## EXIF data

In XR Simulation, a Simulated Exif Data component is added to the simulated camera GameObject to simulate AR Foundation's [EXIF data](xref:arfoundation-exif-data) feature.

| Property                     | Description                           |
| :--------------------------- | :------------------------------------ |
| **Aperture Value**           | The lens aperture.                    |
| **Exposure Bias Value**      | The exposure bias.                    |
| **Focal Length**             | The lens focal length in millimeters. |
| **Metering Mode**            | The metering mode.                    |
| **Photographic Sensitivity** | The photographic sensitivity (ISO).   |

XR Simulation uses the provided values as the simulated camera’s physical specifications and calculates corresponding EXIF tag values.
