Just wanted to mention here (as gopro 7 doesn’t seem to have this): I noticed my gopro hero 9 does seem to save exif data to the images from the timelapse photo mode. ---

Do you notice if it saves the camera angle also? Many GoPros always are showing “0 degrees” as the camera angle by default ---

(Keep in mind, this is from the photo timelapse mode) (also keep in mind that I haven’t used this gopro for mapillary purposes yet (only for taking pictures of litter, mounted on a grabberstick)) This is an example of the exiff data from one of the images: > Basic Image Information > > | | Target file: | G0018872.JPG | > | --- | --- | --- | > | — | — | | > | Description: | DCIM\104GOPRO\G0018872.JPG | | > | Camera: | GoPro HERO9 Black | | > | Lens: | 3 mm | | > | (Max aperture f/2.4) | | | > | Exposure: | Auto exposure, Program AE, 1/2,048 sec, f/2.5, ISO 100 | | > | Flash: | No flash function | | > | Date: | **March 28, 2021** 10:21:55AM (timezone not specified) | | > | (1 day, 12 hours, 34 minutes, 9 seconds ago, assuming image timezone of 1 hour ahead of GMT) | | | > | | | | > | Location: | Latitude/longitude: **51°** 2’ 47.4" North, **3°** 22’ 36.7" East | | > | ( 51.046490, 3.376853 ) | | | > > Map via embedded coordinates at: [Google](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&q=loc:51.046490,3.376853&t=k&spn=0.5,0.5), [Yahoo](http://maps.yahoo.com/#lat=51.046490&lon=3.376853&zoom=10&mvt=m&trf=0), [WikiMapia](http://wikimapia.org/#lat=51.046490&lon=3.376853&m=h&z=19), [OpenStreetMap](http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.046490&mlon=3.376853&zoom=15), [Bing](http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=51.046490~3.376853&lvl=17&dir=0&sty=r&sp=Point.51.046490_3.376853_encoded+image+locationfoo) (also see the Google Maps pane below) > > Altitude: 59 meters (193 feet) > Timezone guess from [earthtools.org](http://earthtools.org): [1 hour ahead of GMT](http://www.earthtools.org/index.php?x=3.376853&y=51.046490&z=8&t=0&m=Map)| > |File:| **5,184 × 3,888** JPEG ( **20.2** megapixels) > 3,207,231 bytes (3.1 megabytes)| > |Color Encoding:| **WARNING:** No color-space metadata and no embedded color profile: **Windows and Mac browsers and apps treat colors randomly**. > > Images for the web are most widely viewable when in the sRGB color space and with an embedded color profile.

Forgot to say: so the camera this time was on auto rotation mode iirc (it locks itself once the timelapse starts) But it does list it in both modes in the exiff: > Orientation Rotate 270 CW
