Rotation info in a NEF file

[photopea]

Hi, when I process the attached NEF file with exiftool, it detects a Rotation: 270. I need to programmatically extract this information form a file, but can not find it anywhere (not in Shot Info, neither in IPTC data, neither in XMP, neither in Exif 0xbc02). Where did Exiftool find it?

This comes from the Nikon maker notes. See here for a complete list of Nikon tags extracted:

Thanks for the answer! According to your link, only Shot Info - tag 145 (0x91) - can contain the information about Rotation / Orientation. I looked into the MakerNote of my file. There is a tag 145 (0x91), which apparently contains "Nikon ShotInfoD3a".

I looked into the definition of ShotInfoD3a here:

https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/blob/bd34970d642d8bd6191909ac857a075be5468275/lib/Image/ExifTool/Nikon.pm

and apparently, it does not contain any Rotation information :( Is it possible, that ExifTool found the rotation information elsewhere, maybe completely outside of MakerNote?

You can see where it came from and the tag ID using this command:

% exiftool -rotation -G1 -H portrait.nef
[NikonCapture] 0x76a43207 Rotation : 270

So the information comes from the Nikon software.

Wow, you are right! I did not notice the whole NikonCapture structure. Thanks!
