Does anyone else with a a7RVI have a smugmug account and use DxO Photolab? I am having an odd issue with the EXIF info not showing correctly for the Lens focal length when I upload photos processed in DxO PL9. The files I edit in Lightroom show all of the information correctly. I contacted Smugmug support and they responded quickly saying there were a couple of things that looked wrong in the EXIF data. I also contacted DxO and they responded last night asking for a video showing the problem. In creating that video I tried one other thing as a test. I shot an image to use in the DxO video in RAW + JPG mode and uploaded the JPG directly to my Smugmug account. It also shows incorrect data for lens type and focal length so I sent a message to Sony support as well. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I am trying to get more data to help determine where the problem lies. Would anyone be willing to send me a jpg file straight out of an a7Rvi? I think it could probably be done by starting a conversation to send me a private message.

Update - I downloaded some of the first sample files from DPReview that were jpgs SOOC and they show the same errors in the lens info on my SmugMug account. I'm hoping that a firmware update will correct whatever exif item is causing the problem.

It's really frustrating to deal with different companies when there is a problem like I'm having. I finally got through to Sony Support on a chat. I've also contacted SmugMug Support and DxO Support. I've also uploaded JPG files straight from the camera to Flickr and 500px and both display the correct lens info. Sony says it's a SmugMug issue, SmugMug says that there are some problems with the EXIF data, DxO sent me a program to run diagnostics. This morning I took the files I exported from DxO and imported them into LRC. I then exported them and uploaded to SmugMug. That does get the lens info to show correctly.
