Nickname of Exif2.2

Exif2.2 refers to technology that accurately prints data recorded 

with the digital camera on the printer.

If you have an Exif2.2-compliant printer and digital camera, the 

printer uses the information recorded when the picture was taken 

for the prints.

enables digital cameras and printers to work together.

If you have a compliant digital camera and printer, you can reflect 

the conditions during recording and the photographer’s intention 

more precisely on prints.
