Cell Phone Camera Pictures

forensic_ryan · 2007-03-23T03:46:29Z

I recently acquired some photos taken and stored on an LG VX5300 phone, looked at them in WinHex and ExifViewer, and was unable to find any EXIF data associated with the pictures taken by the camera in the phone. There are a couple of images on there that appear to be desktop images that came with the phone, and they have EXIF data, so it couldn't have been that the photos used to have EXIF data, but it was lost in the acquisition. Are there any special programs or methods out there for viewing EXIF data specific to cell phone photos?Also, interestingly enough, it appears that the date and time that a photo is taken may be stored in the filename; they are stored with filenames like 1022051508.jpg, 1115051013.jpg, 1115051014.jpg, etc, implying October 22, 2005 at 308 PM for the first one. However, I have no conclusive proof that this is indeed how the phone names the images. The only way I can think of proving this is to buy another identical phone and take some pictures with it, noting the actual date/time they are taken. Any other ideas?

What did you use to extract the data from the LG VX5300, as I have one to do now, but nothing is working.

I used BitPim to extract the stuff - http//www.bitpim.org/

The data cable was rather tricky to find - it wasn't anywhere local, so it had to be ordered over the internet. Apparently this is due to the phone being fairly newish. I can't remember exactly where I got it from, but http//www.cellphoneshop.net/usbdacaforlg8.html seems to have the correct one.
