`getPhotoSettings()` returns the width and height, but the EXIF data reveal a bit more information about the camera device. I agree that most of the values you listed are variable and can be changed by the user, but still there is a possibility of leaking information about the camera hardware (we already do that by [extending MediaTrackCapabilities](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-image/#mediatrackcapabilities-section)), so I have to run it through a privacy expert. I understand this is something we can do in the native land, but I would label this as an enhancement and we would likely take up this request based on - - Proof that more customers like you want this and concrete use cases, which are not yet possible. - Make sure the benefits/interest outweigh the costs. User has explicitly given the site permission to **use** the camera using gUM, but user might not want to give site the right to know more about the camera hardware (through exif metadata). @jan-ivar : thoughts ? -- GitHub Notification of comment by riju Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-image/issues/209#issuecomment-677577325 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
