Raspistill options and EXIF data are inconsistent

[lingon]

Hi!

I'm testing a camera module on a Raspberry Pi Model A running with the latest available kernel
uname -a
Linux rpicam2 3.6.11+ #538 PREEMPT Fri Aug 30 20:42:08 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux
vcgencmd version
Aug 30 2013 20:54:23
Copyright (c) 2012 Broadcom
version 634f1745cbadf6eb4d37135af471cbc7801eb60f (clean) (release)

I tested some of the raspistill options and found the following:
1) Option -mm metering mode gives in the EXIF data
-mm average: Metering Mode: center weight
-mm spot: Metering Mode: spot
-mm backlit: Metering Mode: other
-mm matrix: Metering Mode: average
This is a bit confusing in my opinion.

2) Option -awb auto whitebalance does not seem to do anything and EXIF always reports
Whitebalance : Auto

3) Option -ex does change the picture but EXIF always reports
Exposure : aperture priority (semi-auto)

4) Option -ev does not seem to do anything and is not reported in the EXIF data.

It would be nice if these issues could be improved on in raspistill.

Hmm, that a bit odd. Most of that stuff is set by the GPU code. You cuold override using the command line should you wish.

Can you add a bug report to github please,so this doesn't get forgotten. Ta.
