Abstract
A method for storing digital images is presented. The method includes capturing an image using a digital camera system. It also comprises capturing metadata associated with the image or a moment of capture of the image. Further, it comprises storing the metadata in at least one field within a file format, wherein the file format defines a structure for the image, and wherein the at least one field is located within an extensible segment of the file format. In one embodiment, the metadata is selected from a group that comprises audio data, GPS data, time data, related image information, heat sensor data, gyroscope data, annotated text, and annotated audio.
