Canon DIGITAL IXUS 400
What this fingerprint profile shows
Every photo taken by a Canon DIGITAL IXUS 400 carries a consistent set of metadata patterns — written automatically by the firmware at the moment of capture, regardless of any app or privacy setting. The signals below are derived from 5 analysed files and document exactly what this device embeds in every image it creates.
GPS rate — how often this device records your precise location in the file, even when you don't realise GPS is active
DQT compression fingerprint — a unique 64-value matrix baked into the firmware that identifies this camera model even after EXIF metadata has been stripped
MakerNote & firmware strings — proprietary manufacturer data and firmware version tags that reveal processing history, lens details, and scene settings
Privacy risk signals — owner name, body serial number, and lens serial number fields that may contain personally identifying information
