Subject: Exif data

I've been seeing the exif numbers and wondering about the cameras I believe are purchased in Europe. I notice the speed settings  for example: 10/1250 sec, and by seeing the exposure can only think that means 1/250 sec
I have not  researched it on the net, but figured  I could find out why this difference. Bit confusing to me.

I've noticed it - can't explain it !

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Wouldn´t 1/250 sec be the same as 10/2500 sec? So your example should translate into 1/125 sec...right? Confusing to say the least, LOL.

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

nope - not a "european" thing mine was bought in the UK and displays 1/* - i have noticed it before too, i thought it was something on some prosumer models and the lumix range rings a bell for some reason.

I thought about this  in the morning with fresh mind, and maybe because  euro and uk is on the 24 hr clock they go in thousandths
If the zero is gone at end it would be the same as  North American settings.
10/1250 = 1/125

OK dumb thread now...lol

Crickey... this is basic 1st grade math people if you understand what it says.
10


1250

in other words 10 divided by 1250.  If you can divide the divider and divident by the same number you can do so. i.e. both numbers are divisible by 10 which yields
1


125

or a 125th part of a second.

Oh, and my camera(s) all use 1/x for shutter speed. Maybe it's just a brand specific thing. Maybe it's the exif readout program they're using.

Crickey....why would anyone go to the trouble to divide, when you can slash off a zero, and come up with it.
I was more curious, why a same brand and model of camera has the differences.

Slashing a zero off is the same as dividing by 10 in this case
But yeah, it's strange that a camera would display it like that. But is it the camera that displays it like that or the software? Where did you see this? I'm curious too.
