formatted.Flash	Exif.Photo.Flash	Flash
formatted.Resolution	Exif.Image.XResolution Exif.Image.YResolution Exif.Image.ResolutionUnit	Recorded horizontal and vertical image density, for example 300 x 300 (dot/inch). This is separate from the image dimensions in pixels and the monitor's physical pixel density. Valid EXIF density values take precedence. EXIF density retains its recorded unit, which may be per inch or per centimeter; a missing unit is shown as unknown. If either EXIF density value is missing or invalid, Geeqie uses JPEG JFIF density or PNG pHYs density when available. JFIF density retains its recorded unit; PNG pixels per meter are converted to pixels per inch. Values that specify only pixel aspect ratio are not displayed. If no usable density is available, the tag is empty.
