EXIF not loaded into database on upload

How do I get the EXIF information from my photos into the database? When I upload images that I know have EXIF information, that information is not added to the record in the database, it is just all NULL. Is there some setting I need to change or do I need to do something else. Any help would be appreciated.

    There is no setting. The EXIF data that zenphoto recognizes will be loaded if it is referenced. Are you displaying it somewhere?

    I would like to, but when I upload the photos the EXIF data is not captured in the database, so it can't be referenced anywhere, since it hasn't been captured. I assume that the way it is suppose to work is that on upload the exif.php is included and gathers that information and posts to mySQL, but when I upload a file with EXIF in it, the record in mySQL for it doesn't have the EXIF information, all those fields are NULL.

    If you reference the EXIF fields the data will be captured. If you are doing that and not getting any data, perhaps the image does not really have the EXIF that Zenphoto uses.

    How do I reference the EXIF data then? Sounds like I am missing a step or something. I assumed that it would be captured automatically when a photo is uploaded.

    I have done something, not sure what and some data for a picture is now in the database. But I don't know what I did to change it.
