Hi!
These lines that exiftool outputs are not necessarily exif metadata.
For example, File Size and File Modification Date/Time are metadata that exist in any file, regardless of the image.
You can execute exiftool.exe -g1 xx.jpg to view the grouped information.
You can execute exiftool.exe -exif:all xx.jpg to view only exif.
