# Metadata

For optimal results, we recommend uploading all original metadata included in the file captured by the camera. Several features of Autoenhance rely on or enjoy improved performance with this metadata:

1. **Lens Correction**: Requires metadata such as Make, Model, and Lens information to identify the best profile for correcting lens distortion.
2. **Perspective Correction**: Requires lens distortion to have been corrected to make sure it corrects perspectives accurately, this feature requires either the information for lens correction to be available or the metadata that indicates that the image has already been lens corrected (This varies from camera to camera)
3. **HDR Grouping**: Utilizes Date Taken and Exposure Value (This varies from camera to camera) metadata for improving the bracket grouping accuracy for High Dynamic Range (HDR) images.

Including this metadata ensures that our Autoenhance features can apply corrections and enhancements with optimal accuracy and quality.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.autoenhance.ai/file-guidelines/metadata.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
