After update to iOS 26.7 metadata / EXIF data get corrupted for camera (no information except for iPhones), exposure time (always set to 259 sec. for Canon cameras, Sony o.k.), f-stop (always set to 259 for Canon cameras, Sony o.k.) and focal length (always set to 258.99 mm for Canon cameras, Sony o.k.). Any information how to resolve this issue?

Could you post the original out of camera .jpg and the Lightroom-exported .jpg on some cloud service so we can take a look?
Yes, the EXIF information is fully available for the photos and I can see it in the file browser under „information“.
In the meantime, I have done a countercheck with jpg files directly out of camera and imported to the photos app. No issue in this case, the EXIF metadata are correctly displayed in the photos app. The issue comes up with jpg files exported from the Lightroom mobile app. Again, all metadata information available in the file browser, but the information gets corrupted once the photos are imported to the photos app.
I just upgraded to 26.7.1 on my iPad, and I don't see any problems with Photos metadata. My Nikon and iPhone data are intact. Old Canon cameras' data seems OK. Have you looked at the Exif data directly?
