Metadata in Qt means QObject meta data, so the information about class name, object name, available signals, slots, and access points to parent and children. It has nothing to do with JPEG EXIF data. Qt does not have any built-in mechanism for reading and writing EXIF, you need to use an external library for that. At least as far as I know. There seems to be some meta data available through QMediaObject class, but I have never used it.

I think OP is referring to "this":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-qtmultimedia-camerarecorder.html#setMetadata-method.
Did you try setting "ThumbnailImage":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmediametadata.html#ThumbnailImage-var as the key ? -
Not sure but try passing it as a var.

Hello All, I hope is not too late
You could use a library like exiv2 to read and write metadata EXIF, IPTC and XML metadata. To do that, what I did was follow this guide: "Success: sharing the process of compiling the latest Exiv2 on Win7 (MinGW) + linking from Qt" (http://dev.exiv2.org/boards/3/topics/1259)
