This exif is weird; I was in auto mode but it shows a 400 iso? and no focal length at all... and that is 1/6000th of a sec. or is it?

Model : Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
DateTime : 2008:07:18 06:50:43
Sub Information
ExposureTime : 1/60Sec
FNumber : F0.0
ExposureProgram : Program Normal
ISOSpeedRatings : 400
ExposureBiasValue : EV0.0
MeteringMode : Division
Flash : Fired(Auto)
FocalLength : 0.00(mm)

The ex time is 1/60 sec , slow as you said your exif is weird; I use multi metering mode for splashes Like this http://SnapsDrops.smugmug.com/photos..._MXa2d-M-5.jpg

I have tried to update this thread but it is so long and so much has been removed maybe i should just start a new one if anyone is interested let me know . I am still addicted to water drops & have finaly gotten a grip on how to catch these addictive water drops on my Cannon 5D mark ll . It was easier with the point & shoot camera .
Happy St Patrick's Day everyone .table style="width:194px;">
