Output file metadata, from which image in bracket set?

Hello,
In a bracket set (example 3 shots), from which image does the output file take the metadata, such as time stamp and GPS?
(first, second, third image?)

A simple test shows that SNS takes the metadata from the lightest exposure in the bracket. Regardless of how images sort by filename, date, or other criteria, SNS apparently re-sorts them internally by exposure, lightest to darkest.

Unlike many other HDR programs, SNS ignores EXIF exposure data and relies instead on its own analysis of exposure. That's a good thing to do. Photomatix, for example, complains if the EXIF data does not make sense and requires you to do manual overides.

Actually it does not matter. both the GPS position and the recording time should be very close to each other. if not, it will be difficult with the align ;-)

But Good to know.
