Title: MakerNote encoding Reconyx PC800
Post by: Zo on March 10, 2022, 08:53:37 AM

Hello !

I need to extract the data contained in the MakerNotes of my Reconyx images with python.

I see that ExifTool does this beautifully, but I need to be able to access this data without downloading a seperate app.

To do so, I need to find out how the MakerNote (in bytes) is encoded, I've tried decoding into utf-8, ASCII, ANSI, utf-16, etc ,etc. Any ideas ? If ExifTool can do it, the method for decoding must be somewhere ! ;D

Thanks !!!

Have you taken a look at the source code (Reconyx.pm) (https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/blob/master/lib/Image/ExifTool/Reconyx.pm) for Reconyx images?
