Title: makernote: Warning: [minor] Unrecognized MakerNotes?
Post by: janmartin on August 10, 2010, 11:13:41 AM
When I get this error message, what does it mean?
Is the data e.g. still copied form one file to another?

MakerNotes:
Warning: [minor] Unrecognized MakerNotes

Image is:

Can someone tell me if the MakerNotes has a valid format?

Thanks,
Jan

P.S.: The image is supposed to look this way.

Hi Jan,

MakerNotes use proprietary, undocumented formats, so it is difficult to say whether the format is valid.  Often the TIFF format is used (same as EXIF), which makes things easier to decode, but this doesn't appear to the be case for your sample.
