Hi,
I have a large amount of .jpg images that were produced with a DIA scanner (JAY-tech Combo-Scanner PS970).
The three warnings that ExifTool 11.0.3 (used from inside GeoSetter 3.5.0 Build 2188 / ExifToolGUI 5.16.0.0) shows are:
[minor] Bad offset for MakerNotes tag 0x0022
[minor] Bad offset for MakerNotes tag 0x011c
[minor] Overlapping MakerNotes values
I've tried to find a solution on how to FIX the metadata inside such an image but I failed...
Btw, the output of exiftool.exe -validate -error -warning -a -r "T:\DIAs\Gyula - 1987
for a single file looks like this:
======== T:/DIAs/Gyula - 1987/Gyula - 1987_01.jpg
Validate : 7 Warnings (6 minor)
Warning : [minor] Invalid date/time format for EXIF:ModifyDate
Warning : [minor] Invalid date/time format for EXIF:DateTimeOriginal
Warning : [minor] Invalid date/time format for EXIF:CreateDate
Warning : Non-standard format (int16u) for ExifIFD 0x927c MakerNoteUnknown
Warning : [minor] Overlapping MakerNotes values
Warning : [minor] Bad offset for MakerNotes tag 0x0020
Warning : [minor] Bad offset for MakerNotes tag 0x011c
Can anyone enlighten me how I fix these warnings _inside the .jpg files_ once and for all?
FAQ 15 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q15) deals specifically with makernote warnings, but I think you should look at FAQ 20 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q20) for help fixing all the problems.

Edit: I just found the sample file you sent via email. FAQ 15/20 won't fix these makernote errors. The only way to get rid of these warnings is to delete the maker notes. You can do this with -makernotes= at the end of the command line.

Thanks so much, Phil!
set "date=2005:10:23 15:06:34"
exiftool.exe -IFD0:ModifyDate="%date%" -ExifIFD:DateTimeOriginal="%date%" -ExifIFD:CreateDate="%date%" -makernotes= "<folder for image>"
Fixed all warnings completely!
