Hi,
I am trying to write to "-Minolta:FlashExposureComp" from my Minolta a-7 film camera data (eg 0.0, +1.0, +2.0) into the scanned JPG images from my Fuji Frontier scanner and nothing is working.
I ended up running the command with -v2 (Rewriting MakerNoteFujiFilm) to see what was going on and I think the issue may be that Fuji has a small MakerNotes section which they use to record the Frame Number and Order Number, which I imagine is used when the scanner is in a photo lab and being used to track orders for customers etc but I don't need at all.
---- MakerNotes ----
Frame Number : 36
Order Number : 0
I'm assuming you can only have one lot of MakerNotes per file? Or maybe I just can't write "-Minolta:FlashExposureComp" to a jpeg file?
Thanks for your help
Jason

See FAQ #23 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q23)
Also note that MakerNotes tags can not be created or deleted individually, so they can only be written if they already exist in a file.
You can't create
Minolta:FlashExposureComp if there isn't already a Minolta MakerNotes group in the image.
Great thanks StarGeek - I searched forever on Google and couldn't find that answer but that all makes sense. I'll have to use UserComment I guess.
Thanks
Jason
