Fix Marker Notes Error

[Quant007]

Hallo,
When I write EXIF data I get the following error messages:
Warning: [minor] Unrecognized MakerNotes - File
Warning: [minor] Maker notes could not be parsed - File
Warning: [minor] Ignored 4 invalid entries from MakerNotes - File
I know the -m option but is there a way to fix the error permanently?
I have searched the forum and internet for it, but found nothing useful or not recognized it.
Thanks

When you check the output, is there any MakerNotes data at all?  Check with
exiftool -g1 -a -s -MakerNotes:all /path/to/file/

You could try FAQ #20 first, otherwise, maybe just remove the MakerNotes if the data can't be read
exiftool -MakerNotes= /path/to/file/

Though if it's a RAW file, you might want to test it first to see if it can be loaded before applying the command to all the problem files.

exiftool -g1 -a -s -MakerNotes:all /path/to/file/ gives only the result:
Warning: [minor] Unrecognized MakerNotes - /path/to/file/
I tried all the things form FAQ #20, but I get allways
Warning: [minor] Unrecognized MakerNotes - /path/to/file/

Any ideas?

ExifTool doesn't recognize all types of maker notes.  The only way to remove this warning is to delete the maker notes:

exiftool -makernotes:all= FILE

OK, thanks...
That works for me.
