On my EOS R i got the message:

Warning: [Minor] Not decoding some large array(s). Ignore minor errors to decode -


Anything to worry about?
Can you suppress the message?

No, all exiftool is telling you is that there is data it isn't taking the time to decode because it is probably extensive and most likely of little use normally.

QuoteCan you suppress the message?

You can add the -q -q (-quiet -quiet) option, but that will suppress other messages that might be important.  It's best just to ignore this message when it pops up.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

...or you could add -m to ignore the minor warning and decode the large array, but performance may suffer and you may run into memory limitations.

- Phil
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

When i do it for 2000 time lapse images at the same time, i have a long list.

Thanks, that works very well.
