Hello,
is it possible to write IPTC information to Nikon NEF files with exiftool?
I always got an error message!

Best regards

Hi Christoph,

Yes you can do this.  If you edited the NEF files with a Nikon
utility, it is likely that some format errors were introduced which
will cause exiftool to generate error messages in exiftool versions
before 7.24.  In these older versions, the -m option must
be used to downgrade these errors to allow the files to be written.
As of exiftool 7.24, the errors are downgraded automatically
so the files can be written without the -m option.
ExifTool corrects these errors when it rewrites the file.
