Warning: Invalid PrintIM header for Pentax Optio 43WR Images

All JPG images created by my Pentax Optio 43WR camera display the

"Invalid PrintIM header" warning message
when running the command

ExifTool -warning FILE

Is that a known problem? My search through the database did not turn up anything.

Hi Alf,

That is just the tip of the iceburg.  See my
https://exiftool.org/idiosyncracies.html" target="_blank">maker
note idiosyncracies page for a description of this and some other known
format problems.  The page is not complete, but it will give you an idea
of what to expect.

Thanks, Phil, for the quick response and the explanation.

The quality of digital camera software by some (all?) vendors is quite an embarrassment for the profession!
