Safe makernote types

[Phil Harvey]

You can see for yourself.  I listed the models where show this problem.  You can download samples of each from here.  Look at them with the Exiftool -htmlDump feature.

Thanks Phil.  I'm trying to avoid the problem of changing too much exif in my app.  Would love to just edit XMP data.  But then I realized changing/adding camera and date information requires changing the exif data.

Just to be clear.  All of these types have problems

I'm going to start a database of these issues from your list of files for makernotes that go by your typing system, camera sample, makernote structure and whether it is contained in the app1 segment of exif.  Would you be interested in hosting it.  Could be useful

[Phil Harvey]

I would have to see what your database looks like before I could answer this.  But my guess is that it wouldn't be worth posting because it would be of interest to only a very small number of people.

[Phil Harvey]

exiftool -p "$filename,$makernotes:all" DIR
