NAME
Image::ExifTool::Pentax - Definitions for Pentax/Asahi maker notes
SYNOPSIS
This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.
DESCRIPTION
This module contains definitions required by Image::ExifTool to interpret Pentax and Asahi maker notes in EXIF information.
NOTES
I couldn't find a good source for Pentax maker notes information so I've tried to figure out some of it myself based on sample pictures from the Optio 550, Optio S and *istD. So far, what I have figured out isn't very complete, and some of it may be wrong.
While the Pentax maker notes are stored in standard EXIF format, the offsets used for some of the Optio cameras are wacky. They seem to give the offset relative to the offset of the tag in the directory. Very weird. I'm just ignoring this peculiarity, but it doesn't affect much except the PrintIM data since other data is generally less than 4 bytes and therefore doesn't require a pointer.
