MakerNote Formats and Specifications

+

According to the Exif 2.2 standard, the makernote is "a tag for manufacturers of Exif writers to record any desired information. The contents are up to the manufacturer, but this tag should not be used for any other than its intended purpose." Many (but not all) vendors write the makernote in IFD (Image File Directory) format, i.e., in the same format as the rest of the Exif information is encoded. Many manufacturers apparently store a lot of information in the makernote field but unfortunately, most vendors do not publish their specifications.

+

The following table summarizes the structures of the MakerNote field used by some vendors.
