Changing date change Exif.Photo.MakerNote COUNT field

Added by Anonymous Poster over 7 years ago

Dear All,
I am using exiv2 ver 0.22 in Ubuntu 12.04 to fix some date/time in Exif.
I've noticed something weird which I cannot explain myself so you maybe have an answer to that.

This is the command I used to modify the Exif date

exiv2 -a -00:15:00 adjust original.jpg

I make a diff between the original and the modified image (exiv2.jpg) and noticed that exiv2 modified also the count value for the Exif.Photo.MakerNote tag (see below)

Could you please explain me why this happen? Is it a bug?

diff ‘exiv2.txt' 'original.txt'

To add some details to the problem
The camera is an Olympus D750 and I attached here after the MakerNote output for both the original and the modified images.
It seems the modified has the MakerNote truncated.

I am attaching the pictures as well.
