Description

Hi.

I found out the (AFAIK yet undocumented) tag for the manometer of some Panasonic cameras.

The tag "Exif.Panasonic.0x0086" gives the pressure in unit "hPa".

I verified this using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT4, with a whole series of shots, comparing the pressure value displayed for the pictures in the camera (where the unit is given, too) with the values from all tags.
They always matched.

I've had a few test pictures from the successor DMC-FT3 and while I haven't had the camera there, the values seemed highly reasonable to be the correct pressure values, just as in the DMC-FT4.

Please integrate :)

Christoph

Apologies for taking so long to looking at your issue report. We're preparing to release v0.25 in mid-May. Can you provide a test image please and this will be investigated.

No worries :-)

Attached are two images.
As you can see the camera apparently uses a special value of 65535 when being under water (the pressure sensor doesn't work there unfortunately).

Deferred to v0.26. Insufficient time to deal with this for v0.25.

Thanks very much Ben for dealing with this. Two very nice photos. I've submitted changes to the test suite: r4460

I've extracted the metadata from the images and added them to the test suite.

I've updated test/bugfixes.sh (and test/data/bugfixes.out) to use the metadata. I call this a "regression detector". If Exiv2 reverts to its former behaviour, we'll know about it!
