| IFD Data | Variable | Standard TIFF IFD with Olympus Tags |
This makernote has no header - the IFD starts immediately
For format specifications of TIFF Image File Directory data, see Section 2 of: TIFF, Revision 6.0, June 3, 1992, Adobe Systems Incorporated
For details of Olympus tags, See the Olympus Makernote Page Here
All EXIF offsets are relative to the start of the TIFF header at the beginning of the EXIF segment
Camera settings are defined using binary string containing 4 byte LONG values.
The position of a value in the string determines what the value represents.
A lookup table is used to determine the meaning of each value
