                "content": "I couldn't find a good source for Pentax maker notes information, but I've managed to discover a\nfair bit of information by analyzing sample images downloaded from the internet, and through\ntests with my own Optio S, Optio WP, K10D, K-01 and K-5, and with help provided by other\nExifTool users (see \"ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\").\n\nThe Pentax maker notes are stored in standard EXIF format, but the offsets used for some of\ntheir cameras are wacky. The Optio 330 gives the offset relative to the offset of the tag in the\ndirectory, the Optio WP uses a base offset in the middle of nowhere, and the Optio 550 uses\ndifferent (and totally illogical) bases for different menu entries. Very weird. (It wouldn't\nsurprise me if Pentax can't read their own maker notes!) Luckily, there are only a few entries\nin the maker notes which are large enough to require offsets, so this doesn't affect much useful\ninformation. ExifTool attempts to make sense of this fiasco by making an assumption about where\nthe information should be stored to deduce the correct offsets.\n",
