Description

Panasonic cameras such as the Lumix DMC-GF1 and GF3 produce RW2 files. metadata-extractor parses the TIFF successfully, but the tags are unknown or even incorrectly presented.

Note that Exiftool can process these files.

(Migrated from Google Code issue 35)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research the RW2 file format structure, especially how it differs from standard TIFF, and understand the existing TIFF reader in metadata extractor to extend it for RW2 tags.
