Minolta Tags

These tags are used by Minolta and Konica/Minolta cameras. Minolta doesn't make things easy for decoders because the meaning of some tags and the location where some information is stored is different for different camera models. (Take MinoltaQuality for example, which may be located in 5 different places.)

Minolta CameraSettings Tags

There is some variability in CameraSettings information between different models (and sometimes even between different firmware versions), so this information may not be as reliable as it should be. Because of this, tags in the following tables are set to lower priority to prevent them from superceeding the values of same-named tags in other locations when duplicate tags are disabled.
