            Bug ID: 326409
           Summary: Some EXIF tags are not read
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.5.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: nicofo at tuxfamily.org

Some EXIF tags (including concerning geolocation information (country name,
city, landmark, etc...)) are not read by digikam (nor showphoto), while they
are read by other software. These tags are Panasonic Makernote tags.

Example of such picture: see
  http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/tmp/panasonic-tz40-GPSinfo.JPG

Example of software that can read these tags: "ExifView" (available on
android). A screenshot of ExifView, with the missing information in digikam
(Panasonic Makernote - City ; Country ; Landmark ; Location ; State) is given
below:

In comparison, the Panasonic Makernote Exif tags are very poor in digikam:

Remark also that some tags are not correctly displayed in digikam, like:
- 'Baby Age' ("9999 .." instead of nothing) 
- 'Time since power on' ("14987" instead of "149,87 sec" in ExifView, under
'Camera Uptime')
- ...

Reproducible: Always
