💖 Image::ExifTool::NikonCustom 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Nikon custom settings page — this is the Image::ExifTool::NikonCustom module, and it's here to read and write all that Nikon custom-settings goodness. ✨

This is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it is so ready to spill the tea. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.

no cap, you literally don't have to do anything — she shows up on her own when she's needed. main character energy fr fr. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the situation, bestie: the Nikon custom functions are extremely specific to the camera model — like, we're talking very specific. and sometimes they literally change when the firmware version changes. 😭 not even joking, the same camera can switch it up on you.

where does all this live? the info is stored as unformatted binary data in the ShotInfo record of the Nikon MakerNotes. so it's just... raw bytes sitting there, no labels, no vibes, nothing. 💀

and that's where this module comes in — it holds all the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs to decode that messy binary blob into something a human can actually read. it's giving translator, it's giving dictionary, it's giving iconic. 👑
