Remarks

When reading or updating Exif comments, you must specify the comment type. Comment fields are constrained by their Exif data type.

All Exif files (TIFF and JPG) can contain the designated TIFF comments. Each TIFF comment field can contain a character string. The maximum field size is 32K, except for the date-time field, which is always 20.
