--- Comment #8 from Maik Qualmann <[email protected]> ---
The problem is clear. Nikon Z* images generally border on the 64k Exif limit.
When ExifTool copies the metadata into an EXV container, it exceeds the 64k
limit and creates a multi-segment Exif file. Currently, only ExifTool itself or
Adobe can read this Exif metadata, so Exiv2 results in error messages and the
GPS information and MakerNotes cannot be read.

I don't see any solutions at the moment; we would have to omit certain elements
when creating the EXV container, such as the preview image.

I recommend not using ExifTool to read the metadata for these images.

By the way, commercial software also has this problem, for example, when
creating JPG images from NEF and copying the metadata.
