UTF-8 -> Latin1 conversion, L option
I searched the exiftool-page but I didn't find out, what I have to define for -iptc:CodedCharacterSet=Latin1. Sorry I don't know the ESC-sequence.

What happens if the tag is written in UTF-8 and CodedCharacterSet is removed? Remains the coding UTF8?

How would you recommend to code all the tags from UTF-8 to Latin1 and _no_ CodedCharacterSet-tag?

What does exiftool with characters which are not contained in Latin1? Is it possible that complete words, which contain e.g. only 1 non-latin character are removed from keywords? E.g. njemacka (where the c is a special character and I don't know how to write it in the forum), which is Germany in Croatian.

I think the CodedCharacterSet-tag is a problem with Zooomr and I would like to do tests with different metatags.
