There are tha address of thumbnail image and its length in this IFD.

The address to IFD2 0x0000 B5EE is stored after the end of IFD1.

This IFD has many informations for the small image which is uncompressed 16bit-color depth image.
In the sample, the start address of image data is 0x000A 5560.(entry #5)

Below is dump of image data.

Each data per 2 bytes means red, green and blue value. That is, the first pixel is as follows:
Red value :0x0806
Green value : 0x07FF
Blue value : 0x07FF

This samall image is used in DPP's histogram and small image of tool pallet.
(DPP (Digital Photo Professional) is the application provided by Canon).

If you would like to decode the raw data and transfer to a viewable image format, you should not consider this. However, if you would like to encode or to rewrite into CR2 format, you should.

The address to IFD3 0x0000 B6A6 is stored after the end of IFD2 like other IFD.
This address is same as the address in the file header.
