Thank you for reporting this.  EXIF data is not read from JPEG files at
the moment, but there is now a ticket on our issue tracking system for
doing so:

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/12287

You have been CC'd, and so will be notified of updates to that ticket.
If you prefer not to receive updates, please let us know.

GitHub issues are a fine place to report things as well, it's just a
little easier for us to miss things there as they become mixed in
with open pull requests.
