I once was quite befuddled when a friend, to whom I had sent a digital picture of my son, knew the picture had been taken with an Olympus so-and-so camera and other stuff.
He explained it to me and it made sense.
I don't have any software that would show the exposure time, but it's probably in there.
I just looked and the EXIF data shows a 4 second exposure time. If someone had followed this suggestion earlier, we might have solved the mystery before it was revealed.
