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.

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 4/1 second ===> 4 second

# Components Configuration = 0x01,0x02,0x03,0x00 / YCbCr
# Exposure Bias (EV) = 0/6 ===> 0

Max Aperture = ƒ/5.66
# Metering Mode = pattern / multi-segment (5)
