I assume you have automatic rotation of jpeg images turned on, which is why I'm marking this bug as a duplicate.

Rapid Photo Downloader 0.4.3 introduced a feature to losslessly rotate jpeg images using the program jpegtran. The version of jpegtran you have in Ubuntu 14.04 has a bug that causes the Makernote metadata to be copied incorrectly. So with the images you copied using
Rapid, you may not be able to view the Makernotes.

Due to the very serious nature of this bug in jpegtran I have totally removed the lossless rotate feature in Rapid Photo Downloader 0.9, and it will not be returning! If you still wish to use Rapid Photo Downloader, then I suggest turning off the auto-rotate feature.
