My Nikon D50 doesn't record ISO settings in the EXIF information for.jpgs.why?

When I take pictures using my Nikon D50, it WILL record ISO settings in the EXIF information if I'm shooting in RAW format… But it won't when I'm shooting.jpg format. It looks like they forgot to store that information.

Is there anything I can do?

Added (1). Can't figure out how to respond to Jim's response… But here's more clarification:

- As I said, the ISO info IS recorded when I shoot in RAW format… So, I know where to look, and I'm not reading it incorrectly. It's not there - at all.
- The reader I have is Photoshop Elements 9… Pretty standard stuff.
- I downloaded Opanda on your suggestion… It does not reveal the ISO setting either.

So, back to the point: Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

You can try downloading Opanda - it's an exif data reader and is free. I would bet the data is there you're just not reading it correctly or it's just not showing up on the reader you have.

Jim A seems to be on the right track, even though his specific suggestion did not work. It seems to be a quirk of the Nikon D50.jpg files that the ISO data is captured, but somehow not displayed in the properties for many programs.
Try opening the file from within View NX provided free by Nikon. That should display the ISO. If you have the expensive Capture NX, opening the.jpg with that may show it.
