You could easily check it with

	% file /media/camera/*JPG

or even

	% identify /media/camera/*JPG

if you've installed the ImageMagick port.

I have a Canon S3 IS which supports both modes. Check the camera
for its settings.

In fact, the gphoto2 port is an excellent means for dealing with PTP

and then check / view them.
