Yes it is most probably the camera but I would not exclude the software. The exact same problem could be either in the camera or the software you use. But if you have twi pics with each display (1/1 and 1) I would be glad to check what is indeed in the EXIF although you can do it too with some software if you have the time/motivation to.
