    According to Caja's source code - it has EXIF-related functionality in all current versions.

    So you need to have exif-packages installed in the system. Caja depends on libexif12 package. If unsure install it with:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall libexif12

    And then you check the information in Image tab of file Properties.
    It will show at least image type and dimensions.
    If image has EXIF information - then it will be displayed too:

    Caja, Properties → Image

    If you do not have EXIF in this tab - then it means that it was removed from image.
    You can use exiftool from libimage-exiftool-perl package to confirm.
