There have been a lot of improvements to our metadata handling after
version 2.10.18. I would suggest trying the latest version 2.10.32, possibly as
a flatpak, because you also need the latest exiv2 and gexiv2 for up-to-date
metadata handling.

Besides that, camera makers are part of the problem. They introduce all
kinds of proprietary data with every new model. It is always a race to keep
up-to-date with new info from all brands and models.

Anyway. If an up-to-date GIMP with up-to-date metadata libraries as
mentioned above still has problems, then the best thing to do is open an
issue, with a zipped (or otherwise compressed) example image attached. It
needs to be zipped, because GitLab  usually removes most metadata from
images.
