Hallo,
OpenCamera always creates a custom binary encoded user comment in JPGs that looks weird on some exif tools. That's not a major problem but i neither know what this data is nor am i able to deactivate that. I have geotagging, gps data and pitch/roll data disabled already. I don't see any other advice in the manual.
The questions are:
1) What are these data blobs?
2) How can i read/convert them to human-readable format?
3) How can i deactivate creating this data in the first place?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm not aware of what this is. Under default settings the JPEG comes straight from the camera driver. In some cases the JPEG is resaved (e.g., options like HDR or auto-stabilise) with Exif tags transferred using the standard Android API. User comment is only used if the option "Store yaw, pitch and roll" is enabled.
I guess try some other third party camera applications, how do they compare? And if that doesn't show the issue, try resetting Open Camera's settings with Settings/Settings Manager/"Reset settings", does it still occur there?

You're right. The stock camera app does it as well. Looks like its the driver then.
Thank you!
