 Images from Olympus cameras are automatically given the caption "Olympus
 Digital Camera."

 Steps to reproduce:

 1) Upload image that came from Olympus camera
 2) Alternative text and caption are automatically filled in with OLYMPUS
 DIGITAL CAMERA

 [[Image(automaticcaption.png,100%)]]

 3) Published image displays grey border with caption OLYMPUS DIGITAL
 CAMERA

 images.

 This may be due to an update in r117617-wpcom in May 6th, there appears to
 be code for media to “Use image exif/iptc data for title and caption
 defaults if possible.”

 This is an image that was uploaded May 5th:

 And this was uploaded May 7th, after the update:
