I tried using several other geotagging tools and had the same issue. It seems to occur when writting the
Lat/Long data into the original file. I believe these other tools also use the Exiftool as well.
When had Geosetter write the data just to xmp sidecar files (as opposed to directly in to the
image file) the original image file remained unchanged

it seams, that this was discussused in the ExifTool forum (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=12504.0) and it's a bug in the Sony firmware.
