I have dig a bit deeper on this issue and it seems that GM has the same issue. Using a test image with exif version 2.3 http://dev.exiv2.org/projects/exiv2/repository/raw/testdata/trunk/1153/DSC01769.JPG and querying it with GM utilities, we can see that GM still calls it "ISO Speed Ratings" instead of "PhotographicSensitivity":


$ gm identify -verbose DSC01769.JPG | grep -iE 'exif|iso|sensitivity'
  Profile-EXIF: 44455 bytes
    Exif Offset: 364
    ISO Speed Ratings: 100
    Exif Version: 0230
    Exif Image Width: 6000
    Exif Image Length: 4000

I'm not sure of what's happening here but the end point is that Matlab is naming an exif tag as `ISOSpeedRatings` which does not appear under Octave. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36644018/how-to-read-iso-speed-of-an-image-in-octave/36646300#36646300

What Octave does is an hardcoded list of EXIF tags and tehn looks for them within the very large of graphicsmagick tags http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/1dda942a2514/libinterp/dldfcn/__magick_read__.cc#l1981

This may be fixed by replacing the search for that specific list of tags by using all tags that start by "Exif:" and then remove all the ones we don't want.

But that is dependent on what GM does which I don't know.  Would be nice to have the problematic image for testing (I have asked on the SO question for it).
