Photography Asked by Steve Franks on August 3, 2021
Some of my older images are showing Date Taken later than the actual date that the camera took the image.
The EXIF data shows the correct Date Taken in the field APP12::PictureInfoTimeDateDateTimeOriginal
I’ve tried copying DateTimeOriginal to Files’ Date Created using Exiftool, exiftool "-FileCreateDate<DateTimeOriginal" -r 1999*.jpg but Windows and other programs still show the wrong date data.
Is FileCreateDate the field that is used by Windows to display Date Taken? I can’t see an Exif field with that name.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
That DateTimeOriginal tag is located in an extremely old and outdated group, not in the EXIF data. Windows wouldn't know how to read the APP14 PictureInfo group and I doubt that there are many programs outside of exiftool and maybe exiv2 that would even be able to see that data.
The command you would want to use with exiftool to copy that data to the EXIF timestamps would be
exiftool "-AllDates<PictureInfo:DateTimeOriginal" /path/to/files/
