Modifying Canon RAW EXIF time-taken

[Dilip]

Is there a tool available for Windows that will modify in a Canon RAW
file the EXIF time-taken of a picture? I love a tool called jhead and
regularly use it to set exported JPGs timestamps to the time taken.
Yesterday, I shot on my Canon 30D and didn't realize that the time had
changed +1 hour. I can use jhead to adjust all the JPGs taken
yesterday after 1a by +1hour - but I shoot jpg+RAW. Can the RAWs be
modified as well? Thanks!

RoboGeo can change the time in the RAW file. Adobe Lightroom also, but only
in the Lightroom database and not in the RAW files directly.

I've not tried with a RAW, but it's possible to change the date created in
Adobe Bridge for scanned TIFF files. Although Bridge won't allow you to
date them further back than 1950, which is limiting if you're
scanning very old photos.

I have heard people say that you can change the time in raw files with
ExifTool, but I've not tried it myself and am not sure how user friendly it
is, as it's a command line utility:

This guy has created a frontend gui for ExifTool::

Microsoft Pro Photo tools is supposed to allow this too, which I would
imagine would be more user friendly, but again I've not tried it personally:

If you try any of the above, let us know how you get on.

Oh, apparently, Microsoft Pro Photo tools will not save to CR2 or DNG files
in 32-bit Vista w/ Service Pack 1.

Why did the camera jump ahead an hour? It sounds as though it knew enough to
go on daylight time. None of my Canons are that smart. Could it be that some
program (the EOS Utility?) automatically synchronized the camera's time with
that of the computer?
