Help with date problem.
Ron Hunter
when I noticed that she had the date and year, as well as the time,
incorrectly set. Now I have the time and date in the EXIF data in
error, as well as the Windows file date being the same.
It doesn't look like Exifer will be useful for this problem. Anyone
have a program that will correct this problem. It seems like something
that could happen often.

Sigh.
I am not inclined to try to decipher a command line interface, given the
nature of such interfaces when combined with a person who doesn't type
very well, and who is unfamiliar with the program. I am sure that the
program would do what I want, but trying to figure it out is more work
than this is worth.

feature but the program does other things well.

EXIFeditor has a GUI and can change EXIF dates/times (or other tags),
singly or in batch. It's freeware. The down side is that it requires
NET framework 2.0 or higher to run.
An advanced version, now named METAeditor is also available as
freeware, but requires NET framework 3.0.

I should have added that if you are running Vista, .NET framework 3.0
is built in to it. If you have XP you'll have to download a free copy
of NET 3.0/3.5 from Microsoft, unless you alteady have. : )

Ron,
I think that PIE (Picture Information Extractor) will do that:
Select the images, and use the Metadata, Adjust Date Picture Taken....
option.
Never used that function myself, mind.
Cheers,
David

If so, I didn't find it. It seems like such a simple, and 'likely'
problem, I am surprised it is so difficult to find a quick, easy, free,
fix for it. Still looking, but thanks for trying.
I guess I will have to check the time/date in our cameras more often.
Mine won't even extend the lens until the time/date is set after a
battery change. My wife's seems to retain the time/date, and so doesn't
hold up progress that way, but then is subject to having the wrong date
stay in there for a while.

try this:
<http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/foto/exif/exiftoolgui.htm>
it looks like it can do a time shift.
Ron Hunter
The GUI for exiftool did the job. Now I have good dates for the files.
Thanks to everyone who replied.
