Funduro, that same thing is on the right click in Windows, but you can't change it from there and even if you could, it would be one image at a time. So if you have a few hundred pictures to do it would take you hours and you would have to change the date and time in many cases.

Will have to go find that tool, though every time I look for that "*LINK REMOVED*" link, I get a 401 page not found error... :p

Just grabbed it and ExifToolGUI that is a GUI front end for the command line interface. That should be an awesome combo for mass changing EXIF data.

On Macs right click and EXIF info is there. Tried to get it on my Win laptop like my iMac. Found the best way to solve it. Went out and bought a MacBook Pro, problem solved.

There's also a nice command-line tool called jhead which does much the same thing. Comes with most Linux distributions, I think there's a Windows port too.

This actually looks very useful. My P&S resets the date and time to Jan. 1 2007 every time I change the battery, and I don't always have the luxury of stopping to set the correct date and time when I change out the battery (sorry, but if I have the choice between getting the next shot and fiddling in the menus, I'm going for the shot). Thanks for sharing this!

I'm glad I could help :)

BTW, this tool can be used also to display the EXIF info of files containing photos, in this way you can learn how the photo was taken (if the owner did not remove the EXIF in the file, most of the sites remove it)

I also use a tool called IExif (From Opanda), that with a right click on a photo, even inside your web-browser, you can display the EXIF of the photo (if any).

Hello,

Few years ago I had the chance to meet this tool, called exiftool, that I used to change the date on several photos that had their dates wrongly set after resetting my old camera.

Now this tool served me again on a bunch of NEF files out of my D7000, that had wrong dates (because I forgot to change the time-zone as soon I returned home from after a long flight from the States), by adding 10Hrs to the dates present on the EXIF fields.

The tool can be downloaded from: *LINK REMOVED*

This tool runs on a command prompt (I use int under Micro$oft Windows, but as far I know it runs under MAC OS X), it is used as a batch command to fix or display the EXIF field of a group of files.

I needed to shift the dates by 10Hrs, therefore I have run the tool as:
(Let's say that the current directory has only the files that had the wrong timestamps)

exiftool -AllDates+=10 *.nef

And all my original NEF files in the current directory had their dates shifted by 10 Hrs. (just as I wanted).

Disclaimer: I do not have any connection to exiftool, Use this tool on your own responsability. I'm just a happy user of it.

Hope it helps.
