Samsung D900 camphone stores date incorrect
Authored by: tieneus on Oct 11, '07 08:20:30AM
My Samsung D900 camera-phone stores the dates in the EXIF always as 1-1-2006 (or so)

Simply use jhead -dsft *.jpg on the files to set
the EXIF date to the file creation-date so that for instance
iphoto can organize your photos correctly. :-)

Nokia 6133 camphone doesn't store EXIF date at all
Authored by: improbable on May 27, '08 09:59:26PM

I have the same problem with my Nokia: no EXIF date, only a file date (which is actually the time downloaded, not time shot.) But I couldn't get jhead to work for me.

With ExifTool, the command I'm using is
exiftool -P '-DateTimeOriginal<FileModifyDate' *.jpg
which I think does the same thing. -P tells it not to adjust the file's time.

Incidentally the reason I want this is that, while Aperture falls back to using the file's time if there's no EXIF time, Lightroom does not. I don't know about iPhoto.
