Nikon D80 clock, am pm

[cyana]

Hi

New here today, but was member many years ago. Couldn't remember which email I used.

I was moving some photos from camera to phone and noticed the time of day was a.m. instead of p.m. I've had this camera for years and rarely move to phone, usually copy to computer, and don't remember this as a problem.  It's obvious that I'm not taking photos of birds at 3:00 in the morning!  I know there is no setting for am/pm, but wondering if there is some way to do this. I thought choosing time zone (EST) would correct it.

Thanks,

Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, are you trying to correct the clock on your D80 or you are trying to correct the time stamps on your existing image files?

Try advancing the clock 12 hours.

On the cameras I have, the camera itself is set to 24 hour time, so all times under 12 are AM.  If the computer has been reading them correctly, then the problem must be in the phone.

I have seen a couple of EXIF editing programs that claim to do time shifts, but I've never seemed to get them to work.  EXIF Pilot supposedly will do this with individual files (free version, but must pay for batch) and EXIFTOOL GUI, supposedly will, but when I tried it nothing happened.  You might have better luck there.

As long as the date is correct, I'm not sure I'd mind too much if the time was 12 hrs out.

I set all my Digital Camera's to UTC (Co-Ordinated Universal Time) , no worries about time zones or daylight saving 😁.
