Hello all !
Is any of you ever saw this date/time tag written like this ?
Instead of the classic ":" between the value you have a "-" (see attached file)
Is it a standard EXIF use and does that mean something special about the camera or is there anything else that I miss ?
Thank you for your help !

Please check your file before you upload it. The file you uploaded doesn't contain any EXIF.

Edit: Ah, right. The attached file was a screenshot, not the example file.
Do you have the original file from the camera before being processed by the Lizardq software?
Yes, there are bad programs out there that will write metadata incorrectly.
You can try something like this to fix it (I think)
exiftool -AllDates= -TagsFromFile @ -AllDates /path/to/files/

Thank you StarGeek, will try.
Do you ever saw such bad writings for Date/Time ?

The date part of the Date/Time appears to be in ISO 8601 format.
If you would prefer to have consistent format with colons you could add the following:
-d "%Y:%m:%d %T"

Yes. Never with better programs such as Lightroom. Usually in apps or simple programs.

Unfortunately,
%T doesn't work on Windows. We have to make do with
-d "%Y:%m:%d %H:%M:%S" <*angsty teenager voice*> Ughh, so much typing

Thanks - I keep forgetting there are more operating system differences in using Exiftool than just changing single and double quotes.
