Title: creation date - modify date don't match
Post by: juliuszombie on June 17, 2020, 12:31:47 PM
Hello,

When analyzing a video from from an iPhone 8, I see this gap in time.  Can I get an explanation as to why this might happen when using ExifTool to analyze?

Media Modify Date : 2020:01:08 22:25:16
Creation Date :        2020:01:08 17:22:11-05:00

I can't explain difference in the minutes/seconds, that would be something to do with the camera.  But the difference in hours is equal to the time zone.  See the fourth paragraph on the Quicktime Tags page (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html)
   According to the specification, integer-format QuickTime date/time tags should be stored as UTC.
