Hello All,
I forgot to switch off Daylight Savings option in my camera.
As a result of it I have a lot of pictures with wrong time in it.
Here is a example:
ExifTool Version Number : 9.45
.
Date/Time Original : 2013:12:25 23:11:38
Create Date : 2013:12:25 23:11:38
.
Daylight Savings : Yes
.
Create Date : 2013:12:25 23:11:38.80
Date/Time Original : 2013:12:25 23:11:38.80
Modify Date : 2013:12:25 23:11:38.80
Here is what i expect:
ExifTool Version Number : 9.45
.
Date/Time Original : 2013:12:25 22:11:38
Create Date : 2013:12:25 22:11:38
.
Daylight Savings : No
.
Create Date : 2013:12:25 22:11:38.80
Date/Time Original : 2013:12:25 22:11:38.80
Modify Date : 2013:12:25 22:11:38.80
Is there any simple way to adjust all above tags in batch of files using exiftool.exe tool?
Thanks in advance for any help :)

Hi Arnold,
The basic command to move back the common date/time values by one hour is:
exiftool -alldates-=1 DIR
where DIR is the name of the directory containing the images. AllDates is a Shortcut tag (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Shortcuts.html) representing the common EXIF date/time tags.
I just discovered today that I had this exact same problem with one of my cameras, and this is the command that I used to fix the images:
exiftool -alldates-=1 -filemodifydate-=1 -ext jpg -if '$model=~/K-5/ and $datetimeoriginal ge "2013:11:04"' -overwrite_original -r /Users/phil/Pictures
(note that I am on a Mac, so I used single quotes. Windows users should swap the single for double quotes, and visa versa.)
Read up in the application documentation (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html) if you are wondering what any of these options are for.

Hi Phil,
Thanks a lot for your help and quick respond.
With this documentation in html it will be much easier
to work out meaning of all those option than looking for it in a cmd window ;)
Thanks a lot and Happy New Year :)
PS. Your software is awesome ;D
