The camera was without battery for a while so all dates are 2012...
How to change them all to present date/time?

StarGeek

Try
exiftool -AllDates=now /path/to/files/
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

Great! Thank you!
Only warnings like this but didn't affect the result.
Warning: [minor] Maker notes could not be parsed

That means that for whatever reason, exiftool couldn't read the data in the maker notes.  It really won't affect the image or other data in the file.  See the end of FAQ #15.
