Write exif.DateOriginal and exif.TimeOriginal

[jathri]

Images received via WA miss exif metadata. So I would like to write exif.DateOriginal and exif.TimeOriginal (in its natural formats) to all images in specified folder where there is no such metadata available. This data should be taken from date last modified (Windows file system metadata). Can this be done using ExifTool (e.g. using Windows CMD)? Note: Autohotkey solution is also acceptable.

The command you want me be:

exiftool "-datetimeoriginal<filemodifydate" DIR

Assuming you mean What's App, then see this post to add EXIF data based upon the filename.  That's assuming What's App filenames are still IMG-YEARMONTHDATE-WA####.jpg

@StarGeek: Thank you. It is good to know.
