Time duplicated in ExifTool outpug

Hello,

for images which were taken with a Sony DSC-H9 I get the following output for the creation date:

"Date/Time Created: 2008:07:12 15:00:43+02:00 15:00:43+02:00"

The time is duplicated e.g. with the parameters: "-all" and "-time:all". If I use "-exif:all", "-xmp:all" or "-iptc:all" the output is ok.

I've tested the same with images from a Canon photo, and there all was normal. Is this a bug in ExifTool or a bug in the Sony firmware? If you need a sample image please let me know it.

Regards
Heiko

Thanks for pointing out this problem.  DateTimeCreated is a
composite tag which joins DateCreated and TimeCreated, but
in your case the XMP:DateCreated already contains a time
(which is valid according to the spec), so the time appears twice.
I will add a check in the code to avoid this problem for the
next release.
