How to put creation date from file into the EXIF photo or scanner datetime tag?

adenisov

ok, I managed to modify creation date from EXIF:
exiftool "-CreateDate<filemodifydate" "-modifydate<<filemodifydate" "-datetimedigitized<filemodifydate" -P testphoto.jpg

but I can't change Modify Date, which is, i think, got from TIFF tag:
Software                        : MP Navigator EX 4.0
Modify Date                     : 2016:02:14 12:13:38
Y Cb Cr Positioning             : Centered
Exif Version                    : 0221
Create Date                     : 1921:03:01 15:37:47
Components Configuration        : Y, Cb, Cr, -

Try changing "<<" to "<" in your command and this should work.
