This is not the case with your image, of course. On most cameras the Date/Time Original and Date/Time Digitized are the same. That standard outlines three date/time data points.ĭate/Time - the date and time a file was last updatedĭate/Time Original - the date and time an image was takenĭate/Time Digitized - the date and time the image was stored as digital information

The three time formats are dictated by the Exchangeable Image File format (EXIF) standard. When I look at the image you sent, the Exif shows:ĭate Time (or Taken): 2018:03:02 18:43:17ĭate Time Digitized: 2018:03:03 20:24:31 (which is the name of the file). I’ll have to look at this later when I can access the links.
