Date settings

January 9th, 2011
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhh! STUFF IT! I had to reset camera date settings when I changed batteries in my little Pentax p&s (technically it is my daughters but I take it everywhere I wouldn't like to take my big camera... eg pool, beach, shops etc)... BUT I accidentally set it to 2010!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... so please ignore any "2010" photos in my 2011 album!!!

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there any way known to change the dates on the files???

I just KNOW these photos are going to cause me grief... I file chronologically and sort by date taken.... mmmmmmm... maybe I will just have to rename all the files in that folder and sort by name instead.

I know, I know, get over it... I have an OCD compulsion about stuff like this... anal much???

If nothing else at least others can learn from my mistake! ;)

There are programs (freebies even) that will edit the EXIF data.

For the same reason as yourself I used http://www.kiwiczech.net/index.php?menu=353&sub=4

...to change my dates, as I had left my camera on Australia time, so even the dates were out of sync.
