How to change EXIF Info
My first batch of photos taken with the D70 are absolutely fantastic. But unfortunately the first 58 I took (DSC0001 to DSC0058) had the wrong date attached. I noticed this in the humid afternoon of July 2 whilst in Hann. Münden, while I was fiddling with the controls of the camera. June 29 was the date I took my first photo; July 29 was the date set in the camera. The reason was that on setting the camera for the first time I screwed up on the date (time was OK). Thus all photos taken had the wrong date imprinted in the EXIF data. For an archiving freak like me, this was not nice.
I was certain that there must be a simple way to change the data. I found a nifty tool called PhotoToolCM from Pixture studio (it is actually a contextual menu plug-in) that can modify the EXIF data (it can do much more than that). The following changes were made in the EXIF Info using the PhotoToolCM:
July 29 -> June 29 (DSC_0001 to DSC_0006)
July 30 -> June 30 (DSC_0007 to DSC_0037)
July 31 -> July 1 (DSC_0038 to DSC_0045)
August 1 -> July 2 (DSC_0046 to DSC_0058)
So now all the photos from DSC_0059 onwards have the correct date. Whew!
