Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

The discrepancy you're seeing between the timestamp of JPEG images and .MOV video files when transferring from your camera to your computer can be due to how different file types store metadata, including time information, and how your computer interprets that metadata. Additionally, the issue with the .MOV files having a timestamp four hours earlier than the actual time might be related to time zone differences or how the camera and computer handle daylight saving time adjustments.

Here are some steps and considerations to help you correct or manage the timestamp issue for your video files on Windows 11:

Check Time Zone and Daylight Saving Settings

• Ensure that both your camera and computer are set to the correct time zone and configured properly for daylight saving time. Even though you mentioned they are set correctly, it's good to double-check, especially the daylight saving settings if applicable.
  

Use Dedicated Software for File Transfer

• Instead of directly copying the files from the camera or the memory card, use dedicated photo and video management software. Many camera manufacturers offer their own software designed to handle file transfers while preserving the correct metadata. This software might better interpret the timestamp data embedded in your video files.
  

Automate Time Adjustment

• For a more automated approach to correcting the timestamp for a large number of files, you can use scripting or command-line tools. For instance, ExifTool is a powerful tool that can manipulate metadata, including date and time stamps, in various file types. You can use it to adjust the timestamps of your .MOV files based on your needs. Here is a basic example of how to adjust the timestamp:
  
  
  This command adjusts the date and time metadata by adding 4 hours to the original timestamp. You would need to adjust the command parameters based on the specific time adjustment you need to make.
  

Consider File System Behavior

• Be aware that when you move or copy files, Windows might use the current date and time for the "Created" timestamp but preserve the "Modified" timestamp. If you're looking at the "Created" timestamp in your folder, it might not reflect the original creation date of the video. You can view all timestamps (Created, Modified, Accessed) by right-clicking the file, selecting "Properties," and looking under the "Details" tab.
  

Update Camera Firmware

• Check if there are any firmware updates available for your camera. Sometimes, issues related to file metadata and compatibility with operating systems can be resolved through firmware updates.
  

Please feel free to let me know how it goes.

video download time stamp

When I download JPEGs from my camera to my computer the file's timestamp in the folder is correct, but when I download a video (.MOV file), the time stamp in the folder is always four hours earlier than the actual time. The computer and camera's date / time settings are both correct.

Thanks in advance for any insights on how to correct the folder's time stamp.

 

N96 - Inbox Time Stamps

Hi there,

I got the N96 16gb a few days ago, and one major problem that i've got with it is that i can't get it to show ANY time stamps on messages. This is quite a big thing for me, especially if my phone's charging and i recieve a message during that time. Can anyone
help or suggest any ways to show the timestamp? (If it's even possible.)

Thanks,

Mark.
