| · | Usually, all 3 EXIF date fields are identical, and the difference only applies to older cameras.
|
|
|
| · | During Image Annotation and Database Cleanup, CreationDate and DateTimePhoto are set to equal, if one of the values is empty. That is why you cannot edit this field in the EXIF editor. Even in EXIF Batch Conversion you can only change the fields DateTimeFile and DateTimeDigitized.
|
|
|
| · | In Windows it is possible, that the ModificationDate of a file is jounger than the CreationDate. This can happen, if you move a file to another disk. For Windows, this file is "newly created" on the disk.
