Old EXIF dates
Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2018 7:23 pm
Is there any limit what the oldest EXIF date can be?
I just noticed that Google Photos does not display dates older than 1902 correctly. For example, date and time:
01.01.1901 08:00:00 is displayed as 06.12.1969 21:09:00.
01.01.1902 08:00:00 is displayed correctly.
So with old images I have to tell the users the correct date in the Caption.
(For some reason my old OS X 10.11.6 and GC 10.6.6 do not handle pre-1921 EXIF dates correctly so I have used exiftool from the command line with such files.)
