Godfrey: The reason for changing the date/time in the PEF (or mor exactly in the sidecar .xmp) files is that whatever JPG files I produce from them now and later would have all the dates correct and I don't have to rethink it again. So far, I've been doing this in JPEG, but I have to change something in the way I converted they file I have to do it again. That's why I was thinking if it would be possible to fix it in the RAW file. I'll take a look if it would be possible to do in the DNG, although I am still not converting PEF into DNG routinely.
Bob: Yes, it would've been neat. Unfortunately, as far as I know, (anybody to correct, pls.?) EXIF doesn't have the timezone, or at least that field is not consulted when reading out the time. I believe that time is set in the EXIF in the absolute format (i.e. actual local time). Thank you both for your input!

If I remember correctly from the first post the date/time is correct, but the timezone on the camera was wrong. So the correct thing to correct (so to speak) is the time zone, if that's feasible. > -----Original Message----- > From: On Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi > Sent: 30 October 2006 18:29 > > On Oct 30, 2006, at 8:38 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > > From the silence of the rest of the people, it sounds like > > no such tool exists. > > No tool that I know of will modify Pentax PEF files to change > capture > date.
