The dates are incorrect on many photos in Photos. For example, pictures that were taken in the summer, swimming in a lake, when I press Get Info, say that the photo was taken in December. What can I do to correct the dates?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3
Hi
Photos gets the dates from the exif data in the file which is put there by the camera (unless these are scanned images (or other images not directly from a camera), in which case it will normally be the scan date/time or the import date/time.
It sounds like the date/time was not set correctly in the camera. If you have a lot of pictures with the same amount of incorrectness (for example - if the date was wrong by 6 months for all of them, you can select all the images, correct the date/time for one of them, and all will be adjusted by the same amount. (rather than being set to exactly the same time/date). So in this example, all the selected images would be shifted by 6 months, but the number of days/hours/minutes between each photo would stay the same.
