Is there a way to batch edit photo dates in the Photos app?

I have 153 pictures that have the incorrect date on them due to the clock on my camera being incorrect (battery died and reset the clock). These pictures were all taken on the same day, I can click on a photo and see the edit info button on the menu but it goes away when i choose all the photos at once.

Choose the images and > Image > Adjust Date and Time... and shift the time of all of them by the same amount. Optionally you can also change the timezone if it is incorrect (after that you might again shift the time).

Just adding to Matti-- The "Adjust Date and Time..." function always works this way. If you choose a bunch of pictures, it will show the date and time for the first one. When you adjust that first one, then all the rest will be changed by the same amount. (I worried that you might be looking for a "shift/constant" button.)


Are you using a Mac? On an iPhone there's no Image menu-- but the Adjust button in the Info window works the same way.
