Photos 1.5 - Smart Albums Not Showing Photos Taken On Certain Date

I'm using Photos 1.5 on OS X El Capitan.


I've made a Smart Album with ONE rule in it:


Match the following condition:

Date is 02/09/2017


But there's a problem. The Smart Album shows SOME photos taken on 02/09/2017 but not ALL of them. It's showing 31 photos when in fact there are 36 photos in my library taken on that date.


Any idea what's going on?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) 12GB RAM

If the photos are just in the albums with one day off, correct the timezone for the date and time.

You can see the timezone, that Photos is using for a photo, if you open the command "Image > Adjust Date and time". At the bottom of the panel you will see the "closest city", The timezone for this city is used to interpret the date and time you are seeing in the Info panel. Photos may be using different time zones for photos from from the same camera, if you import the photos while being in different time zones.

See: How Photos Handles Time Zones when Importing Photos


For example, the photo has been taken in Ireland, but Photos is using the timezone of Iceland, to interpret the date and time.
