I have Windows 7 and am in the process of altering some pictures I took Thurs/Fri 6/24-25.
Please note the attachment....when I put the cursor on a picture I've just altered - at approx 3:30 a.m. 6/26 - it reads: Date taken: 1/31/2001 1:31 a.m.

Good grief, Charlie Brown - I didn't even have this camera in 2001, plus the sun would NOT be shining at 1:31 a.m.

Any suggestions??

thanx

ps - May I please go back to bed now? Maybe this is just a bad dream, suppose?

NEB, I suspect that the date/time setting on your camera needs to be set to reflect the correct current info.

Now you can go back to bed in peace.

thanx, Ceece, but that isn't the problem...my camera is indeed showing the correct date/time
anyone else care to chime in??

Was the date correctly set when you took the picture? Or did you set it afterwards?

Has this camera properly given the date on your prior computer?

the "wrong" date question pertains to pics that I've altered ONLY - not the original pics.
See attachments, please - one shows the CORRECT date/time - yesterday - the other shows that goofy date/time

What do you use for editing software? I don't know much... but it would seem that the problem lies with your editing software. Perhaps there is a setting in the preferences?

Could it be that the date is set when altered? If so is your computer time/date set correctly? Just guessing.
