On 11/24/19, I noticed that all videos (from Nikon cameras) in File Explorer have the wrong time stamp in the Date field. All movies (MOV and MP4) have time stamps that are roughly 7 hours earlier than photos (JPG) taken at essentially the same time. This includes movies going back to 2004, 15 years ago.
Here's an example of what I see in File Explorer:
Name Date Type
DSCN0035.JPG 6/28/2019 11:50 AM JPG File
DSCN0036.MP4 6/28/2019 4:53 AM MP4 File
DSCN0037.MP4 6/28/2019 5:04 AM MP4 File
DSCN0038.JPG 6/28/2019 12:04 PM JPG File
The DSCN numbers are in order. The MP4 files, obviously taken in between the JPG files, have dates 7 hours earlier.
The above were taken by a camera purchased in 2019. But I see the same issue with files from 2004 taken by an old camera. For example, photos and movies taken at my child's 2004 birth show the same problem: The movies, taken within minutes of the photos, have a Date value 7 hours earlier.
I've had multiple cameras over the 15 years, so it's not related to cameras. For 14 years, all movies were MOV files from various Nikon cameras. The new Nikon camera does MP4, and the date problem is affecting the MP4 files, as well.
So something happened with File Explorer, or Windows, or something, that retroactively affected the "Date" field for all movie files.
