• In the Metadata panel with EXIF information displayed, click the arrow in the Date Time field.
2 In the Edit Capture Time dialog box, select the type of adjustment:
Adjust To A Specified Date And Time Changes the capture time to the date and time you specify.
Shift By Set Number Of Hours (Time Zone Adjust) Changes the capture time by the number of hours you add to or
subtract from the original time.
Change To File Creation Date For Each Image Changes the capture time in the camera EXIF data to the file creation
date. If you select this option, skip step 3.
3 In the New Time area of the dialog box, do one of the following:
• If you selected Adjust To A Specified Date And Time, type a new date and time in the Corrected Time text box.
You can also select the date and time values and then use the Up or Down Arrow buttons to increase or decrease
the values.
• If you selected Shift By Set Number Of Hours, choose a value from the pop-up menu to adjust the time forward
or back.
Note: If more than one photo is selected in the Grid view, Lightroom changes the capture time for the active photo by
the specified adjustment. (The active photo is previewed in the Edit Capture Time dialog box.) Other photos in the
selection are adjusted by the same amount of time. If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe,
Compare, or Survey view, the capture time is changed only on the active photo.
4 (Optional) To revert the capture time back to the original, select the photos in the Grid view or the Filmstrip and
choose Metadata > Revert Capture Time To Original.
