Photos importing on iOS Canon Connect app with wrong date

[jack_clarke]

Hi there. I’m using a Canon EOS M6 Mark II with the Canon Connect iOS app. Whenever I try and import photos onto my iPhone using the app, the photos import with the date set as the time the photos were imported, not when they were actually taken.

I’ve checked the date on the camera and everything is correct - it just seems to be an issue with the import. Has anyone else experienced this or know a way to easily fix it (without manually changing the date/time for each picture)?

Thanks in advance!

Are you looking at actual EXIF data, which is metadata that is stored inside of the file.  EXIF contains all of the exposure info and camera settings?

Yep, I’ve checked the actual EXIF data and that’s getting overwritten by the import date. All of the rest of the data (exposure, shutter speed etc) is there as it should be
