I have a directory tree containing thousands of photos, some taken on my camera, some on my wife's camera, and some obtained from other people. Also there are edited versions of some of the photos. Now I want to correct the time on all the photos taken on my wife's camera, which turns out to have its clock set 1 hour 10 minutes and 54 seconds fast, partly because it's set to BST (my camera is set to GMT to tie up with my GPS logger), and partly (presumably) because its clock has gained 10 minutes in the last 5 years. So what I want to do is to search the whole directory tree (several directory levels deep) for JPG files starting with the characters DSC (this distinguishes photos taken on my wife's camera from those taken on my or other cameras), and to subtract from the EXIF taken time 1 hour 10 minutes and 54 seconds. Ideally I would like to rename the files at the same time (e.g. to change the DSC to DSD) to indicate that the timestamp has been corrected. Can I do this with Exifer? If not, is there an application that I can do this with? Thanks - Rowan Exifer doesn’t quite seem to do what I want.

Since I wrote this in English, the article, if not the information itself, is for the benefit of expats. Valid point, but I’m sure this information is available in Chinese all over the web.

As you all know, when the day of the Olympics came, they shutdown all their factories just to make the air more breathable. That's the only drawback other than that the place is great!
