Bulk Rename Utility How-To's

Updating photos 'time taken' or 'date taken' by timezone

Hello,

I have seen a couple of questions similar to this one. But I am at a loss to determine if this utility can do what I hope for.

I forgot to change my camera time/date when going on an east coast US trip from the UK. This means all my photos (almost all in RAW format .orf) are 5 hours after the real time.

I don't need to specifically rename the files - all are imported fine. But the Date taken (or Time taken) is forward by 5 hours and sometimes shows the next day (i.e. after midnight!). I file these all in day folders hence my question.

So can BRU update the file times or date taken fields either in EXIF (which by the way does not show up with my RAW files anyway) or Windows Date taken, to pull them back by e.g. 5 hours? Or a tag for Eastern Daylight time to Greenwich Meantime even?

Hopeful - but not certain this is the right place!!
Thanks for any suggestions though. :lol:
