I'm not sure, as in the past I sometimes got varied results, either east or west coast USA. If none of the above tags are set, the time zone assumed by Google Photos may be set to the time zone of the computer uploading.

And previously, it would read the GPS:GPSDateStamp and GPS:GPSTimeStamp but treat them as local time rather than UTC time. There has been a change in what tags is uses to determine the date/time of the image, adding XMP-tiff:DateTime to the list. No timezone was read from the file.Įdit 2: Google Photos doesn't read the XMP GPS tags.

I then copied the MakerNotes from the D60 sample in Phil's metadata repository. So if you don't have GPS coordinates set, the easiest way to set a time zone would be to set EXIF:OffsetTimeOriginal.Įdit 1: I copied the Nikon MakerNotes from one of my Nikon D5100 pictures with Timezone set to +00:00 and then -11:00, in both cases Google Photos ignored the timezone in the MakerNotes. XMP:LocationShownGPSLatitude + XMP:LocationShownGPSLongitude XMP:LocationCreatedGPSLatitude + XMP:LocationCreatedGPSLongitude I still have to check the XMP GPS tags and MakerNotes tags, but the following tags will override any other time zone, including XMP tags which can include a time zone.
