Description
The camera clock was never set, so an entire trip's photos are eight hours off and sort into nonsense the moment they hit your library. Hunting for a fix, you find plenty of tools that display EXIF, few that write it, and fewer still that will do a hundred files at once. Exif Pilot does exactly that job: pick a folder on the left, see focal length, shutter, aperture and flash for every shot in the middle, and edit the selection in place.
It is honest about formats. JPEG is read and write; PNG, TIFF, DNG and the rest are read-only, so you never think an edit landed when it did not. Alongside EXIF, GPS coordinates and IPTC fields live in the same dialog, which is how a photo taken without a location module still ends up with one.
Folder tree and a parameter table: browse directories on the left while the middle pane lays FileName, FocalLength, ExposureTime, Aperture and Flash out as columns — the whole folder's settings compared at a glance.
Tabbed edit dialog: EXIF, EXIF GPS, IPTC, Keywords and Add New Tags, covering camera model, manufacturer, artist, copyright, image description and comment, each field with a revert button beside it.
Three timestamps, separately: Date Time, Date Time Original and Date Time Digitized are independent, so a wrong camera clock can be shifted back across a batch and the library sorts correctly again.
Add GPS coordinates: write latitude and longitude into shots from a camera with no GPS, and map-aware viewers place them afterwards.
Custom tags: Add New Tags writes EXIF and IPTC fields beyond the standard set for a pipeline or catalogue that expects them.
Field descriptions on the side: selecting any tag explains what it actually records, so you are not guessing what ExposureProgram means.
