Hello.

What exactly is "Debug Capture Time"?

I verified that Debug Capture Time no longer is available via the Customize button in the Metadata panel.

Greetings all,

 

Updates for the Adobe Photography Products have been released.  The February 2024 updates contain an update for this issue. 

If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

 

Thank you for being so patient.

Also, the workaround is to use the Metadata > Edit Capture Time command to assign explicitly a capture time to such photos. That will fill in Date Time Original and avoid the inconsistency.

"why lightroom sorts photos using this field instead of Capture Date/Time?"

 

 

It's a longstanding LR bug -- LR behaves inconsistently when Date Time Original (the EXIF field where cameras record when the shutter was pressed) is blank.  The values displayed in the Metadata panel for Capture Date/Time, the values shown in the Filter bar's Date column, and the order in which photos are sorted won't match.

 

Adobe tried a couple times years ago to fix this but never got it right, and it's self-evidently not a priority for them. See this bug report:

Thanks for your replies. I can understand that Debug Time shouldn't be actually visible (used only by developers) but why lightroom sorts photos using this field instead of Capture Date/Time? 

 

If create date is different than debug create time, then it is sorted by debug create time as shown in below photo:

 

Why this behaviour?

Please help us out. What software are you talking about? Where in that software do you see this "Debug Capture Time"? Can you provide a screen capture? Please use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply. Do not attach files.

Sorry.

I posted in Lightroom Classic so I thought it is clear. But let me explain:

- App: Lightroom Classic

- Metadata Panel

- Camera Info
