P: Wrong folder names organizing by date when using camera USB

[LRuser24]

When importing from a camera connected to USB (at least for a Canon EOS 40D Firmware 1.1.1 in my case), lightroom generates wrong folder names when organizing folders by date, at least for the "2011/2011-07-22" format (I guess it's the same for the other formats). 

I use Lightroom 3.4.1 on Windows XP 32 Bit SP 3 and my time zone is CET+DST (Paris, Berlin). I shot six photos an hour apart around midnight CET+DST from 21:30 on Thursday to 02:30 on friday (I changed the camera's time for that) and got the following folder/file structure using a USB connection to the camera: 

2011\2011-07-21\20110721-213022-IMG_0314.CR2 
2011\2011-07-22\20110721-223033-IMG_0315.CR2 <<< wrong folder 
2011\2011-07-22\20110721-233041-IMG_0316.CR2 <<< wrong folder 
2011\2011-07-22\20110722-003049-IMG_0317.CR2 
2011\2011-07-22\20110722-013055-IMG_0318.CR2 
2011\2011-07-22\20110722-023102-IMG_0319.CR2 

Clearly, the two marked files are in the wrong folder. Note that the file naming itself (date and time) is absolutely correct! 

When I import the same six photos using a card reader from the CF card, I get the correct structure: 

2011\2011-07-21\20110721-213022-IMG_0314.CR2 
2011\2011-07-21\20110721-223033-IMG_0315.CR2 <<< now correct folder 
2011\2011-07-21\20110721-233041-IMG_0316.CR2 <<< now correct folder 
2011\2011-07-22\20110722-003049-IMG_0317.CR2 
2011\2011-07-22\20110722-013055-IMG_0318.CR2 
2011\2011-07-22\20110722-023102-IMG_0319.CR2 

This seems to be some "time zone / daylight savings time bug" affecting all photos made from two hours before midnight until just before midnight (my local time is UTC plus two hours) - but why only for camera USB and not for card reader? I didn't test it for a date that has no DST, but I would bet that it would affect photos from *one* hour before midnight, then. 

P.S. The wrong folder structure also already shows in the folder preview in the import dialog. Here is the wrong structure using USB to camera:

...and the correct one using a card reader:

Same problem occurs when importing from iPhone via USB.

The same problem occurs if you import the photos from an iPhone via something like WiFi transfer to a local drive and then import them into light room. the rename functions and gives the correct date in the file name but the files are put in the wrong folder.

Bonjour !

Je souhaite renommer mes photos en mentionnant l'heure de capture. Malheureusement, il y a un décalage de deux heures qui s'affiche sur mes noms de fichiers...

Lightroom m'indique pourtant la bonne heure de capture dans les métadonnées, et mon ordinateur ainsi que mon appareil photo (Nikon D4) sont également à jour. Comment expliquer et résoudre ce problème de décalage horaire s'il vous plaît ?

J'utilise Lightroom Classic sous la version 9.4, sur un mac OS version 10.13.6.

Bonne soirée.

1. Are you renaming the photos during Import or after they are imported?

2. What time zone are you in?

[Camille242226466uhs]

Hello,

1. I set my Lightroom so that it would rename automatically the photos as I am taking them. So during import.

2. I live in France, my time zone is UTC+2.

I think you're tripping over a very old bug that Adobe is unlikely to ever fix.  

1. Are you importing via a USB cable?  If so, use a card reader instead. 

2. When importing from a card reader, use the Files section rather than the Devices section:

When importing with a USB cable or via the Devices section of a card reader, LR will often/usually get the time zone wrong.
