What Is EXIF Data in Digital Photos?

Seems finally my chance to ask about this.

My bike cameras, Cycliq (https://cycliq.com) when I view the clips on a file system have the right date/time "Get info" on macOS, but when imported in to Apple Photos are 10 hours in the past and I need to manually correct it. It seems like they're importing as the time, but UTC+0 (I'm in +10)

I've never had this problem importing photos/videos before.

What's going wrong here?

Exif does not store time zone information [1] and it would be up to the capture device to include any offsets directly in the date/time stored.

Phones can do this because they have gps and know which time zone the photo was taken. Your bike camera may not.

That’s one of the things I do when I import photos into Lightroom as I frequently forget to change the camera time zone.
