Zoomed in photo has created date 2002:12:08 12:00:00

[Richard Huddie]

TEST CASE:
1. Load the camera and set the zoom level to maximum
2. Take a picture at maximum zoom
3. Load the gallery to view the photo

EXPECTED RESULT:
The photo should be correctly labelled under the current date

ACTUAL RESULT:
The photo has a creation date of 2002:12:08 12:00:00, so the gallery is displaying it according to this date.

I confirmed this by checking the exif data from the photo file itself:
Date/Time Original : 2002:12:08 12:00:00
Create Date : 2002:12:08 12:00:00

See attached for a view of the gallery showing this date and also the original image file containing incorrect exif data.

Thanks for your report. I confirm this behaviour

Confirmed on Nexus4. Cannot repro on grouper. The underlying issue appears to be a problem in the android components:

Here's the link to the non-duped bug. The issue was fixed in Android 4.3:

Also that above comment should be "cannot repro on maguro", not grouper.

Here is the actual fix:

    camera: updating correct exif data

    After changing zoom factor, some exif item is left out
    because of duplicated add command.

Patch sent to list since it's an Android issue.

Assuming we get this fix with the move to 4.4
