parse return wrong date

[ehudg]

Hi, I'm using the following code:

       `var originImage = await s3.getObject(params).promise();       
      
        var buffer = await sharp(originImage.Body).withMetadata().toBuffer(); 
                    
        var parser = require('exif-parser').create(buffer);

        var exifData = await  metaDataService.Convert(parser.parse());`

All the data is fine, expect for the dates. I'm getting the following:

ModifyDate: 1595773338,
DateTimeOriginal: 1595168559,
CreateDate: 1595168559,

All these and translated to dates from 1970 (!).

But the image creation date is 19/07/2020 14:22.

What might be the problem?

Thanks

They seem to be without the millisecond part, so you need to multiply it by 1000 to get the correct date:

> new Date(1595168559)
> Mon Jan 19 1970 11:06:08

> new Date(1595168559 * 1000)
> Sun Jul 19 2020 14:22:39

If you need the milliseconds part, they can be found in the SubsecTimeOriginal (and similar) EXIF-fields.

It’s not that there are no seconds. The time obtained here is the date and time in the form of Unix timestamp. If you need to obtain the normal time, you need to multiply it by 1000.
