Thanks, all. Moose, I actually have an old version of EXIFTool and GUI
I'd forgotten about, and could refresh that. However, friends on
another list posed the question, "Why bother?" And I thought, "Why
indeed?" I'm perfectly capable of adding 9 hours mentally if I really
must know when the picture was taken. So maybe I won't bother. :-)
Phillipe, thanks for the LR advice offer, but I use Capture One.

On my recent trip to Spain, I neglected to change the date and time on
my camera's clock. So all the EXIF data is nine hours earlier than it
should be. Is there a reliable utility that can batch-edit the EXIF
data in the Olympus Raw files (.ORF) and correct them to when they
oughta be? I want to be able to tell the program, "Take all files in
this folder and advance the time in the EXIF by 9 hours, so both the
date and time will be correct.

<http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/> Nothing else comes
close.
It is command line only, which is actually good for batch work, at
least on PCs. (I know nothing about batching on Macs.) I have a text
file of batch commands I use for that, copy and paste into a command
window, but apparently not on this traveling computer.
Many, many other apps with GUIs use EXIFTOOL underneath, certainly
including FastStone.EXIFTOOLGUI has been a very useful tool, but is no
longer supported, so if the file format you are working on is
supported by the last version of EXIFTOOL under it, it still works,
otherwise, not.
Toss a couple of files in a subdirectory, make up a command line and
try it out 'til you get it right. It will then do it all for you.
