When was this photo taken,
and with which camera?
Every photo in a batch shows the same upload date, so it isn’t clear which ones come from which shoot, or which camera took them.
By the end, you can read a photo’s camera and capture time from its file details, and filter the library by the date stored in the file.
Before you start
- A photo in your workspace that still has its camera details in the file.
Watch the walkthrough
Here's how to see when a photo was taken, and with which camera.
These two Lumen Bay shots were both uploaded today. The client wants the ones from this week's shoot. Open the first.
Uploaded: Today is when the file reached YetOnePro. It isn't when the photo was taken.
Under Camera settings you'll find the aperture, focal length, exposure and ISO, and Camera: the make and model. Here, a Sony.
For the date, go to the EXIF tab and search for original. Date Time Original is the capture time the camera wrote into the file: October 25th, at 10:14.
Search for lens to see which lens was used.
The second shot says August 27th, so it's from an earlier shoot.
This data comes from the file. It can be missing, or changed by editing software, so treat it as a guide, not as proof.
To find this week's photos across the library, go to Assets. Under Date, switch to Created, and pick Last 7 days.
Created uses the date stored in the file, not the upload date. Only the Sony shot is left.
In short: Camera settings on the Info tab names the camera. Date Time Original on the EXIF tab says when the photo was taken.
Search across all videos and guides.
The upload date isn’t the shoot date.
A camera writes details into each photo it takes: when, with which camera and lens, and at which settings. YetOnePro shows those details next to the photo, and can filter the library by the date stored in the file.
Open a photo in your workspace to follow along.
- 01
Start from two photos uploaded today
These two Lumen Bay shots were both uploaded today, and the client wants the ones from this week’s shoot. Open the first one.
- 02
Don’t go by Uploaded
On the Info tab, Uploaded: Today is when the file reached YetOnePro. It isn’t when the photo was taken.
- 03
Read Camera settings
Under Camera settings you’ll find the aperture, focal length, exposure and ISO, and Camera: the make and model. Here, “SONY ILCE-7M4”.
- 04
Find Date/Time Original
Go to the EXIF tab and type “original” into Search metadata.... Date/Time Original is the capture time the camera wrote into the file: here, 2026:10:25 10:14:00.
- 05
See which lens was used
Search for “lens” instead. Lens Model names the lens, here “FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II”.
- 06
Compare the second photo
The second shot’s Date/Time Original says August 27th, so it’s from an earlier shoot.
This data comes from the file. It can be missing, or changed by editing software, so treat it as a guide, not as proof.

Filter the library by Created
To find this week’s photos across the library, go to Assets. Under Date, switch to Created and pick Last 7 days. The filter reads “Created: Last 7 days”.
Created uses the date stored in the file, not the upload date, so only the Sony shot is left.
In short: Camera settings on the Info tab names the camera, and Date/Time Original on the EXIF tab says when the photo was taken.
Check the result
- You told Uploaded (when the file reached YetOnePro) apart from the capture time.
- You read Camera under Camera settings on the Info tab.
- You read Date/Time Original on the EXIF tab.
- To find photos by capture date, you used Date › Created in Assets.
If it didn’t work
A photo doesn’t show up in a Created range.
Created uses the date stored in the file. A file without that date has no Created value, so it drops out of any Created range. Use Uploaded for those files instead.
Can I filter or sort the library by camera?
No. Read the camera on each photo’s Info tab. Search metadata on the EXIF tab searches one file’s details only.
Is Date/Time Original proof of when the photo was taken?
No. The data comes from the file. It can be missing, or changed by editing software, so treat it as a guide.
