Say for example that your camera clock was reset to 2000:01:01 00:00:00 when you put in a new battery at 2005:11:03 10:48:00. Then all of the pictures you took subsequently have timestamps that are wrong by 5 years, 10 months, 2 days, 10 hours and 48 minutes.

exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal+=5:10:2 10:48:0" DIR
exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal-=18:00:0 00:00:0" DIR
exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal-=17:11:15 00:00:0" DIR

Change date

Set DateTimeOriginal to Any Arbitrary Timestamp YYYY:mm:dd HH:MM:SS[.ss][+/-HH:MM|Z])

exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal=2008:12:25 12:00:00" 20170103_180336.jpg
# update CreateDate with content from DateTimeOriginal
exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal>CreateDate" 20170103_180336.jpg
exiftool -AllDates 20170103_180336.jpg
