Additional Information

The provided JPEG files are missing the EXIF metadata property for DateTimeOriginal which are used for populating the DateTime field in the geotagged photos output feature class. This field should only contain information about when the photo is captured as stored in the photo metadata. From the tool documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/geotagged-photos-to-points.htm "If the DateTime field contains null or blank values, it may be an indication that the device did not capture a useable time stamp with the photo. Photo files may have a date created or date modified property, but these may not represent the date and time the photo was captured."
