Photo time being changed

While in Europe, I took lots of photos,. But when I got back to New Zealand, all of the photos 'time taken' shifted forward by 12 hours. By looking at the screenshot, you can see the file name says the photo was taken at 12.57pm, on 27th October. But the time and date above it says it was taken at 12.57am on 28th.

Is there a way to automatically fix this for the hundreds of photos I've taken?

Because the metadata is incorrect, the automatic albums created by the Galleries app end abruptly in the middle of the day, instead of between days. Also, when I move these photos to the PC and add in the photos taken on my DSLR, they're not ordered correctly because they're 12 hours ahead.

@Conor91 You would probably need to use a 3rd party tool to change the EXIF date info. 

BTW you have landed in the user to user discussion group for Samsung US products and services. To find the discussion group for your geographical area, visit https://www.samsung.com/us/common/visitlocationsite/

You can mass edit date and time. Long press a photo, then select all the photos you want to change to a particular date (if you don't want them all to say the same time, you will have to go back and adjust the time individually.), tap the dot menu saying 'more', at the bottom right. Select edit date and time. I also watermark the date on the photo in the camera settings. That will not help with making automatic albums, but will let you know the actual date and time.
