Description
"ExifIFD:DateTimeOriginal" is used as the taken time. This tag is in local time. However, Nextcloud handles the date-time information as if it were in UTC. So 13:07:44 is displayed instead of 11:07:44.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the viewer handles ExifIFD:DateTimeOriginal when displaying image metadata, using the attached images to reproduce the timezone shift. Confirm that the local capture time is being interpreted as UTC, then verify the displayed taken time against the EXIF value and expected local time.
