Photos Being Saved at Incorrect Time

Noticed recently that a lot of the photos I take don't appear on my gallery/Google Photos.

I've done a bit of digging, and its seems often photos are saved as AM rather than PM. For example, on Friday I took 3 photos at 5.10pm. 2 are saved correctly, the third is saved at 5.10am. The location data is also missing, which makes finding the photo in Google Photos even harder.

It's about 10% of my photos which have this issue. I use the stock Camera App.

Any ideas?

Are they saving to Internal Storage or an SD? If the latter, then does it also happen on Internal Storage?

Hmm... I wonder if you geotag pics, does it take the timestamp data from your GPS data as well? Sometimes it takes several seconds or more to get a GPS fix once you unlock the phone. I really have no idea if that's it, I'm just spitballing. But if all of your photos that are mis-stamped are also missing location data, it's somewhere down that path.

Bit of a build on this. There's some pics which I take which I can't find at all now. Took a couple of pics on my bike ride last night, 100% sure the shutter went. Now not in my camera roll, or google photos. think they exist somewhere but not a clue where to find them.
