I am handling photos with Delphi 7.
Using TSearchRec I get the timestamp of a downloaded photo picture file. The
timestamp, however is the date and time of the downloading from the camera,
which is of course of no interest.
How do I get the date of photgraphing the photo? I see it in Explorer, but
how do I get it into Delphi?

Well, you're code is not handling photo's, it is handling files. First
question you ought to ask yourself, is, what is the file format?

From your description of the source of these files, this could be
a) jpeg, with exif data
b) tiff, with exif data
c) dng
d) a proprietary camera raw format

The solution you need, depends on the answer to that question.

What you probably refer to is the EXIF date, the date that the photo was
exactly "snapped". Check out this site, it provides source code to do that:
