Subject: [PATCH] Use -api QuickTimeUTC by default

According to the EXIF and QuickTime standard, photos should be stored in local time while videos should be stored in UTC time. Since many cameras don't respect this standard, exiftool ignores it by default. However, by adding -api QuickTimeUTC to the exiftool command, the dates are handled appropriately.
