IPTC Time Stamp Question ???

Just curious.....
When I first enter the Date/Time Taken in the appropriate IPTC field, it shows the time, and only the time, in military fashion, such as 194338 (7:43 and 38 seconds PM).

However, when I look at the information later, all of my times will read the time and +0000.

What is the deal with this +0000?

I never see one with +1342 or -0894; if I did, I wouldn't have any idea what it meant.

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

+0000 is the UTC time zone offset. See https://en.wikipedia.o​rg/wiki/ISO_8601

Thanks; I thought it might have something to do with that.

Thanks for providing the link; it makes for some interesting reading.

Myself, and the times I enter, are actually in the American Central time zone, UTC -06:00, S, according to the chart.

And, I am assuming what I always called Greenwich Mean Time, UTC, remains constant and is not plagued by the silly concept of Daylight Savings Time -- or is it ?

So, in summer DST (which the powers that be have extended from February to November), I am actually UTC -05:00 (I think).

That being said, am I right in thinking that the +0000 is incorrect for my US Central timestamps and should read -0600 winter and -0500 summer?

I don't know how to correct this; the cameras are set for the correct time in my zone and I have the IPTC template set to enter EXIF Date/Time Taken; I am not seeing any option to enter my offset, nor an option to not include the +0000.

I am using the IPTC Editor in XnView MP
