# SSP_SetJpegEncoderDateTimeNow

## Syntax

    BOOL SSP_SetJpegEncoderDateTimeNow(void);

## Arguments

None.

## Return Values

Returns `TRUE` if successful.
Returns `FALSE` if it fails.

## Description

Registers the current date and time, which will be embedded in the JPEG file as the date and time the photo was taken. Internally, this function calls the `SSP_SetJpegEncoderDateTime` function after calling the `SSP_GetDateTime` function.
This function returns a non-zero value only when the `SSP_GetDateTime` function has failed.
This information is registered as the `IFD0 DateTime`, `ExifIFD DateTimeOriginal` and `DateTimeDigitized` tags.
Note: After the `SSP_StartJpegEncoder` function completes, date and time information set by this function are cleared, regardless of whether encoding succeeds or fails.
If multiple images are to be encoded, note that date and time information must be registered before each encoding.
