Thanks for everyone who replied. 

I thought it was a known problem. Ok, details follows.

$ jhead img_2937.jpg | grep -i date
File date    : 2010:07:12 08:13:26
Date/Time    : 2010:07:12 12:13:27

The "Date/Time" on the Exif info is pretty much accurate. It reflect when 
I took the picture. This means the problem has nothing to do with the 
camera, or changing of the battery. 

The "File date" is actually what I see from the file system:

$ ls -l img_2937.jpg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tong tong 410467 2010-07-12 08:13 img_2937.jpg

which is what I meant, wrong. The shifted time is backward -4 hours. 

Any ideas?

Thanks
