EXIF Time Stamp in PS CC

For some unknown reason Photoshop CC 2015 displays an incorrect time on my raw files. At first I thought this was just a problem with files from my new Nikon D7200, but I just confirmed it with an old image from a long-departed Nikon D200.

Example: the Cactus Wren I just posted in the weekly challenge (a day late, I just discovered!) was taken at 9:20:06 am on 12/4/2008, as shown in a number of apps on my Mac. But in PS CC File Info it shows at 2:20:06 am.

When I fist saw this with the new D7200 I thought, first, that I'd set the camera time incorrectly, then I thought the closk was defective.

Anybody else notice this happening with their camera raw files? Is there some magic setting in PS CC I haven't uncovered?

For the record: Phoenix, AZ is on Mountain Standard Time every day of the year, making everyone else in the country wonder why the time difference "shifts" every time they toggle Daylight Saving Time on or off.

It may be that PS is accessing a side car file and not the EXIF. Have a look at preferences.
