I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.
The feature
Editing a photo's timestamp is only possible at the minute level. This makes it difficult to correctly order photos taken very close to each other. Even worse, if you only wanted to change the timezone and didn't even mean to touch the timestamp, the seconds still get reset to zero.
The resulting XMP file seems to already support millisecond level precision. You might not actually need that, but still, if the original photo already has millisecond precision, it's unnecessary to change that if all you want is to set a timezone or change the day. The input window already handily selects the part of the time you click on, making it easy to change only the part that you want, so I wouldn't even mind if it included both seconds and milliseconds, at least in the browser version. Editing metadata is already not really everyday usage, so if the user goes to actually edit the metadata, restricting it seems unnecessary.
