Way to get 'Date taken' to appear in 12-hour format with lower case am/pm?

[Gummo]

I'm giving MP a go after many years with Classic. Is there any way to get 'Date taken' to appear in 12-hour format with lower case am/pm?

I suspected the reason why 'Date modified' appears as 12-hour was that it comes from the Windows time format I use. And, that the 'Date taken' format was controlled by the EXIF format - until I inserted 'Date taken' onto the status bar where it appears now in 12-hr format.

Help, please!
