In the top part of the dialog, select the 3rd option under "Use" and change the drop-down menu immediately to its right to "EXIF:Date taken".

Then, in the bottom part of the dialog, check the two File options.

This will only work if your file actually has EXIF:Date Taken information in it. If it doesn't, you could try using EXIF:Date Digitized.
