ACF 5 uses the $_POST index of ‘acf’

if ( isset( $exif_data['date'] ) ) {
				// example: 2016:06:19 23:04:47
				$first_string = substr( $exif_data['date'], 0, 10);
				$parts = explode( ":" , $first_string );
				$date_shot = $parts[2] . ' ' . date( 'M', $parts[1] ) . ', ' . $parts[0];
				$fieldkey = 'field_576d9e9337b26';
				//update_post_meta( $post_id, 'date_shot', $date_shot );
				if ( function_exists( 'update_field' ) ){
					update_field( $fieldkey, $date_shot, $post_id );
					if ( isset( $_POST['acf'][$fieldkey] ) )
						unset($_POST['acf'][$fieldkey] );
				}
			}
