Set your camera clocks !!

Postby gpsmikey » Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:34 am

For those of us that are affected, effected and aflicted (you know which one applies to you) :lol: don't forget to set your camera clocks ahead if Daylight Savings Time applies to you :-)

Good advice, thanks! How about my car radio - how do I do that again?

Yeah, I had to set the cordless phones too -- fortunately, ours are able to set themselves from the caller ID info if that is enabled (which it is). Simple solution - call home from my cell phone - hey presto, all the cordless phones are right. I learned the hard way some years back about not getting the cameras set correctly - I rename all images from the cameras based on whose camera it was and the date/time it was taken. This allows the images to all sort into chronological order in the folders they live in. Worked great until we were at the zoo and shot a bunch of images with two different cameras. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why things were so far out of order until I realized I had set one to DST and the other to Standard time so they were an hour out of sync. After renaming the images correctly, I was careful not to make that mistake again. Pain is a wonderful teacher :-)

Love that we don't have to worry about it in AZ

I forgot all about it so I checked my camera and it automatically switches for daylight saving time. Nikon D5000.
