In the United States, today is the day most of us change from Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time. If you are located in a state or other country that follows this old (may I opine?—no longer needed) switch and if your camera’s clock and accurate time is something of importance to you, you may want to get out your camera(s) today and make that change.
While your camera(s) is in hand, you might also want to clean it, charge your batteries (in-camera and spares) and review all of your settings to ensure they reflect your current shooting preferences.
Just a friendly reminder. Enjoy your day!

I have fewer and fewer things I have to change. I turned off the microwave clock, my phone, computers, and watch correct themselves. Don't know what the new car does, will have to check next time I get in it.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, the camera needs to change. And it's important for a bunch of reasons, but one of them is that I use a GPS track from my phone to stamp a location into each of the outdoor pictures, and that matchup depends on the times. (Easy to correct the offset manually, but better to fix the camera clock first!)
Personally I'm not bothered by the hour shift, but I know lots of people who are, I'd be perfectly happy to go all-year standard, or all-year daylight. I really don't want a patchwork, though! It should at least be the same through a whole state. (Indiana, at least, has 2 regions of multiple counties that do not match the rest of Indiana; but they're on the west boundary, I believe they match the other areas they're adjacent to. Arizona, famously, does not observe DST. Wouldn't shock me if there were other exceptions.)
Thanks for your comment. I’m with you. I don’t care if we stay on Standard Time or Daylight Savings Time. Let’s just stop this switching twice per year. Arizona doesn’t switch but the Native American tribal lands in Arizona do. So, when you’re driving in and out and through tribal lands on public roads, your clocks go back and forth, back and forth. That happened to me last May. ~Dennis
