If you need to. Daylight savings time has happened. Has your camera been notified?

(Thanks, hajeka, for pointing it out. Hope you don't mind that I made it a little more clear. I almost didn't check the old thread -- DST wasn't obvious at first... :)

Was about to post that I couldn't figure out how to change the time on my camera, but then I found that my camera was smarter than me and had already taken care of it.

The change almost caused me to miss getting a shot of the eclipse this morning. I worked out fine though, because I arrived at my chosen location about a minute before the sun broke out over the clouds on the horizon.
Yay, we got our hour back that the government took away.

For the Canon owners who are using "EOS utility", there's somewhere a preference setting that can warn you about that.

As for me, I'm just happy rollover is at 6:00 AM again and not at 5:00 AM.

Well, I don't know about the cameras but, I have a couple of alarm clocks that change automatically. Trouble is,someone decided to change the schedule a week on each end causing me to have to correct the clocks four times rather than the normal two. So much for auto-set.

Thanks for the reminder and yay, I love sleeping in another hour!!! I think my camera has already changed itself.

Oblivious as usual, I got up at the usual time and was on the road looking for photography subjects.
Wondering why - yes I knew it was Sunday - the roads were so empty and my city's visitors were not in evidence.
I had it all to myself for one whole hour.
Serendipity.

Then some folks from New Jersey, seeing the cameras hanging from me, wanted their picture taken and the day began.

Okay......how come one of my D600s is smarter than me and the other is not?

Or did I forget to change it six months ago?

I changed the time on my camera before going to bed at 11:30pm last night. By then the time was reading 00:30 and I changed it back to 23:30. All well and good. Then I thought about it some more and noticed that (of course) the date had also changed "prematurely" to today's date, 11/04/13. Whew! Being a day off might really have caused me some problems. !

Don't forget to change the time on your camera's! It's spring ahead so add an hour to all your clocks that don't do it automatically.

I too would like to sleep in another hour. But if you have anywhere to go I would recommend getting up an hour earlier.

Change your socks, Snaffles.

You're only supposed to change it by an hour, not a day.... :D

Now I am not sure if you guys noticed but DPC Server time already changed and it is showing that that the current challenge would end in "23 hours and 20 minutes left" meaning we already lost an hour ;)

Though if you have submitted any entry in a challenge then look at the date time next to updated: tag under score and it shows current timing meaning somewhere we have disconnect between the scoring engine and submission system :)

And of course for us Europeans it doesn't change until 29th March.

The sun never changes for me! It tells me when to get up.

Heh, I changed my bedroom clock last night, but set it back instead of forward. I thought I was getting up early for a Sunday. LOL!

I'm not sure I like cable boxes and cell phones --

You don't have to change them!! I looked at the time: it's 11:43, and then I realized, bedtime is closer!!! it's really 12:43!!

Nope. My clocks already changed themselves. It kinda sucks, actually.
