Ok, idiot me (in a blond moment) saw the Daylight Saving time thread. Yes, I remembered. Yes, I turned all my clocks back.

NO, I DIDN'T CHANGE TIME ON MY CAMERA!!

I just don't think of time and camera in the same thought.

So for any idiots out there (like me) -- go change your camera time.

Ha, idiot here!! I didn't change mine either (just did it). But I never shoot within an hour of sumbission deadlines so I would have been ok anyway (I'm 1 1/2 hours ahead of eastern time so that would mean I'd be shooting pics for challenges at 1:30am.....I don't think so!).

I've actually shot one or two challenges at 11:30 before, I guess in the fall I'm ok, but in the spring, it could have been a big problem!!

no, I did not. Thanks for the reminder.
11/03/2009 03:33:42 PM · #5
changed it... but not before you mentioned it - thanks for the reminder!

Not too often I shoot just before roll-over though since that would be 5 am :) But nevertheless; I do use my camera for work just about every day and it should be correct.

Good call.

LOL forgot to spring forward so little fear of falling back now. And I rarely shoot later for challenges than 10 pm anyway.

Oh man! Thanks for posting this!!
11/03/2009 05:13:55 PM · #11

E3 does it automatically.

I wish.

Thanks for the reminder.

Done.

Ha, I'm with you on that, I think my camera has just corrected itself after being out for about 6 months!

Thanks for the reminder, completely forgot about it.

sorry... I don't know what I was thinking...

If you have a Canon and use DPP to download your camera. You can sync your camera's time with your computers time, which on Windows based OS will automatically change time. I never worry about mine. Although I rarely enter challenges either. :D

Good thing you said something...knowing me...I'd do a shoot near midnight (which I've never done...yet) and of course it would be "the one". Thanks for posting this

Now if we all went by the Julian date....none of this would have happened. :)

Nope.... I am waiting for the camera to read the time from the radio broadcast of the atomic clock... It should be able to do that right :-)

Yeah, I can deal in Julian no prob... bring it on....

Thanks, Wendy!

It never crossed my mind before your thread.
11/03/2009 08:16:10 PM · #21
Well.....I didn't, and just reset it.

Mine has a Daylight Savings (Yes/No) choice!
11/03/2009 08:18:53 PM · #22
Does the concil check the time of my shots considering i'm in Brazil? What about the countries that have no daylight saving or "horário de verão"(how we call it around here)?
11/03/2009 08:21:56 PM · #23
Thank goodness for Arizona. We tried once to go to daylight savings time. Colossal f/u. So they never did it again.

We use the location listed in your profile to make adjustments to the time based on your time zone. Please make sure your profile lists your actual location, and set your camera to the current local time and you should be fine.

Note that the weekends on which DST starts/stops was changed a couple of years ago, and that many devices which have the change pre-programmed (e.g. the time clock at my workplace) will change on the wrong date.
