| Due to a date violation (please everyone, remember to check your incamera date!), the red ribbon entry was disqualified. Congratulations to the new red and yellow ribbon winners. |

| I haven't even looked at my in-camera date since i got my camera 5 years ago and have never, ever had a problem with validations - how and when can it change and for what reasons? There is no way I will remember to check it every time |

If you leave the batteries out for a few minutes, most cameras will reset the date (and sometimes all other settings) to some default, usually around the time of manufacture. The same will happen if it "crashes".
You also need to reset it if you live in an area which observes Daylight-Saving/Summer Time conventions, unless you NEVER shoot close to the challenge opening/closing times. |

That's news to me. Maybe *some* do this, but *most*? I leave my cameras battery-less while recharging all the time, and have never had a reset from that. My cameras all have a little, permanent battery in them that keeps the functions alive when the big battery's out, I think... I had assumed this was normal in the industry...

Well, most of my experience is with older cameras, so the internal batteries may have been upgraded to eliminate this problem.
Also, all of my cameras have used AA batteries, which would normally be simply exchanged for a fresh set in short order; cameras with proprietary rechargables would have to account for a single battery being disconnected for a more extended period. |

Yes, it's always sad to have a photo DQd for being taken in the future ... :-) |

"I haven't even looked at my in-camera date since i got my camera 5 years ago and have never, ever had a problem with validations - how and when can it change and for what reasons? There is no way I will remember to check it every time."
Depends on how the time/date is maintained. For cameras that rely on flash memory, it usually takes a few days without power before it needs to be reset. The time/date stamp will hold as you change battaries like AA's or whatever kind of battery. It would have to be a really first generation digital camera to be affected by battery replacement and even then, iffy.
However that is becoming rare as most cameras, even the smaller PnS types, now are powered by Li-Ion (lithium ion) batteries and those are good for more than five years in most cases - sometimes even longer. The clock drain is so small that it accounts for less than .001% of the drain of the Li-Ion in the camera.
In all DSLRs, the only way you can lose the clock is if you do a firmware reset (by updating the firmware/software) or by resetting the camera to factory defaults (which is recommended by some DSLR manufacturers every so often) - or by doing one or the other accidently.
One other way to create a time/date fault is to set the time wrong mistaking 12 hour periods (12 AM vs 12PM) on any given date. I always use the 24 hour clock on all electronics to avoid that issue (yes, I have fallen for this one).
Standard time vs daylight time will only create a 1 hour difference which shouldn't be a problem. What can be a problem for time difference is traveling more than an 1 hour (in terms of time zone) - that could be an issue if, for instance, you took an image plus or minus the International Time Zone or on opposite sides of the country.
Later,
Tom |

Personally, I find it equally weird to find out I made a picture 12 hours before I actually made it, which resulted in my first and only DQ, and on a ribbon-winner no less, sigh... So I feel for the poor shooter in this case :-(

| Stuff happens. I had one DQ'd because I had a date of 2099. Still not sure how I did that. |

What's it like in the future - got any hot stock tips?

Nah. We leave our cameras set to our own time zones, and we list where the pic was taken, and SC uses their magic to calculate the legality, easy-peasy...
But yeah, that 12-hour clock is the one that did me in, except it was the camera store's fault danggit...
