Interesting, is Nikon the only firmware that automatically resets the time for DST changes?

Erich

Does this mean I can ignore this when I get my camera out?

I would check your camera clock, John. I believe the DST setting on Nikon cameras did not change the time placed in the Exif data.  I have to change mine every Spring and Fall.

In changing my NEX's time setting, I noticed it actually does have a DST setting - but I had it turned off.  I suppose if the firmware is very recent, it would be on the 'new' revised DST schedule of the past year or two, but if it is a little older (the firmware, not the camera), the DST setting might still be on the old traditional DST times.  That's actually why I never bothered to turn it on!

Scott, was that on your D70 or the D700? On my D90 it correctly puts the DST time in the EXIF. Maybe it was a bug?

D700.  Will investigate more.  That info came from a Nikon webpage I found. I probably don't have it turned on.

So my camera (D7000) was already set to DST.  Now I wonder if all my shots between October and now have been off by an hour or the camera took care of that.   

OK, just looked at some shots nad yep, they are all off by about an hour, oh well

My D700 DST setting is ON but I still had to change my clock as it did not not change last weekend. I have the latest D700 firmware version A/B 1.02. I will have to watch it to see if it updates next weekend (the old Spring ahead date).

The DST setting in my D300 just advances the clock one hour when I turn it on, then sets it back when I turn it off.  It is not an "automatically change the clock" type of setting that you can leave on year-round.

So I hope you can come back to this thread in the fall and remind us all again?

Hm, OK, so I guess it's possible for the last 6 months my pics have been an hour off, and it's a coincidence that it's correct now. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. :D

Assuming I remember, I will bump the thread in November.

At one time, I ended up with several hundred shots with the wrong time in them.  In the process of correcting them, I learned a lot about how the time and date are stored in the image file and how to change them.  Fortunately, EXIFToolGUI and  EXIFTool make the corrections a lot easier.
