John, I don’t trust the time setting 100%. However, the best hack I have found is to take a picture of my watch or nearby clock every morning, with whatever cameras I have with me, GPS or not. It is easy to re-set the time in metadata in LR Classic later, and so I can correct any wrong time zones by camera for all shots in the day, and at the same time it synchs all cameras (eg, mine and whatever Meg is using) so that a sort by time-shot puts images into proper order. Which greatly facilitates selecting multiple images for keyboarding, etc. Stan -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
