True. I think this is the best option for storing pictures anyway because then you don't have problems like picture A being taken before picture B, but displayed the other way around because they were taken while crossing timezones and adjusting camera time and thus A having a later local timestamp than B. > That seems strange to me > because while that's an accurate representation of the time, it's not a time > that's useful for people -- it gives the picture very little context.

I strongly advocate for internally storing and handling times in UTC plus positions or timezones and displaying times in the userinterface in either a user selected time zone or the local time derived from UTC + position/timezone. Also I would tell the used timezone with the displayed time. Just three letters to add. > I also didn't realize that the barcode pictures could be taken at any time > before or after a series of pictures was taken.

That's the optimum case, but unfortunately some cameras loose their time settings when off battery for too long or have a strong drift. So maybe once every couple of weeks or so.
