Just found a K-3ii with fewer than 3500 shutter actuations on eBay. I
should have it some time next week.

Thanks, Rick. I'm working on adding captions to the photos but I
didn't have time to do so with the initial upload (beginning of the
semester gets pretty busy).

There’s a lot to be said for that!

I’ve just discovered that the Visoflex 020 has a GPS. So attached to my M10M, 
and after changing a couple of settings in the menu, it can pluck the date and 
time from out of the sky!

As far as I can tell it uses local time, but as I’m in the UTC time zone it’s 
difficult to be sure.

It doesn’t have to be UTC of course - it could be any time you choose as the 
reference time, eg the time in your home town, or in Ulan Batar, as long as all 
the cameras have the same time. It’s not like you look at the camera to tell 
the time in whatever non-home timezone you may find yourself, you have a watch 
for that, presumably.

Can it reset the clock to LOCAL time?

That's the biggest problem I have with the clock - traveling to a different time zone and forgetting to set 
the camera's clock to the correct time zone, i.e. I have the camera set to "New York" (because it 
doesn't have a setting for "Eastern" time or "Raleigh, NC" and I'm in Albuquerque ... or 
halfway round the world, so the clock may be off anywhere 2 to 12 hours.



I’d expect the satellites to transmit UTC. Local time is a function of UTC and 
the time zone offset and savings time, derived from the GPS coordinates.

If I were you I’d set all my cameras to UTC, then you shouldn’t have any 
problems merging image files from different cameras and getting the date/time 
sorting all stuffed up.

Then photograph a town name from time to time so you have an embedded record of 
where you were. Modern operating systems can recognise and select text in image 
files, so you can copy and paste it into the metadata if you want to.



Wouldn't be a problem if it had been in one of the little towns. I'm 
pretty good at sorting out the landmarks.


It's the photos "I know it was out in the middle of nowhere along the 
highway between Stephenville and San Angelo" that give me fits. That's 
where the built in GPS would come in handy.


I'll have to think about changing over to UTC.

At least then ALL of the times will be "WRONG", rather than just blocks 
of them.
