This past weekend you walked around your house and reset all your clocks, your watch, and your TV. The VCR is still blinking 12:00 so you passed that by. Did you check your Digital Cameras?

A lot of cameras actually have an option in the menu for DST. Hopefully, it took into account that this year we switched over a week later than usual. It’s still a good idea to verify an accurate Date and Time setting.

The Date and Time info is embedded into the EXIF data area of your image files. There are software tools to edit it, but why not put the correct info there in the first place?

Why is this important? For some it may not be. If your image download software creates a folder name based on the Shot Date, it is. If you rename your files to include the Date and/or Time, it also is.

Be persnickety! Make sure your digital camera has the correct date and time set.
