My D300 time Stamp

<p>Sometimes I let an attached GPS unit (Nikon GP-1) to automatically adjust the clock inside the camera, D300 and others. The GPS gets the time in GMT from the satellite, and I set the time zone. However, the GPS doesn't automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time.</p>

<p>Therefore, if your auto time setting is behind by exactly an hour during the summer Daylight Saving Time period, that is the first thing I would check.</p>

<p>Thank you I did check the Daylight savings time thing. but to no avail if I change it Im 2 hours off. My World time is set for Vancouver... Daylight Saving time is on. It is 12:44 right now and my time stamp is 11:49. What the heck is there any I can fix this in camera?<br>

<p>Jill, it sounds like you just need to manually set the time on your D300. When it is off by 55 minutes instead of a whole hour, it looks like your camera's time is not set automatically, e.g. by GPS/satellite. Just keep your time zone in Pacific time (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver) with Daylight Saving time switched on, and set the hour and minute manually.</p>

<p>By the time you switch to Standard Time in the autumn, just switch off Daylight Saving time and if you travel to another time zone, merely change the time zone.</p>

<p>I agree with Shun, just set the time manually once.<br>

Question : is the Date in the camera OK ?<br>

If in the past you have had your battery removed from the camera for an extended time, then the internal clock may have stopped because it keeps powered for a limited tim by an internal rechargeable battery. If then powering up the camera again, youy will have to set the clock to date and time again too</p>
