End of Daylight Time in US: Have you changed your camera clo |
|
|
For those of you who like to have correct time stamps on your pictures,
remember to set the clock in your still and/or video camera to the
correct time.
Other clocks to consider:
Kitchen Stove - Answering Machine - Still Camera - Video Camera
VCR - Car - Cell Phone - PDA - Microwave - Watch - FAX Machine
Central Air Conditioning - GPS

DISCLAIMER: 1. Yes, I know that I could keep my camera on GMT so that I
would never have to adjust it, but it's too much of a hassle to mentally
convert GMT to local time every time I look at the picture. 2. Yes, I
now that daylight time is a dumb idea, but what are you going to do? We
have it here! 3. Yes, I know that some electronic items will
automatically adjust to standard time, but not all of us have the latest
and greatest gadgets! 4. Yes, I know that Arizona doesn't have Daylight
time.

The GPS *system* operates in GPS time. It marches forward at exactly
the same rate as UTC, but GPS time doesn't have leap seconds, so there
are always exactly the same number of seconds in a year, and so GPS time
and UTC differ by an integer number of seconds.
GPS receivers get GPS time from the satellites, plus a data field
giving the current offset between GPS time and UTC, plus a flag
indicating that a leap second is coming. So they have all the
information needed to provide UTC, exactly, if they want to.
But GPS receivers generally don't know what time zone you are in,
because they don't include detailed maps of time zone boundaries. Once
*you* tell the receiver what your local time zone is, and whether it
observes daylight savings time, some receivers will handle the ST/DST
switch automatically - if you're in one of the countries it's been
programmed for. If any of this works, it's because of software in the
receiver - the GPS system knows nothing about local time.

Yeah, and when the USA changes the dates that DST starts, all this
technology will make the change automatically on the wrong date...

Our local KenAndBarbie TV news readers always recommend changing your
smoke detector batteries at this juncture; not a bad idea. Back in the
days of _real_ photography I used to change my AE1, AE1P, A1, and F1N
batteries, too.

Some do, some don't. Mine is several years old and the local time has
to be set. Gotta get one of the shiny new ones someday....

One more fillip: The whole daylight savings time shebang changes in |
2007 when the energy savings bill goes into effect. I just leave my
digicams on EST all year long. Windoze makes the time change
automatically, but Linux doesn't, so I have to change my Linux box
manually. |

You're putting an awful lot of trust in the people who run "the
network". My cellphone is configured to get the time from the network,
and when we changed to daylight savings time last spring it took several
*days* for all of the cell sites to be updated properly. At one point,
the time was an hour off in one place in the city and correct in
another.
We just switched back to standard time this morning. 10 hours later,
the phones are still displaying daylight savings time.

In my experience, DIGITAL cell phons do this, but if you're using an
older analog phone, they don't get their time from the system.
Yeah, I know, who ues an older analog phone anymore? But If you're
roaming in an analog area, beware.
