Last night, the clocks went back an hour again. That happens on the last Sunday of October every year. You have probably now set most clocks at home to the correct time.

Do not forget to turn your camera's clock back an hour too, otherwise you may have problems archiving photos that show the wrong time.

Set the date and time via the camera menu
Fortunately, some cameras set summer and winter time automatically. So you may not need to do anything at all. We still recommend checking that the time is set correctly.

And the time zone too

Why does everyone always want to set the camera clock forward and backward?
Just leave it on UT. Then it’s always correct, even when you end up in another time zone.
