Synchronise the time between your cameras

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

When you take a photo, it is not just the camera settings that are saved, but also the date and time. This is the timestamp. Do you use multiple cameras? Make sure they are all set to the same time. 

The timestamp tells you exactly when a photo was taken. As long as you have set the date and time correctly. And, if necessary, the time zone when you are on holiday. 

This means you can always find out when a photo was taken. It also gives you the opportunity to put photos in order, sort them, or search for a photo.

Do you use multiple cameras? Make sure the time is set to exactly the same time on all of them. Check this just before you start taking photos, because clocks are never perfectly synchronised.

I advise you to use the time on your smartphone. Your smartphone is also a camera, after all. A simple smartphone photo will then fit perfectly among the others.

If you collect the photos from your day out, holiday, or photography trip, they will always be in the right order. Also pay attention to time zones if your journey takes you further afield. Any GPS tracking will then be perfectly accurate too.

It takes very little effort to do this before your trip or journey. You will get a lot of enjoyment from it later.
