Date and Time Problem

[jennifer@falcophoto.net]

I have an interesting thing happening with my D60. I have my date and time set correctly but when I load them into my computer they show being taken 5 hours before the time the camera shows. Other than that, the camera is wonderful. Anybody else having these problems?

Let me take a wild stab at this. Are you in the Eastern Standard Time Zone?

Check to see what time zone your computer thinks it is in. When I see a time discrepancy of five hours, I think about EST being five hours behind GMT. So if your computer were set for GMT, that might explain a few things.

On the west coast, people pop up with eight hour discrepancies the same way.

Jennifer,

You don't mention the type of computer you are using, but I am betting a Macintosh with System X.

I use a Macintosh G4 and a Powerbook G4 with both System X and System 9.2 on them. If I transfer the photos to the computers under System X they are 5 hours off, but if I boot into System 9 they are the same time as the camera. I am on Eastern Time like you.

As someone told me this is now a feature! Go Figure. Life shouldn't be so difficult.

Happy New Years!

try setting the date/time from the computer. This can be done using the cable and goofy software that came with the camera. I use this occasionally when the camera gets a few minutes off.
