The manual does not mention DST. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Here in the States DST was modified to to remain longer in the Fall and start earlier in the Spring. This required a number of software patches for computers and other electronic equipment. AFAIK, though, cameras have always had to be manually adjusted for DST. Mark

Hope there's a good reason too. Because this way, cameras won't be able to follow DST changes unless they are equipped with GPS or earth atomic clock signal receivers. 6D, 20D, G7X

You don't need anything that complicated, just a setting you can turn on and off. On, it follows the DST rules and off it does not. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

The best solution would be to just dump daylight saving time for good. Some states don't use it and they function just fine... John

A lot of us use card readers to download our images and never connect our cameras directly to our computers. John

It dutifully changed the time back one hour last weekend and didn't do a thing this weekend. No patches for cheap alarm clocks.
