Saturday’s Headline—Daylight Saving Time: Set Your Clocks Ahead Tonight

Did you get all your clocks set forward? I know it usually takes a couple of weeks to remember all the watches around me.

One that many photographers forget is the ones on their cameras. So be sure you take the time today to adjust your camera’s clock.

My Nikon D4 lets you even set the Time Zone you are in. Using the Time Zone is excellent when traveling; you need to show the time zone you are shooting in.

Many people use this time each fall and spring to remind them to do more than change their clocks. Therefore, I recommend everyone add to the list of things to do around clock changes each spring and fall.

Every so often, here is something for photographers to check on, not something you must do all the time.

  1. Firmware Updates
    1. For your camera
    2. For your lenses
    3. For your flashes
  2. Software updates
Here are two links to check if you have a Nikon or Fujifilm camera.
The reason you want to get everything updated is to get the best performance out of your gear.
