Don’t Forget to Set the Date and Time!

I have been updating my Flickr account with a back log of Project 365 photographs which it was in desperate need of, I had become a little behind to say the least.

When I started to notice that the dates of the images were wrong, I don’t normally look at the dates but with working through so many photographs they caught my eye today. They were saying the images had been taken in March 2008! Which I thought was a little strange.

So I checked my computer’s date and time, which were fine so it wasn’t that. The next stop was the camera, which hadn’t crossed my mind as the culprit. I had set the date and time when I had got it over a year ago. But it was the culprit, it’s date was set on 23 March 2008 at 1.15 am for some reason?

The only reason I can think of for this to happen was that a while ago the battery went flat while I was out, maybe that messed around with the date and time somehow, I don’t know. It was easily fixed though through the setup menu.

But since I’m doing a Project 365 it’s important that I have the correct date so I’m glad that I noticed it, and have corrected it now. It just shows it’s easy to miss the simple things, and good to check them every now and then!
