If you’ve taken photos and videos with the a RC Quad Copter such as the Dromida Kodo, the X5C, or one of the many Quad Copters sold on Amazon you may have noticed that when you get finished taking photos and videos you have a result like this:
Oct 1 01:03:40 2013 MOVI0000.avi
Oct 1 01:04:04 2013 MOVI0001.avi
Oct 1 01:04:20 2013 MOVI0002.avi
Oct 1 01:04:20 2013 MOVI0003.avi
Oct 1 01:00:52 2013 PICT0000.jpg
Oct 1 01:00:56 2013 PICT0001.jpg
Oct 1 01:04:08 2013 PICT0002.jpg
Oct 1 01:04:12 2013 PICT0003.jpg
All of the dates and times seem to be on October 1, 2013 shortly after 1:00.
To get the correct timestamps, you can save a file to the SD card named time.txt with the date in the format “yyyy/mm/dd hh.mm.ss”
Use notepad or another text editor to create the file, and name it time.txt with the timestamp all on one line, and then a newline (press ‘enter’) after it. This will be used to set the camera’s clock as long as it has power.
Here are some examples for different timezones – and you can also download files with the current timestamps:
