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:
