Hmm. I like to keep the camera's date setting current, but rarely ever look at the time my cameras are set to.
I order things in LR by frame number, not by time, and only very very occasionally use more than one camera at a time, so it's rarely an issue.
If I do have two cameras output (iphone and m10m, or m10m and m10r), since I don't shoot all that many frames in a session on average, I can usually integrate all the photos together in the right sequence and then rename them into an ordinal sequence, if that seems important. I can also set the capture times into an ordinal range that way.
Most of the time, I don't worry about time and date very much. Once I've rendered my photos and put together a set to display, whatever order they are in is what I choose, not what the frame numbering or the time/date sequence are.
Life is sure simpler in the Polaroid instant film world where a pack of film has only eight exposures and I can remember exactly what sequence I shot them in… :D
There’s a lot to be said for that!
I’ve just discovered that the Visoflex 020 has a GPS. So attached to my M10M, and after changing a couple of settings in the menu, it can pluck the date and time from out of the sky!
As far as I can tell it uses local time, but as I’m in the UTC time zone it’s difficult to be sure.
