Howdy!,

I have a GRIPE about some of the Battery Operated things not automatically changing from Standard Time (xST) to Day Light Savings Time (xDT) in the
Spring , or from xDT to xST in the Fall.

I forget sometimes to change the Hour on several things, such as:

VCR's / DVR's Digital Camera Home Telephone Clocks

and Watches etc., etc., etc......

Usually I will change the Hour on the above items when I find out that the
TV program I set up to be Recorded, got the wrong Show on the Tape,

Or

the Photo I took showed the wrong Time (Hour) than when I took the photo, etc.

I've had the VCR for many Years so I would guess it may not "KNOW" about
the Dates for changing the Hour from xST to xDT or the other way around with the changes in the Seasons.

In 2010 I got the Digital Camera and thought the software in it should had
let it do the Time Change(s) automatically.
Maybe I don't know what to look for in the Camera's Settings to make "IT"
do the Time Changes its self.

On my trip last year I often didn't know what the time was.
My watch was on EDT, my phone/car clock changed with the time zone.
When I had to replace the first rental with the second it stayed on PDT.
It was like the old joke of the guy wearing three wrist watches and asked
why and told one was fast, the other slow, and the third didn't work, or something. When asked when he wanted the time he pulled out a pocket watch.
One time in Colorado I was looking out the motel window at the mountains
and happened to glance at my watch, which read something like 10 p.m. I thought I didn't recall it being light that late in the day when I lived there then realised I was still on on
I was a bit concerned when I also realised the phone and car knew what
time zone I was in. I left the wrist watch on EDT the whole time so I knew what the "real" time was. :)

Maybe I don't know what to look for in the Camera's Settings to make "IT" do

the Time Changes its self.

In my iPhone for the time I tap the clock icon, select Eastern/NY time
when I set it up and it should change from Daylight to Standard and back automagically. As does my pc and tablets.
Back in the olden days when I had a tv I had to manually change the VCR.
I still have to change the time on my alarm clock.

I have very few electronic objects which can do this. It's more confusing whens some change, and some don't. I've set clocks an hour forward, which had already set themselves an hour forward.
