Or do a "world" setting vs "home" setting to differentiate the two. And that brings up a complication I forgot: some cameras will change your default video settings depending on where in the world you say you are. If we got something that could automatically detect time zone we'd be better off in that regard, but for now you need to enter it or record it in some way (a smartphone shot, as suggested, since they are better at getting the zone, at least in populated areas with reception).Īll my cameras also have time zone setting.

Plus adding local time is adding the info about what time zone you're in when I used UTC if I didn't have location info I'd have to infer the zone to get local time. Now that I have wifi equipped cameras I've gone back to local time just makes post work easier since that seems to be the assumption for what's recorded in the image. So remember to leave that feature off (if you can, and don't ask me how I know about it.doh!).
So be careful.įinally, if you're using a camera or sometimes wifi equipped cameras and have the feature to set camera time by GPS then when you flick it on everything changes except the shots you already took. Some time is recorded with time zone, some isn't.

The other complication is that some software will use (and sometimes insert) local time as determined by the computer the software is running on, and that can go into some time namespaces in metadata. So I still have to deal with that, since people viewing many of the photos I shoot expect them to sort with theirs, so that all the dinner and sunset shots are reasonably together, etc. And I'm often going over a time zone boundary in the course of a relatively short interval between shots. Maybe if I lived closer to Greenwich I'd be into it, but the problem where I live is that with a 7-8 hour difference I get date changes as a result, which can be a mess. Yeah, I've gone back and forth on the UTC thing. If you camera is wifi enabled the manufacturer's app should be able to record location and apply that in-camera. No importing GPX or other track files (although gps4cam saves them if you need them for a hiking app or something). So no messing with adjusting the camera clock, etc. I use HoudahGeo cuz it gives me some options after that to say adjust on a map cuz I had a poor GPS signal, or write to some non-standard locaton, but you could do some of that in Lr itself.
#Gps4cam desktop code#
It reads the QR code and uses the info to georeference your images. Take a photo of the QR code.īack on your computer, using gps4cam's desktop software (or HoudahGeo) you find the photos you've copied off the SD card. When you finish, you end the track and it shows a QR code. It's quite conservative with battery use as a consequence. You can adjust the intervals for tracking, or even set it up so that you just shake the phone to record a spot if you don't wanna do a whole track. I've used a ton of GPS apps and devices to geolocate images, but I think the easiest by far is gps4cam.
