Re: Time reported +4 hours with Nikon D40

[Chris Kelly <ckdake ckdake com>]

Timezones do complicate things but regardless of if you either set your 
camera date/time based on where you are, or you keep it set the same, 
the DateTimeOriginal field in EXIF should accurately reflect what's on 
your camera. (I verified this at least for Canon S200, 10D, 20D, 40D)

However, If you count on f-spot to manage the different times, you're 
out of luck,  especially if you've imported some subset if your images 
multiple times.
