Can you supply "exiftool -G" output for two images: one that is OK, and one 
with the 3 hour shift?

I would just like to be sure your camera and your computer both agree on the 
current local time.

Depends on what is the root cause of the discrepancy.  I'm working on an 
extension to fix f-spot timestamp using EXIF time or file mod time with the 
option to assume a given time zone, but it's still in its infancy (I am new 
to f-spot, C#, gtk & glade.).
