Doing a search on the date and time as to where it comes from. This question doesn't seem to be answered or at least not on this thread. Still searching but this is why I'm interested. Reviewing photos taken a couple days ago and it appears that the time is off by one hour. Likely a daylight saving setting that hasn't properly corrected the time. I would have assumed that the date and time came from the device attached to the controller, my iPad. Yet the iPad acquires the time and date from cellular and it's correct. So then GPS? If GPS, why would it be the wrong time considering the aircraft had 14-16 satellites connected as there isn't any confusion as to what time zone I'm located in?
Images were loaded from the mini SD card directly into my PC which it too has the correct time but shouldn't mess with the metadata anyway.
Interesting!!
The photos are stored in the aircraft on the SD card. It is not absolutely necessary to have a cellphone or tablet connected to the RC unit, you can fly quite well without one. Therefore the aircraft cannot get time and date information from the cell phone, and instead, uses the information from the GPS receiver.
