There is nothing that I hate more than not having all my camera's time synced together. I have had this happen to me a couple times either with myself or when working with a second shooter. Maybe I was shooting with two different camera bodies or maybe I just got one back from a repair (they reset EVERYTHING on you BTW) but whatever the case may be, it stinks! It is also something that you can easily forget in the heat of the moment.
So here is what I do:
Go to www.time.gov and use that time to sync up your cameras... Yes all of them. Simply set the time on your cameras to the same thing and then hit the OK button when the time.gov website matches your cameras. Done!
When I am working with a second shooter on-location I just treat my camera like the time.gov site and have them sync up to my time. It's very simple yet often overlooked.
If you have more than two cameras then have a friend help you our or do a couple at a time.
Now there are EXIF modifier programs out there but it can be a hassle. Do it right the first time and save yourself the headache!
Thanks for stopping by,
Mike
