Wrong time

Hello out there,

choosing the same settings for date and time on the M10-R and the SL2-S (GMT+1 Wetzlar), Daylight Saving Time on), the M10-R shows the correct time of 5:40 am and the SL2-S shows 6:40 am. 

Has anybody else encountered that phenomenon?

Thanks, Patrick

I have a SL2 and M10 and M10M so I guess the same applies to an SL2S and M10R.

I do not know if you are aware that the M and SL2 obtain the date/time in a complete different way.  

• The M can only automatically get the date/time via the GPS of the Visoflex and only if in the menu GPS is ON and in the date/time settings the toggle obtain date/time via GPS is also ON.  In that case the timezone will be greyed out.  If you do not have a Visoflex the time can only be set manually. 
• The SL2 however obtains the date/time via Fotos app via Wifi.  In the date/time settings you must select VIA SMARTPHONE

Is the above of any help to explain why the time on your M is correct and on the SL2S not?

Stefan,

thanks. Both cameras were manually set to the right time, but I needed to change the time zone after international travel and the problem started. I have connected the SL2-S now first time to the Foto app (an unstable experience) and changed the time zone again. That was sufficient to correct the wrong timing.
