Time incorrect on my Q3

I am in the UK and have my time zone set as London with daylight saving switched on. My time on the camera is 2 hours behind UK time. Anyone know if this is a firmware bug? Anyone else have the same problem?

I only have my SL2-S in front of me at the moment but I think all Leicas are similar. You actually have to set the time manually. Setting the time zone is only useful when you move between time zones and you want to work in another one.

I have had problems making sense of times on exif fata when the photo was taken, say, six time zpnes away from where I live and I changed the time in cmera while there!

As said above, if you set the time and the timezone when you first got the camera then it should not change except for summer and winter time if you have those checked.

I set the time zone correctly - and the time. Then we went into British Summer Time in the UK so I switched on daylight saving time. I am now 1 hour BEHIND. If I turn off daylight saving time I am 2 hours BEHIND. Back to square one now - I think @LocalHero1953 is correct - you have to set the time as well. So daylight saving off time zone correct and time set to be correct now. Should be golden now - VERY CONFUSING but go tthere in the end - thanks everyone for your help.

If you follow the process in the menu, you can check that you’re in the right timezone, and you can set the time to incorporate seasonal changes.
