Jos, my understanding is that the K-1 GPS Logging has nothing to do with photography. It allows you to treat your camera as though it were a GPS handheld device, but it is not connected to your basic camera functions.
With Logging, a subroutine in the firmware will periodically query the GPS chip, and will store the indicated location information in a file. If you are hiking through a forest, if you set the interval to 30 seconds or 1 minute you would be able to store a fairly continuous track of your path. It is a separate file on one of your cards, I believe it is not in your image folder. Later you can extract that Track and read it in various tracking/logging software. If you were driving you might want an interval of only 5 seconds. But of course the shorter the interval, the more processing you are asking for, and thus the more demands you are making on your battery. The photography (main) system in your camera does not need and does not use GPS Logging. It only reads and stores GPS data as needed. If you have GPS turned on, then when you take a picture the photography system will query the GPS chip and will record location, direction etc information within the EXiF for that captured image. Of course, I may be wrong, I was once wrong (maybe twice) and it might happen again at any time. But I believe the above is correct… Back on the question of DST, I agree with the others’ comments - I don’t think there is anything physically wrong with your camera, but rather the problem is with the camera firmware and its ability to maintain an internal database of the various time standards in various regions. One simple answer might be to verify that you have the latest firmware. But I know that I have been in many situations where the auto-set time on various GPS capable devices has simply been wrong. stan > On Mar 27, 2017, at 10:35 AM, Jos de Fotograaf <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi Stanley, thks.
