Well, yes and no. If you look at that standard Time/Date structure, (Gaud this is getting into the weeds), if the software is using it correctly it's stores UTC a flag and an offset to get the local time. I assume that the OS used by the camera includes a Time/Date object. I also assume it stores the Timestamp in the "standard" manner. So yes it stores the data in UTC.

Yes, I know. That makes it not UTC.

It pretty much is on UTC.  The current time zone is just an offset based on the 
home city.

If I had a camera that had gps I would just let it record everything as UTC 
rather than try to account for different places. It makes life easier - one 
less thing to clutter my head with. In fact even without gps I think I just 
leave them on UTC.

Stan, your explanation of GPS sounds logic, thks.

The GPS is also used when shooting ASTRO, but I did not try that yet.

I will check with Ricoh/Pentax why there would be no DST timetable for the 
Netherlands. As they should know US could be first but Netherlands are second!

Anyhow, I will not wait for the software update, but change the time manually.

Greetz, Jos
