Do you Synchronize?

[McDuck]

When you travel to Disney (or anywhere) with multiple cameras, do you synchronize the date/time on all the cameras?

We really wish we had on this most recent trip. My dad first noticed the issue when compiling the photos from our wedding and then another trip they took with my aunt and uncle. Cameras will be anywhere from a few minutes to possibly days off, and if you're trying to combine pictures from multiple cameras, they won't be in sequence.

I discovered that my camera and my mom's camera were somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour off while watching a slideshow of our combined photos. For instance, on our MK day, we have my pictures of rope drop, then inside the park, and our first few rides, and then my mom's rope drop pictures started getting interspersed.

You can fix the issue by altering the timestamp during the editing process, but it sure would make things a lot smoother to synchronize the date/time stamp on the cameras at the start of the trip!

Just a tip we plan on using next time we have multiple cameras, and thought I'd share it!

Since we take only one camera, we don't have to synchronize. I make sure the month, day and year haven't wandered off, and I set the time using our radio controlled clock.
