Camera date/time

[Jannyfox]

Do cameras keep good time, or do they have to be adjusted now and again? I've just had to adjust mine for the second time so now I know it's the camera, not me. It gets a bit critical when I'm imaging sun spots. Or am I just too used to phones and computers picking up time from networks?

Mine get changed when the clocks go forwards / backwards.

I don't really care if they are out a bit, the time I took my photos aren't critical, but yes they do seem to loose some time over the six months.

i run 3 cameras for weddings so time keeping is important so i can keep images in time order. I have to correct them every other month as they run off from each other

Interesting as mine has gained time (albeit just 10 mins this time). It's nice to know it's normal and I should just check it now and again, and not something wrong with the camera. I just have to remember now as it stays on UT (GMT) all year. Many thanks guys.
