I spent a day in Copenhagen where the time zone is +1 GMT. I adjusted my camera and GPS logger, Holux 241-M, accordingly. I flew to another time zone that is +4 GMT. I adjusted my laptop time by adjusting the time zone setting. I downloaded my images and GPS logging information. When I ran the command, I saw that the exiftool placed the images 3 hours earlier than where I actually was.
I used the -geosync setting to adjust the logging data to the correct time. Nothing worked until I changed my laptop back to +1 GMT. When I ran the command again, it placed the photos in the correct location.
Is there a parameter or setting I could use instead of making the laptop change? Also, I'll be doing more traveling through different time zones. Will I have to run the command separately for photos in each different time zone? Thanks for the help!
You can specify the timezone for the camera date/time tag. This is mentioned in the geotag documentation (https://exiftool.org/geotag.html) in a few places. Look at the examples section for examples of how to do this.
Please let me know if you still have problems after reading this.
