I traveled yesterday into a different time zone (CDT to EDT) and when I transferred photos from the Air 3 to my phone this morning, images shot earlier this morning were 13 hours behind. I was able to edit the date and time in the apple photos app but it made me wonder what the proper settings are for the controller (which I assume controls the exit data on the images.)

I’d like to set it so that it updates automatically the date and time based on location, if possible.

Here’s an image I was able to shoot this morning (minor processing on IPhone photos app)

This is an issue that only happens with the controllers with integrated screens.
It isn't an issue for flyers who use a phone or tablet.

If you connect the controller to the internet, it will update the time/date settings.
You probably could also manually set the date/time on the controller?
 
Great photo!

With the RC1 and RC2, if you turn on wifi and connect to your home network, and leave wifi on, it will automatically connect and sync date/time every time you boot it up at home... this is a basic function of the underlying Android OS, DJI has nothing to do with it.

I suspect the more expensive AIO RCs (Smart, Pro, etc.) work the same, but I don't know.
