Very! I have the same camera and haven't bothered with the GPS for many years.
I can't remember if it automatically changes for DST, but I don't remember changing it.
But then again with several things I just leave them on GMT all year round, my TZ60 may well be one of them!
Thanks, that's useful to know.
Changing for BST/GMT can produce some confusing effects if you happen to take pictures in the hours after midnight when the time changes. I leave a lot of things permananently on GMT. This also avoids any confusion when changing time zones.
I'll leave the GPS on for location, it's occasionally useful when I'm trying to work out what/where a picture is! :-)
I have the same camera with the same issue. On the GPS info screen, location is correct, time is correct, but Month and Year are showing December 2003 instead of July 2023. I have switched off the "Auto Clock Set" and everything seems ok - for now. Just had to reset the time and date (time was pretty much bang on anyway) manually. I reckon a firmware update would fix this, but I can't see Panasonic releasing one anytime soon.
Thanks for all of that. I have exactly the same problem with my TZ60. Manual date from now on as wrongly dating photos affects downloading them.
