Probably the same question for many of the Panasonic cameras.

Up till now I've just set my camera to UTC/GMT and corrected later. But I thought I try out the Clock Set, World Time/Travel Time and Date for an upcoming trip. I'm in Calif (-8) and going to +3. I set these up on the camera and everything looks OK in the camera. But when I import to macOS Photos the time are at the destination (which won't happen for several days). I checked the EXIF info and it appears all dates are the destination

This photo was taken at 5:43 pm Nov 5. Nov 5, 23:43 UTC

Has Panasonic just messed this up or am I missing something?

I am very stupid on the time zone and so upon the time stamp hard to judge.

However, might I ask had you set to use destination time instead of home time? Just set the destination time zone without apply it, the time stamp will remain home time.

I have to merge photos from various cameras and purely relying on the time stamp of the photos. I have no problem from GX7.
