Daylight saving time and the om1.2
Today, in most of north america, is the change to daylight saving time. My camera didn't change the the clock forward by 1 hour.
A complaint about the Olympus/OM menu system?
Surely not
Handy reminder, thanks.

It's not the menu system! There is no menu for daylight saving time: on or off. It's a button.:-O
It turns out that pressing the the INFO button, when in the timezone setting, will switch the camera to the daylight saving time. Why? It would have been much simpler to put it on the same screen as selecting the timezone.
Documentation and menu structure is not strong suit for the brand and I was unaware of this. Thanks for the tip, as this also works on my OM-5

I don’t have the OM-1, but curious about how it’s done in my E-M1III and also wanting to check whether I’d even bothered with changing Daylight Savings settings when returning from New Zealand last November, I had a look at my Camera (which has the old Olympus Menu system - hated by many but not too bad IMO)

I have set my EM1 MkIII to UTC rather than the local time zone.
This is documented in the Initial Setup portion of the full (online) manual. For the OM-3, it is located on page 40 and reads:

Easier than my microwave, oven, toaster oven, or refrigerator, and that's just my kitchen. :-O

Tell me about it. I can't work out how to change my heating boiler settings even after studying the (advanced) installation and maintenance manual :-(
I'm no fan of Olympus menus but I've never had any problem using the cameras so who cares
PS: I always use the "daylight savings" setting on any device that supports it, especially cameras, so I always check how to change it when I set the camera up first time out of the box.

I keep mine in synch because Google follows me everywhere I go, so anytime I want, he can tell me where I was. I use google location history and camera clock to geotag. Off by an hour and I could be drowning in the Atlantic.
