How to get date, not date value #105

Closed kelerek closed 4 years ago

kelerek commented 4 years ago

Hi Jim,

datetime.get_value() retrieves some numbers and I don't know what it means. I want get date which is set on my camera. How can i do it and how can I set new date?

It's probably camera dependent. Possibly number of seconds since 1st Jan 1970, maybe something else. See Python's datetime module for some useful conversion routines.

The get-camera-clock.py and set-camera-clock.py examples show how to get and set the date/time for my Canon cameras.

This is number of seconds since 1st Jan 1970. I counted it. Your examples are working on my Canon. Thanks Jim <3
