Uploading videos to Google Photos, incorrect time

Hi,

I have a FinePix XP140. The device's time zone, time, and date are set correctly. I live in the GMT-04:00 time zone.

When I capture a photo or video, the timestamp displayed in the device is accurate. The timestamp is also accurate on the photo and video file on the SD card.

When I upload my photos to Google Photos, the time and time zone appear correct. However, for videos captured, the time zone appearing is still GMT-04:00, but the time moves back 4 hours.

For example :

Using the XP140, I take a photo at 3:00 p.m. The time displayed in the device is 3:00 p.m. The file time of the photo in the SD card is 3:00 p.m. After uploading to Google Photos, the time also appears as 3:00 p.m., GMT-04:00.

Now I capture video at 3:00 p.m. The time appearing in the device and in the SD card file is 3:00 p.m. However, when I transfer this video to Google Photos, the time now becomes 11:00, while maintaining the GMT-04:00 time zone. Same principle for the time of a video taken, for example, at 09:58, GMT-04:00, which, once transferred to Google Photos, will change to 05:58, GMT-04:00 (9:58 - 4h = 5:58).

I have no problem with photos and videos taken using my iPhone; these are correctly timestamped following transfer to Google Photos.

Somebody has the same problem?

How can I fix this?

THANKS!

    • Have you found a solution yet? I'm also facing the same situation as you
    • Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

    • Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek
    • Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.
