I just discovered a strange little phenomenon ...
I've been using the Canon software to transfer images off my S200 and 10D cameras. As I've been working with an image-management program and looking at my images' EXIF data, I've noticed that the (modified) file date/times of images transfered during standard time were an hour later than they should be. (For example, images taken at 10:30 would have a file date of 11:30 after transfer.) Those transfered during daylight savings were fine.
This strange occurrence doesn't make sense in many ways, but I've been over it and over it and it's definitely happening.
I picked up a card reader and have transfered some new images directly off the card and they're A-OK. The time discrepancy happens only when using the S200's or the 10D's software to transfer images. (This is on Win2K, BTW.)
Thankfully, I've been able to use my new image-management software to reset the file date/times to the EXIF "captured" date/times embedded by the cameras. But if you transfer images directly from a Canon camera using the Canon software, you might compare your files dates to your EXIF dates if it's at all important to you.
