We recommend that you set the camera clock to the cor‑
rect time and date before shooting. If you are using mul‑
tiple cameras, it is particularly important that their clocks
agree so that pictures can be correctly sorted by time and
date of recording when displayed in ViewNX‑i or other
software after transfer to a computer.
Clocks can be synchronized via:
• GNSS (page page 77): Use the location
data function to set the camera
clock to the current time (UTC, or
Universal Coordinated Time) sup‑
plied by satellite to the camera’s
built‑in GNSS receiver. You can set
the clocks on multiple cameras with no additional devic‑
es or applications or syncing between cameras.
• Ethernet/wireless LAN (page page 99): A
D6 “master” camera can be used
to set the clock on a “remote” D6
connected via an Ethernet cable or
a WT‑6 wireless transmitter.
• Nikon Transfer 2 (page page 1111): Where
supported, the clock synchroniza‑
tion feature in Nikon Transfer 2 can
be used to set clocks on cameras
of many dierent types to the time
reported by the computer.
