incorrect time

I took a video to understand the issue better :

As you can see - even gopro's time settings are the same with wristwatch, later on with video export on Quik app the time shows wrong. I Don't know if is somehow related with timezones - this video is taken UTC/GMT +3, BUT it doesnt matter - check the frame from another video (see attachment) - the video data shows wristwatch time plus 3 hrs, however in this video minus 3hrs.

the hell is wrong with GOPRO????

Hi @mariustanya, 

thanks for the reply! Does Gopro team plan to upgrade H5 ? if yes, when?

I have the exact same issue with a GoPro Hero 7 White. Firmware and apps are up to date but video shows the wrong time. They are consistenly 5 hours off. ie: A video taken at 7PM shows as 2PM. I notice this when I upload to Google Photos. Pictures do not have this problem, only video. I've tried transferring via the app and direclty from the SD card yet the problem persists.

Oh boy! Just be curious - Are you in timezone GMT -5 ? I just want to get clear what makes this issue. Could it be "video shot time" + "timezone difference from GMT" = video shot time shown on Google photos.
For my situation the formula would be (Latvia, GMT+3 on DST) : 5PM + (GMT+3) = 8PM (20:00 on the previous post)
Now in wintertime the time difference on gopro files and Google photos is the same as GMT time (+2)
For you - 7PM + (GMT-5) = 2PM
Where's the coincidence?
Is the issue generated depending in which time zone the GoPro video are uploaded?
Sorry for my English.

Hey @mariustanya, any update? It's been 6 months and this still seems to be an issue, or at least a similar issue is happening with my Hero7 Black.

Hey, I found a solution to my situation: I bought a MicroSD USB reader and uploaded from PC to Google photos. Finally, there are no more differences in shot time shown in GP and GoPro.

hope it helps you!

cheers
