Time zone and time on Nikon d3000

This is driving me bonkers and yes I have searched for an answer. At one time I had my time set to regular time, but it now shows military time. It does this every time there is a time change. How do you set it for standard time? I have gone through all the times zones and just can't get it. The manual online just says to go to the local time zone. My leaflet that came with the camera says the same. When I google it, it says that I'm stuck with military time, but I'm pretty sure at one time it had standard time on it. Help?

Here's my WAG:

You'll have to determe the actual step by step process.
Set hours
Set minutes
Choose AM or PM - NOT 24HR

That's what I did on my car's clock.

Good luck.

Or, chat with Nikon Support on line.

With all due respect if I could find a choice of am, pm, or anything other than 24 hour I would choose it. I can set the time in my car.

I too a look at my D3100, which is only one generation newer and there is no setting to change between 12 and 24 hour time format. I find this interesting because I then went to LR and looked at some shots that I took the other afternoon and the metadata shows the time in 12 hr format.

You might look at the XMP file if it is a RAW file or EXIF data for this line:
exif:DateTimeOriginal="2016-03-05T10:26:16.60"
See how that line is formatted. Compare that to one of the older files that you say had it correct.

I don't know what you use for PP work, I know you can create a preset in LR to change this. So perhaps you're not using that preset or something.

Just learn how to use a 24 hour dial.

Thanks for the comments. I did read the manual before I came here to ask. Guess I will just learn to live with it.
