Not necessarily. I have heard there’s a big push in the House to stay on standard time year-round, which makes more sense to me.
Just yesterday in Indianapolis three school children in various parts of the city were hit by cars (two died) while they were waiting at bus stops in the dark. Just a few days ago it would have been daylight and the accidents probably would have been avoided.

And a month earlier they were in the dark as well.
Blame the driver NOT the dark.

I don't change mine because it is not important to me whether or not I took the photo at 2:00 pm or 3:009 pm.

I change mine because I like to know what time I took a photograph. Now that I think of it, that's a really dumb reason!

I keep mine set on the correct time. It was needed a few times esp a drowning case.

I agree with picking one time and sticking with it, but I would have picked Standard Time. It's when the sun is overhead at noon (or as close as it gets/local apparent noon).
It's always annoyed me that on the many roads in our area that run East/West, you get the rising/setting sun in your eyes. Change the time and you get to do it all over again, which I think is a significant driving hazard.

Since I use the Julian calendar, I don't have to address this weighty issue. 
MDI - No offense intended but doesn't the Julian calendar merely number the days in a year? I don't know how it relates to DST or whatever time of day it is.

"It’s happened: On Tuesday, the US Senate voted unanimously to make daylight saving time permanent beginning in 2023. Perhaps the unambiguous results were influenced by the fact that most of us just turned clocks forward on Sunday, and the disruptiveness of it is probably on lawmakers’ minds. "

This seems a strange way of affirming an act by asking for no debate and not submitting it to a committee for hearings. As it turns out, much of the rest of the world also follows some form of daylight-saving time. So, are we just going to do this on our own and forget about international cooperation?
BTW, what used to be referred to as GMT is now generally replaced by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) usually referred to simply as UT (Universal Time). The change to URC began in the 1969;s Check out:

And some time standards services report "Advanced Universal Time" during the period that daylight time is in effect.
By the way...the US was on permanent DST for several years during the energy crisis in the 1970s. As I recall, pretty much everyone hated it. Drive-in theaters during the summer, everyone else during the winter. I wasn't around, but I'm told that the US also followed daylight savings time nationally during WWII. Not sure if that was year round or just during the "summer half" of the year.

You're right except that the dates are out of synch for the switch from standard to daylight saving time. BTW I use a sundial too.

Hello Hoggers,
I'm wondering how many change the camera time setting to Daylight Savings vs just leaving it in standard time?

I usually check and reset the date and time as necessary when I pull out one of my cameras to do some shooting. Also since it can be a while between uses for any particular camera, I also pull the battery which tends to necessitate running through the setup menu.

Personally, I think this is the wrong approach. If DST is valuable all year, change the definition of E/C/M/PST. We don't want Daylight Saving all year. We want a STANDARD.
So just add an hour to E/C/M/PST. Or a half hour. Or 37.44 minutes. Whatever. Just make it a standard.

If you are not going to change it, consider which setting to use permanently. Standard time currently goes from around the beginning of the second week in November to the around the beginning of the second week in March. That means we are on ST for only four months a year and DST for eight months a year. If you prefer not to change it seasonally, it therefore makes sense to leave it set to DST.

Whichever one it's left on, that should be the standard.
