Hey, thanks for nice api, one question. why if i setup

theta "--set-property=0x5011 --val=20210814T000000"

my camera ricoh theta z1 doesn't react and show a random hour, the day is kinda fine, but +9h

I don't work for RICOH. I'm just a guy with a camera. The format of the date may be different. try run a getOption to see what the format is on the Z1.

try run ptpcam --show-property=0x5011

If you have reset the camera, the datetime, will go back to the original date from the factory.

Try running dateTimeZone as a single option. There was a problem reported with the webAPI in the community a few years ago when multiple options were combined with dateTimeZone.

Hi,

I tested with gphoto2 library, and works fine for THETA Z1.

% gphoto2 --set-config 5011=20210814T000000
% gphoto2 --get-config 5011
Current: 20210814T000002-0000

If you want to set timezone setting (e.g. +01:00) as well, you can set the value like 20210814T000000+0100.
