When importing photos from my DJI micro SD card to Photos, the time and and date taken shows incorrectly in Photos. Example: A Photo was taken on January 24, 2025, 1:56 pm. Once imported to Photos, the date shows January 25, 2025, 3:56:05 am. It isn't even the time of the import. Does anyone else have this issue?

It sure sounds like a time zone thing. What country does your drone think it's in? You can use the free app "ExifTool Reader" to examine the metadata.
If you can't fix the drone, you can adjust the time in Photos with Image>Adjust Date & Time. If you select a bunch of pictures and enter the correction for the first one, it will adjust the rest by the same amount.

Never mind! It was indeed the time zone problem. By reading some posts on a DJI forum I was able to learn how to change the time zone which by default was set to China.
Thanks! Yes, It does look like a time zone issue, but you'd think the drone would use its GPS connection to pick the correct time zone. I cannot find anything in the drone manual about adjusting time and date.
I am aware that you can change the time and date in Photos manually, but it should happen automatically.
