1. A digital camera comprising:
- a user interface;
processing circuitry coupled to the user interface;
a plurality of predetermined profiles stored in the camera; and
firmware that runs on the processing circuitry that processes geographic location and time data entered into the camera to select one of the profiles based upon the geographic location and time data.

Abstract
Digital cameras and methods that employ location and time data to automatically select and/or adjust stored profiles used when taking photographs at different geographic locations. The digital camera comprises a user interface that is coupled to processing circuitry. A plurality of predetermined profiles are stored in the camera. Firmware is configured to run on the processing circuitry and process geographic location and time data entered into the camera, such as by way of the user interface, for example, to select one or more profiles based upon the geographic location and time data that were entered.
