Sony ILX-LR1 due to the lack of RTC which causes the camera to sometimes reset language, date, and time settings. For those that this happens to this is the fix to solve this issue.
The error has been corrected by installing WGC 1.7.2 or higher. With the ILX-LR1 payload selected, there will be an option on the same tab (PAYLOADS) where you can press “Reset Time/Time” followed by the focus button (infinity looking symbol at the bottom right corner when viewing the camera display). The WGC change log can be found here: WISPR Ground Control and WISPR Flight Firmware Release Changelog
