yes, I am working with for a timestamp on a FireWire Camera (MARLIN CAMERA)
Unfortunately no  free software can timestamp frame withouth data loss.
My camera is unable to carry out  an atuomatic timestamp (it is and old version).
Thank you for info

A small Netbook PC locked to a good local NTP server should be able to 
achieve that.  Your local NTP server can be locked to GPS (ideally) or to 
the Internet.

GPS devices:

The PC's screen refresh rate would be marginal for 1/00s, though.  Perhaps 
1/20s is more realistic.

If 1/10s is good enough, there are applications like Emerald Time for your 
iPad/iPhone:

Are you actually trying to timestamp a video recording or light-level 
reading?  Or time pressing a button?

Cheers,
