Losing date and time: Has anyone else had that problem?
1375425
I have been experiencing the EXACT same problem with my Canon A590IS since Nov. 2008. I replaced the lithium, button cell (not cheap or easy to find) and still have an occasional loss of date and time. My guess is the pull out battery carrier the button cell sits in is poorly designed allowing the cell to momentarily lose contact and thus require a reset. There have been at least a couple of complaints about this problem in the 590 reviews.

There is no date on mine either. It is not an issue to me, but might be of concern to others.

I can only see the date for a very short time by pushing the top button. Couldn't find a way to make it stay on. Let me also say that in certain lighting, the display is unreadable.

That's what I sue mine for. I had a lot a date stored on old ZIP disk with no way retrieving it.Hope this helps,Art Giberson

yes there is, but the time and date is not accurate at first, once it syncs to your computer it becomes correct

I'm sure they do. I remember settings for time, date, etc. Don't know if I used them.

when I changed the time and date I followed a youtube video showing step by step. Try that, good luck.

Yes. If you have set your date and time on the device, the file will have the date/time in the file properties. (However, if you copy and paste/resave it elsewhere, later, you may see the Modified date/time on the file.

You should check your time settings. The stick will not keep the current time if rebooted, so it should be configured to download the network time. Mine kept coming up with January 1st, 1970.

Actually, we ended up sending it back because we could never get the time setting right. Sorry, I don't remember if it announced the day or not.

I figured - not an easy time clock to find. Thank you so much for the information! I really appreciate your help.

That is odd, I set the date once and that is it, good luck, hope you get it all figured out.
