Want to know can I set date and time

Try setting the picture resolution to "Postcard" (1200 pixels width). Then try turning the date/time stamp on. For Canon's, this feature is only available for use in this lowered resolution. Have no idea why they designed it that way.

Believe it or not, the time/date battery has expired and is the cause of this problem for the S400/410. Unfortunately this little button battery is located inside your camera. Fortunately Canon will fix this for free. Please see the Canon advisory at this link.

Email support on canonuk web site. Fill in the details required on form. This is a faultthat canon are aware about and will repair free of charge even out of warranty.

Switch on the cameraPress MENU at the back You will 2 icons. One for camera and other for tools. Select tools settings
Scroll down to Date & Time settings. Press Set/Function. Change the date and time as per our time zone. Press again Set/Function. For display of date Select camera icon and on the drop down menu select display. By pressing the function key select the date /date and time. Press Set. The camera is set. Whenever you view picture it will display the date and time

Image size (L, M1, M2, M3, S, Postcard) must be set to Postcard. Then make sure that on the Record menu Date Stamp is set to Date or Date/Time.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check this link for more info.

Applicable cameras include: A40, A60, A70, A75, A80, A85, A95, A300, A310, S1 IS, S60, S200, S230, S330, S400, S410, S500, SD100, SD110, IXUS V2/300/400/430/500, IXY Digital 30/30a/200a/300a/D320/400/ 450/500

Look for an option named as "Date Stamp" and turn this feature On in the settings/setup on your camera.

You'll need to check your owner's manual for directions for turning that feature off. As for the pictures that already have the date on them, Photoshop Elements or any similar photo editing software can easily remove them. Also, if the date is near enough to the edge of the photo, you might be able to just crop it out.

Do you have the Camera User Guide~~~It tells you how to set it on p37

or
I found this on the Camera User Guide

steps
1.press the function/setting button
2.on the left side,there's a column displaying various features, and then you go to select the very last one, and then it will displays more options for you to choose(L,M1,M2,M3,S, postcard,etc), and then "postcard" is the one you should choose.
3.After that, go to "menu", go down to the very bottom on the option list, you will see that the "Date Stamp" is being set "off", go there and choose other options (date/date and time). This is how you can display time on the pictures.

Greetings bpm123,

My suggestion is to simply turn the date time stamp off in the setup menu. In reviewing the instruction manual, it appears you can obtain instructions on how to do this starting on page 21.

I hope this helps!

Thank you,
