Can't get the date to show on the picture... i set the date but can't get it to appear on the actual picture...

On digital cameras, the data is stored with the filename. Check the back of your prints to see if the dates were not printed there. Most companies do put at least the date information on the back of the prints as well as any other metadata stored with the file produced by the digital camera. Unlike film cameras, which could only record the date by actually putting it on the picture, digital pictures contain metadata that can include things such as people tags, location tags (geotagging), etc. depending upon the capabilities of your camera. The date and time is always stored along with the filename on all digital cameras. If the company that printed your pictures did not include the date on the back of the picture, ask them if they can do it or find another source to print your pictures that can.

If this did not address your issue, please reply with any amplifying information so that I may more accurately address your issue.

I hope this helped!

The time it took the picture? You want to know if the camera will show the time it took the picture using the self timer?

My answer is Yes and No.

Do you have your camera set to showing the date and time on the pictures now? If you do, then using the self timer would not change anything.

If you do have it set to showing on the picture and you don't want the date and time to show then change the setting on the menu function of the camera and turn this option off.

If you do not already have the camera set to show the date and time, using the self timer option is not going to make it suddenly appear.

After reading the manual it appears there isn't a way to imprint date on picture. There may be a firmware up date that will allow that.

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

Once the date is stamped onto a picture, there is nothing that can be done to restore the pixels hidden behind it. There are retouching procedures to erase the dates, but the hidden pixels are gone forever.

The date and time plus a lot more information is stored with each picture as "metadata". It can be retrieved in most photo editing programs. After downloading to your computer, if you just right-click on a picture file, the date and time will appear.

no you cannot edit the date imprint within the camera once its been clicked. you can just turn that setting off so that the date dosnt show up on the picture or change the date in your camera & click pictures again to your desired date

You have to go through the main menus and select time and date. and tell it only date.

You can embed the date on image data when (Postcard) is selected. The date will be printed on your images even if it has not been set at the computer or printer.
