Date display in photos in IXUS40

The date display option can come from your camera or the software programme you use to view. Start with the software and disable the date & time display function. If this doesn't work then go into the camera menu and in the display setting change the date & time to either disable or none.

Firstly, set time and date in the camera:
1. Display MENU.
2. Click on each of the tabs until youfind a dropdown with Date/Time on it.
3. Click on this and follow the prompts.
4. On completion press OK. The date and time will be effective from the time you press OK.
I am not aware of any Canon camera that does enable the entering of time/date on all images.
However, it is recorded in the EXIF data that all digital cameras record with every image.
You can use ZoomBrowser - a software program that comes on the CD with Canon Cameras - to write the date/time on selected images. The date and time written will be the actual date and time the image was recorded on your camera i.e. the date and time you took the photo.
With the image open you should be able to find the time/date option.

Are you sure your canon battery pack is OK?If not ,replace it with a high quality replacement battery pack.

Basically the date stamp can be turned on / off as an option on the RECORD menu. Page 33 of the manual explains it (with pictures).

Note that if the option is turned on, it states that the date / time is permanently embedded in the picture.

Hope this helps

The date and time are always saved as part of the image file. You can turn off the date display on the image in the Menu system. Select the shooting menu (icon of a camera silhouette) and look for the Date Stamp option, change it to "Off".

The date stamp only works in "Postcard" resolution. Press the "Func Set" button, then scroll down to the bottom to select postcard resolution. Then press the menu button. Select the "Camera" menu, then scroll down to the the Date Time Stamp selection to turn it on.

Unfortunately, the camera embeds the time and date into the image itself so once it is there the only way to remove it is with photo editing software. This would take some skill with the software to take out the time/date and make the photo look natural.

If you want to give this a go try the free software at getpaint.net. I suggest looking at the "clone stamp" feature and reading the manual on the help menu from inside the software so you know how to use it.

You have to select 'Postcard' for the image size -- on the same menu as L, M1, M2, M3, S, Postcard.

You want to go to the SETUP menu and select the PRINT menu. Then select the PRINT SETTINGS. Then choose the SET button. You can now use the arrow buttons to scroll up and down until you see the DATE option. This is where you can set this option to ON (which will add the date to the photos you want to print).

You can see the exact instructions on page 137 of the User's Manual here from the Canon website. http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0900009893/PowerShotS5IS_CUGad_EN.pdf
