My camera all of a sudden resets to the default date when I change batterys. Is there another battery I can change to fix this? and if so where is it???
Your camera doesn't have internal battery so everytime you change the battery it will ask you to set the date...

It is really NORMAL that the date will be reset to the Manufacturer's date whenever you are changing batteries.
For you not to keep on changing the date and time of your camera, use Rechargeable batteries for a longer battery life span but make sure that you will be setting the battery type of your camera for the Rechargeable ones.
To set the correct battery type.
- Press on MENU button
- Press on the right button until you see SETUP 2
- Scroll down until you see BATTERY TYPE
- Select ALKALINE if you're using NON-RECHARGEABLE
- Select Ni-MH if you're using RECHARGEABLE
- Press on OK/MENU button for changes to be saved
Turn off camera after the settings
have been changed to refresh the camera.

Have since talked to customer support at Kodak. They tell me it does have an internal power storage source that is maintained thru the main battery. It is supposed to hold the time and date around 20 minutes or so once the battery and or power is removed or depleted. This part has a limited life and must be replaced at the factory, Since the camera is 3 years old, it will cost $100.00 flat fee to change this little part plus shipping. This is totally unacceptable. I'm going to look for another brand that doesn't have this kind of setup. That is just plain wrong..
Thanx for your input tho. Appreciate it.
