SOURCE: Date stamp
In order to use the date stamp option, the image size (L, M1, M2, M3, S, Postcard) has to be set to Postcard. Press the Func/Set button, scroll down to the image size icon (lower left corner), then scroll over to Postcard, and press the Func/Set button again.

OK, I FOUND SOME INFO ON A WEBSITE THAT I'M GOING TO HOTLINK FOR YOU. SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN DATE/TIME STAMP A PHOTO IS TO HAVE THE CAMERA IN THE POSTCARD MODE. YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS IN THE WEBSITE I'VE LINKED FOR YOU. HOPE THIS SOLVES YOUR QUESTION, AND IF YOU NEED MORE HELP, REPLY TO:ARCLIGHT1217. IF THIS HELPS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE THIS SOLUTION. THANKS!

An online review says the date stamp only works in the "postcard" image format. http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd850-review/

SOURCE: date stamp will not show on my camera
I found the solution o-line. All I had to do was switch the camera to the 'postcard' mode and instant presto, I was able to access the date stamp mode. I want to express my thanks to the (I don't remember who) person who posted the solution.

When you turn your camera on, there is a screen which appears in the viewfinder. Push the FUNC SET button and then scroll down the column on the left of your viewfinder until you come to the one with the letters M1 M2 M3 S, etc to the right. Then select the one called "Postcard 1600x1200" by scrolling to the right. Your camera is then in the post card mode. You can then go to the date stamp in the menu and your camera will not skip over it any longer! EUREKA!!
1Press Menu/Set, 0, 2.
2 Enter the last two digits of the year. Press Menu/Set.
3 Enter two digits for the month. Press Menu/Set.
(For example, enter 09 for September, or 10 for October.)
4 Enter two digits for the day. Press Menu/Set.
(For example, enter 06 for 6th.)
5 Enter the time in 24-Hour format. Press Menu/Set.
(For example, enter 15:25 for 3:25 P.M.)
6 Press Stop/Exit.
The LCD now shows the date and time whenever the machine is idle in Fax mode.
When the machine is in Sleep mode, the LCD shows Sleep. (See Sleep Time on page 2-8.)
Hopefully that worked correctly and solved your problem!
