Sorry, don't know why Canon designed it this way, but it is only possible in "Postcard" resolution. This is true for all Canon models.

For those wishing to set their camera to include Date/Time stamp on the photos:
As mentioned, 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.

I have a Canon powershot A470 Digital Camera How can I remove the date stamp from appearing on the photo ?

Note that date/time stamp only works in the lower resolution (1200 pixel width) "postcard" mode. Press Func set, then change the picture resolution to anything other than postcard. Try one of the higher resolutions, you might be pleased with the improvement in picture quality.

I have taken only 8 snaps in my samsung L313 camera and for the next snap thr is a message as memory full... pls help me to come out of the problem

Hi, If you just bought the camera I'm betting you maybe didn't get a memory card yet, if this is so you will need to adjust the picture quality-the higher the mega pixels the more memory each shot takes-and working with just the internal memory alone that sounds like what is happening there. Just go into menu and select an" image size " that takes less space example: in menu one of the first things you may see are 12M,8M,6M,6M,etc.. ( when you successfully do this you should see an icon indicating how many pics you have left to shoot-this will increase and decrease according to image Size. I hope this helps, please comment back and thanks for asking FixYa, good luck prodzilla

126 tape only recording 30 min is there a speed setting for recording

Hello - YES the length of time depends more on quality of recording.
The lower the quality the longer the time - or - Better the quality then shorter the time.
Try going into Video settings and try either extreme.
My camera does 10m Pixel video in BEST and 3m Pixels in Normal - so there's a factor of 3 for time.

When I turn camera on to take picture, I get a screen that says "1M 423". It is set on "Auto" which is also indicated on the viewing screen. How do I fix it?

"1M" stands for 1 megapixel. The camera is set take pictures in 1280x960 pixels mode. To change this press the F button and select another mode. 6M is the highest quality, but will reduce the number of pictures, you can take before the card is full. "423" indicates available space on the card. This number gets lower as you increase quality.

We'd like to add "date stamp" to each picture taken with EX-Z57

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.

Pixel problem, all pictures taken have poor pixel resolution

It sounds like you set the file settings to a small file size - perhaps in order to get more photos on a single memory card. You need to change the setting to the largest file size possible, at the highest quality. The steps for this will be in your manual. If you need detailed instructions and don't have your manual, let me know and I'll lookup your manual online.

My pictures come out too small when downloaded!!

Instead of going to print size, you need to head to the quality tab of your camera. Here you will find the option for 640 x 480. This size is only good though for email quality. If you want a higher quality for printing images, you need to move that resolution up.

TIP: I myself have a casio camera and i take all my pictures at the highest availible quality. You can always reduce the file size on your computer, but you can never add quality. While it may take more space on my card, it is like the old saying about dressing warmly... you can always peel layers off....

NEED TO CHANGE PHOTO RESOLUTION

■ Number of pixels
Select a higher number of pixels for clearer
pictures when printing.
Select a lower number of pixels [ ] (0.3M
EZ) to store more pictures. Fewer pixels also
means it is easier to send pictures by e-mail
or use them on a homepage.
■ When the aspect ratio setting is
[h]
DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70
(7M)
3072 × 2304 pixels
DMC-LS60 only
(6M)
2816 × 2112 pixels
DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70
(5M EZ)
2560 × 1920 pixels
(3M EZ) 2048 × 1536 pixels
(2M EZ) 1600 × 1200 pixels
(1M EZ) 1280 × 960 pixels
(0.3M EZ) 640 × 480 pixels

on the menu I believe the Panasonic calls it aspect ratio

How do I set my camera to get higher resolution photos?

Hey there kbbate, if you use REC Mode you can choose the Recorded Pixels, and the Quality Level. 6m is the best available setting for the recorded pixels, and the quality level is default set to best, however you should check to ensure it's settings. Note: you cannot select Recorded pixels if the Quality level is set to Raw. Also Raw (3000x2008raw,3000x2000jpeg) would techniquely be the best setting for your purpose. You will just have to do the tweaking on the computer, rather than have the camera sort it out for you. Good Luck!

Changing the picture resolution

Turn on your camera.
Trun the switch on the top of the camera to AUTO.
Press the middle button right of the display (x/-).
Then you can first change the size (7M, 6M, 5M, 5M, 3M, 1M).
If you now use the circle button on the right bottom and on this button you press up or down you can change the quality (very fine, fine, normal).
You can change the size and quality if you press left/right on the circle button.
