How do I get my Canon camera to imprint the date and time on my photos.I can download the photos with the date and time underneath but not on the photos.

The camera settings menu should give you the choice whether you want to imprint the date or not. However did you know that digital photos have an invisible exif data file attached to them. It gives you information about the camera model, date, time, exposure etc etc. Some photo viewers like irfanview can show you this file and you need not spoil your photos with a date imprint. ( depending on what they are an imprint can be useful or distracting) .

From the manual:

This camera does not allow you to insert the shooting date into an image while shooting (date stamping). However you can use the following method to imprint the date while printing.

• Set with the camera's Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) function. Set [Date] option to [On] in [Print Settings] in the Print menu.
• Connect the camera to a printer and imprint the date. See the Direct Print User Guide.
• Insert a memory card into the printer and imprint the date. See your printer user guide.
• Use the supplied software. See the Software Starter Guide.

there's only one mode where you can superimpose the date and time with pictures using your camera. try to use Postcard mode and then check under mode menu if date stamp is set to either date or date and time.

The EOS range does not automatically "imprint" the date/time on the images. Being digital, most of the information can be found in the EXIF data anyway. If you want to print the photos with the date at the corner, I believe ZoomBrowser EX has that function. ZoomBrowser came with your camera amongst a few other CDs (eg Adobe Photoshop Elements, DPP etc)

In order to imprint the date stamp on photos, the photo size (L, M1, M2, M3, S, Postcard) must be set to Postcard, and in the recording menu the "Date Stamp" option must be set to Date or Date & Time.

This will always be displayed in your camera. However to choose what will imprint on the pix :

Turn your dial to SETUP and select DATE IMPRINT. Then select OFF (nothing will imprint on pix), or DATE (for just the date to be imprinted), or DATE and TIME (for both time and date to be imprinted)

Set the image size to 'postcard'. Press the Function key, scroll down to the bottom icon and select postcard (L, M1, M2, S, postcard). Press Function key again.

To turn the date imprint on, go to the Record menu and set the option for Date Stamp to Date or Date & Time.

I'm with you on this one. The date information is in the EXIF metadata on each photo whether or not you imprint the date/time on the image. There is software available (some free) that will render the date/time on a reproduction of the image. So why make the camera imprint it and ruin what might be an artistic shot?

To disable date imprint, enable the camera as if to take a photo. Press the MENU button, then scroll to the SETUP MENU and press in on the joystick.Scroll up or down to the DATE STAMP option and press in on the joystick. Select OFF.
