Set Up The Date & Time Stamp On A Camera

Many digital cameras will print the date on each photo taken.


Digital cameras are good at remembering dates that people don't. Digital cameras have the ability to mark the date and time on each picture created. Cameras can do this in one of two ways: they can actually stamp the date and time in the lower corner of each picture created or they can hide the date and time in the metadata attached to each image file. Changing the date and time and setting the date-stamp function is done the same way on most brands of cameras.


Instructions


1. Press the camera's "Menu" button to reach the various options available.


2. Use the camera's navigation arrows to scroll until you see a "Set Up" menu. This is where most digital cameras store the date and time option.


3. Choose "Date and Time."


4. Use the navigation arrows to change the date and time, if needed. Then press the "OK" button.


5. Return to the "Set Up" menu. Scroll to the "Date Imprint" or "Date Stamp" option and use the navigation arrows to turn on the feature.
