I have just recieved my camera, it came with no instructions. I figured most of the fuctions, but how do you change the date, or delete it.

Insert the microSD card into your PC and create a file named time.txt in the root folder. Then edit the file with Notepad.exe; specify the current date and time in 24-hour format, like this - 2014.01.07 13:59:59

I wish I could answer that AlanM. I installed it however I was replacing an existing camera so everything was already in place. If you haven't already maybe contact the seller to see if they can help.

I haven't done this yet, but I seem to remember that nikon always required updates to go thru computer interface such as USB. You would down load it to computer, plug in camera and startup the downloaded problem and then it would update camera.

You need to download the large, large, manual. I am very disappointed with this camera. I just learned in the last 24 hours that you are supposed to take the battery out when not in use. I didn't know this and wanted to tape something in a hurry only to find the battery dead. It was charged when I put it away. I had to read all about charging. I will look into returning this camera!!

Hokman, you can show date/time on the pictures. On this particular camera, you would push the "menu" button. You will see two tabs on the screen. One will contain a "camera" icon and the other will contain a "tools" icon. Toggle to the "camera" using the right/left button. The camera should be highlighted in yellow. Now scroll down using the up/down button until you come to "Date Stamp." Immediately to the right of the words "Date Stamp" you should be able to see whether or not your Date Stamp is "off"; set for Date Only--"Date" or set for "Date & Time". Choose the setting you desire using the right/left button. Press "menu" button to save settings. I hope that helps. Hokman, you can show date/time on the pictures.

Yes, follow these steps: Take Picture mode, tap Menu, the menu with the image of the camera, select it with delete key (down) date stamp on.

WOW!!! Thank you for that! I missed taking pictures at a concert and my work Christmas party this weekend!! So pissed about this that I could have just turned the battery around! All I can say is wow....Now I'm wondering if I should keep the camera or not. Hopefully this is all that is wrong with it. It's such a pain to return..exchange..whatever. Thanks for your help!

I had a coupon for a free DVD to be made by my Point and Shoot,(FlipVideo's first name) and the machine that makes the DVD is supposed to correct the date in your camera. The DVD is $15.00 without the coupon, so you might want to contact company support to see if there's another way. They're fast in responding, and they were very helpful with my problem, but it was a different problem.

There is a date stamp. It's not something I use much but I can always tell the date as long as card is still in the camera. Once you dump photos onto hard drive, I think you'd have to catalogue by date.

Thanks much! Good advise! It was/is very consternating for me to find straight forward instructions for the camera, like it was done in the 1980s, when I got my first computer.

you are better off throwing it away. I have done this type of work for years and it is not worth it. I bought a battery for it to replace mine and I waited to open the camera until I received the battery. Got the battery and opened the camera.. VERY difficult to do then to find out I was sent the wrong battery. so a lot of little parts that now had to be put aside...the amount of energy is not worth the cost of a better camera.

first things first, be sure that it's in auto mode. There's also a manual focus mode. To check all your settings, simply swipe the shutter button up, you'll see the manual setting sliders. Check if the focus slider rests in auto mode. If it is not, slide all the way to your left, and leave it there. If this is not the case, check for the updates. First you gotta be sure that you're running the latest version of both the OS and the camera app. If no updates available, try to uninstall and install the camera app again. If nothing works, could be a hw problem. Let me know how it goes. Cheers.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

Now I'm guessing here, so keep that in mind with this answer. The camera may be looking for the Easy Share software on your machine, if you installed it. Not finding it, it tells you to wait. Frankly, I didn't like that software so I took it off my machine and simply download the photos and edit them elsewhere. Of course, you will need periodically to hook the camera up to charge the battery. Also, you can download the manual and go through it for other ideas.

Press the menu button three times(the first button from the left on the top of the camera)this brings up the settings menu, scroll down to Date Set, press the triangle button once(third button from the left on the top of the camera), use the up and down buttons to adjust the date and time. Press the menu button to move to the right to the next field to be adjusted. Then to save the correct time and date press the Triangle button again.
