Losing date and time: Has anyone else had that problem?
1375425
I have been experiencing the EXACT same problem with my Canon A590IS since Nov. 2008. I replaced the lithium, button cell (not cheap or easy to find) and still have an occasional loss of date and time. My guess is the pull out battery carrier the button cell sits in is poorly designed allowing the cell to momentarily lose contact and thus require a reset. There have been at least a couple of complaints about this problem in the 590 reviews.

it's simple.......you can't!!! the date and time is automatically synchronized with the GPS, the only thing you can do is set the time zone.

I have not been able to change the time from the 24 hour clock to the 12 hour am/pm clock. Maybe someone else can?

I have not. My date has been pushed back two times, Amazon's CS can never give me a exact date, been in contact with them 4 times. :(

Yes prints date and time. Only problem I have is it doesnt switch over the date at end of month to new month

No, I never tried to sync the time. But I thought it was a function of the camera to request a time. My time is all in the DVR. My cameras only supply the picture.

Thanks, A. Gray. I decided to contact customer service, too. I really wanted a printable reference for the times. Much to my surprise, they sent me an email with a spreadsheet table, listing all the times. And they responded in less than four hours. Incredible. I have to wonder, as do you, why the times aren't included in this manual. In looking back through their previous models' manuals (available online) I see the times listed in most all the ones I looked through. This seems like an oversight on their part. Perhaps it will be corrected with the next printing.

That is an easy fix. It happened to me when I first got the phone. You need to change the date and time setting on the menu to manual instead of by caller id. I'm pretty sure that will resolve your issue.

Shows time, but no date. Setup menu allows you to set the 'DAY' (i.e. Tuesday), but I don't see it on the display anywhere.

Check the switch under the time wheel. It may be stuck so as not moving when the time-wheel gets to it it stalls.

No! Memory is preserved for zones However this is useless because the current time/date has no backup and is lost

There is no date on mine either. It is not an issue to me, but might be of concern to others.

Never figured it out, having the same problem you are. Mine has the wrong date and time. If find out let me know.

I have not had any problems with the date and time changing. I set it once when I first got the camera and it is still accurate today. Pretty impressive, actually.

Sorry, no help here. However, if you received a CD with your unit, it may contain some Windows apps. Mine didn't but the manual did say that setting date/time was on a CD.

I don't remember because we returned it immediately since it couldn't keep the correct time.
