Great little camera, but I can hardly read the instruction booklet and it is not very helpful. For instance: How do I up date the time and date?

David Montgomery asked Set the date by: Press the Menu Key to enter, use UP / DOWN to select the date / time position, press OK Key to confirm, use UP / DOWN setting, OK key to confirm the next setting, press the Menu Key to exit after completion, auto-save is completed. Best regards! Daisy

Press MENU twice that will take you to settings. Use the down arrow to scroll to date/time, hit OK USE ARROWS & OK buttons to set date & time. Good luck

Dear David Montgomery You choose whether only during shooting to display the date and time, There are settings in the menu can be adjusted independently of a date and time, Best regards! Daisy

Good little camera ...but I liked my C713 better...much simpler and easy to oprerate, suppose it will be better when I learn how...but right now ....don't have time to sit around reading how to operate it...when I can still use my C713[much better on c;loseups'...but I dropped it and broke the batterie compartment door and I now have to scotch tape it closed to use!

I do not have this camera any longer, my son destroyed it (he's 2) and i replaced it with a Pentax Optio S1 which is just as good, if not better than the original. I would be honest about the camera, its best not to conceal the truth. Let her know you would like to replace the lost camera for her with something comparable.

You will need to go to camara settings and almost at the last option in the list is date and time. You are able to adjust time zone also...

Thank you for the tip.I like the camera very much, great zoom, it also has facial recognition.If you get it, one little note, make sure the rec, is on when your recording.I believe I hit it too quick when I put the camera on, and it did not register.Yes I did not record a whole chunk that I thought I did.Wish you the best with your camera stuff.

Dear Connie, the easyest way is to take the batery out, wait some minutes and then, reinsert it and push the turnon/of button. The first dat the camera will ask is right the date. The other way is to press the menu button and search for the Date & time settings. Good luck!

Call the tech support, they were really helpful and will configure your camera for you and also answer any questions you may have. Hope this helps, Mark

Thanks for this info. Not many people use the GPS and so you are the first to input on it. I have ordered a couple more batteries. I will need the GPS alot. I just hope I can figure it out once I get the camera. Stormy

I just bought this camera recently and I'm guessing the answer is no. I've been trying to figure out a way to get the date on and it's just not possible. This is like the 4th camera I've bought for myself and I'm a little disappointed that I can't put the dates on. But all in all it's still a good camera.

Hey Andy, sorry you are having trouble. While I'm not sure how old you are, or your abilities... I would highly encourage you to get a book on Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects. The books are made in a decent tutorial format, and would help your style of learning. PS. this camera comes with literally nothing additional, no cable, no instructions, no nothing. There are better cameras out there for the beginner.

Oh gosh I wish I could help. I don't even have the same computer anymore, so I no longer have the zip file. I do remember spending 2 days to get it straightened out. I would buy a new camera before going through that again. I see some good deals on newer cameras. Good luck!!

Not sure anymore. This was my first camera I purchased and don't have reference to the menu or instructions anymore. I would set it at its highest setting and work down from there. I now purchased a dual camera cam and like it much better. Nothing wrong with the one you bought, I burnt mine up with the wrong cord, my bad.

Software is included. It was either on a disk or built into the camera, can't remember... you'll login to the system over your local network and set it up.as far as updating firmware or software, I have had zero luck. If you figure it out please post

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

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.

Love the camera but I do find it a little cheap on Panasonic's part to exclude a printed manual. The CD is informative but I always like to have a manual in the field so I can refer to it and do some experimenting with all the features offered by this camera. My only complaint though.
