Does it have manual focus and a date stamp? Thank You.

I believe it does have manual focus (haven't dug in to deep yet), and the auto focus is just a tad bit slower than expected (barely noticeable). It does have a date stamp option with multiple choices. If you want to try a hands on, most Best Buys currently carry it, but it's usually full price (possible price match).

No, they don't send a manual, and there are several steps to change the settings. It uses a auto-type function and decided itself what it thinks should be used. I would NOT recommend this camera, I had two in 18 months have the same "lens error" issue and canon refused to cover the second one since they only give a one year warranty on the first and a 30 day warranty on the second. They told me it would be a $71.99 standard repair fee for this camera. Buy a Sony or Nikon.

It does. It has, like many, a "flower" setting which allows you to get right up close. Exactly how close I'm not sure. The technical specs probably tell you how close you can get before autofocus doesn't work. (which is what happens when you get too close)

No the pictures are not date stamped. That feature is generally for more expensive cameras. However, I have been more than pleased with the quality of the pictures.

No, it does not. Not having this & Manual Focus is about the only things that make this a "Bridge" camera instead of a dirt cheap DSLR IMHO...

yes. there is a manual focus option. I played with a couple times but don't love it (but I'm used to a DSLR and manual focus)

No manual focus like a camera lens. However, the auto focus does well. The clarity is also good out around maybe 10-15 feet from the camera.

Yes it does, just remember that this is a manual lens, no electronic connection, no auto focus!!

Not sure I understand your question, but if you are asking, does the stamp have a band for day of the week in addition to month, day and year, the answer is no. You could, of course, use the Do-It-Yourself feature to set the day of the week on the fixed part of the stamp, but then you would either have to reset the type every day, or have a bunch of these stamps (one for each day).

No. But it does have a date/time stamp. Fits easily in your pocket. Has lots of recording time. And the recordings are vety clear. It works perfect for what we use it for.

I haven't look into that date/time feature. The photos are horrible, by the way, but I like the camera and recommend it.

no, it does not auto date and stamp pictures.....every time I use my camera I keep a running record of when I took a picture so when they are printed out I can type a label for them....hope this helps

I am not sure but I would be surprised if it didn't. It will not autofocus. I never use any "auto settings" so I don't know what works and what doesn't in terms of electronic features. They me closer focus and that's all I wanted. Based on my usage they are great.
