Problem with Displayed Date

mjschocken — Sat, 29 Apr 2017 00:14:41 GMT

My wife has a Powershot SX60 and the date keeps reverting to January 1, 1980. We can reset it but every time she turns the camera off, the date reverts to 1/1/1980. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like it could be a battery problem. Check the manual to see if there is a separate battery, just for the clock, too. Otherwise, a call to Canon Service may be needed. 1-800-OK-CANON.

Hi Mjschocken,

From your description, the built-in backup battery in your wife's camera will require service to correct this issue.
