I have no idea what you mean. Is there a question here?

The date and time are embedded in the Exif data of the image. You can see it with the proper info display on playback.

You have to set the Display to show shooting information then you will see the date and time, page 114 of your user manual.

The manual that came with it only goes page 90 in english , The online goes to 186 ,& on page 114 allin talks about is the WIFI & connecting via NFC when playing back. I think my ole one had a display where you just put the date or the date & the time or just turn it off . this one does not have a display on it . I think it just some thing simple in missing .Thanks

If we are talking about the SX540HS there are 423 pages in the full manual. Here is a link to the manual on the Canon website, download it and make it your best friend there is a lot of information in it.

You can no longer stamp the date and time onto the image itself. That is one of those features that is disappearing. The date and time are embedded into the EXIF metadata.

Right-click on a photo you've taken then select "Properties"....that where the EXIF data is EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format.
