Model SX160IS camera won't hold date/time in memory.

[montel]

I have a Model SX160IS that won't hold any memory of date/time.  New batteries didn't help.  I go through the setup procedure and all looks well. And if the camera is not switched OFF,  I get the date entered on the pictures taken.  But as soon as the camera is switched OFF,  date/time is lost.

Your Date and Time battery is dead you need to change it

It is a CR1220 button battery

Thanks for this help.  I didn't know about this battery.  I was changing the camera-operation batteries.  Yes, the CRl220 button battery has been located and measured 0.5v (instead of 3v).  I feel sure that when I find a replacement that this tip is going to correct my problem.  Thank you.
