Hi, when I change the battery in my SX60HS, it loses the time and date information. What's happening here?
Thanks,
Bob

Ummmm, the simple explanation is that the internal date/time battery is depleted, so it does not charge from the main battery. So you lose date/time instantly if the main battery is removed.
The FIX would be to have Canon replace the internal date/time battery, but like Tronhard said, that's not likely on this 10-year-old camera. You have to ask Canon.

We've already established that the SX60 HS does not have a user-replaceable battery.

I don't have the user manual 😕. I was given the camera without it.

All you need to do is change the CR1220 battery. It's usually right beside the regular battery port. I don't see a lot of people talking about this, but the CR1220 battery is what stores the date and time.
