SX60 HS - how long keep settings without main battery

[Blokhi]

SX60 HS doesn't keep date/time settings and seems other setting too when main battery is taken out for recharge. How long camera must keep settings without main battery? I have sent camera for repair, got refirbished with the same problem - memory loss.

Should I continue sending camera for warranty repair until Canon will do something reasonable? Or retun money for that camera?

Thank you

No it wasn't in the car. I understand effect of cold on a battery. Still should not be that strong. On Kilimajaro camera and batteries were with me in sleeping bag overnight, temperature in the tent was below freezing.

I think that replacement camera has default setting when came from Canon. I will check with WiFi and without. It will take some time. In a while I will still use my G10 that prooved to be very reliable. But not good for making shots of resting black rhino in Ngoro Ngora crater from a long distance. SX60 was good at that, even without tripoid on maximum zoom.

Thank you. I  have't wait for three weeks, but checked in few hours, in one day, in three days - still have correct Date/Time .

Means that you are rif=ght - not a chronoc problem. But now refurbished camera have not that silent lense movement compare to my original camera. Beware of high zoom. I new that but couldn't find something that I would love: compact and versatile like my G10, but zoom ~20, have viewfinder and AA battery powered. Sure large CMOS sensor.

Thanks again
