how to make date stamp using PowerShot SX720 HS

[ScottyP]

The image file contains metadata that includes a date. I do not believe there is a way to make the date and time appear on the image. That was an old timey feature on old film cameras where the date was burned onto the film in camera.  It was definitely not something for nice photos only for snapshots.

Yes the time and date stamp is not a feature on that model Powershot or any I don't think.

Looks like the SX420IS does it:

The sx610 has The option of using the date stamp or not so if you want to take nice photos you do not have to use the date stamp. I am a home inspector and need the date stamp and just bought the 720 not realizing that is not an option so I will be returning that camera

I am also a Home Inspector and need date stamp, so will be sending back to Amazon.  Too bad, nice camera.  Simple, yet important feature.
