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?

Because it can happen and it happened. I do not use camera every day. But only two days?!! And lost settings? Not in my old G10. Does anybody know Canon spec on how long internal battery must keep settings?
We do manufacture electronic equipment that has internal backup battery. It can loose time/date settings if sitting on shelf for one year. We would have a big trouble if it was keeping settings only for few days.

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
