Delete date stamp - Vivitar Cameras

There is no way you can delete the date stamp from the photos you have taken.
For future photos you can either correct the date or disable insertion of date stamp.

The date stamp on the existing images can't be moved by the camera You can move them on computer by some software as PS

I'm afraid you can't delete the stamps from the photos you've taken already. That could be done only by a photo editing software on your computer, such as Adobe Photoshop.

To disable the time stamps for new photos, follow the steps shown here:


For more info, look at the User Guide.

I turned it on, and pressed the video/live recording button that was next to the trash/delete button. That is a whole other menu. After pressing the video/live recording button, I just went up to the first selection, "Program." That takes it off the basic/Q-Mode, which opens additonal options, like ISO and Date Stamp on/off. So basically:
1) Turn on, having the camera on picture taking mode, not review picture mode.
2) Press Video/Live Recording button.
3) Go to first option, called "Program"
4) In this mode, many other options are available, and there will be smaller icons.

Cam settings
Date Stamp (icon is like an old fashioned date stamp)
Click off.

Hi,

Cameras normally have a setting where you can turn the date stamp on or off. Just browse through the menu. It will be there somewhere. In he case of the photos already taken with the date stamp you will be able to remove it with the brush tool in Photoshop.

Hope this helps!

Cheers

I was fighting the same problem for several weeks and finally solve the problem this morning. I overrode the system by simply creating a new MII and deleting the old one. Worked like a charm. gb

When you turn on your camera, press the menu button. That will bring up the screen that has the orange buttons at the top (Capture) (Setup) arrow down using the buttons on the far right side. The down button will be the dame button that you use to delete pictures with. When you get to the botton of the page continue arrowing down and that will bring up another page. Arrow down until you get to the botton there are only 3 items on this page and the bottom item will say the following:

Date imprint ON

Press your enter button (ok button) and up will pop ON or OFF.
Arrown down to the OFF and press enter and that will remove the date imprint from your pictures.

Hope this helps you.
