The date on my playback pics is distorted. How can I clear the display so I can read the dates?

The Masterlink ML 9600 is a professional digital audio recording and mastering system, so there are a few potential causes for this issue:

1. Hard drive failure: If the hard drive on the ML 9600 is failing, it can cause issues with playback, including distorted or "drill-like" sounds.
2. File corruption: If the file that you recorded and saved on the ML 9600's hard drive becomes corrupted, it can cause issues with playback.
3. Firmware issue: If the firmware of the ML 9600 is not up to date, it could cause problems with the playback, especially when it comes to filing compatibility.
4. Interference or electronic noise: If there is any kind of electronic noise or interference in the area, it could also cause playback issues, including distorted or "drill-like" sounds.
5. Problem with the analog or digital output stages of the ML 9600.

It would be best to check the hard drive, ensure that the firmware is up to date, and verify that the file is not corrupted, and then check with the manufacturer for further assistance. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the unit serviced by a professional technician.

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every pic in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

Once the date has been stamped on the pics, they're their just like anything else in the pics. You can use a photo editing program to try to remove them, but it's the same process as trying to remove an unwanted object from any other part of the picture.

In playback mode, press DISP/BACK to select a playback display format. This will turn the Information display on, which will show you the date/time the picture was taken.

This camera does not have a Time/Date Stamp that actually stays on the picture like some cameras do. Instead, the Time/Date Stamp is included in the Image File Properties, and can be viewed or modified from any Windows PC.

I was all set to send my camera off to canon for repair when I happened across that solution. I don't have a replacement on hand, but just removing that battery allows me to take pics again.

Had same problem, it has taken me ages!
If you have the book, see page 83:

Or for single print, similar see page 85

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every image. Any photo printing program should have an option for printing the date and time on the picture (or in the margin or even on the back if the printer is two-sided).
