I had a problem "turning it on"!
It is a complex process to turn on which Canon did in a very Japanese way, - meaning never straight forward.

review previous post:

note time stamp meant for PostCard size pictures ( lower resolution and more square in format). hit function keys as instructed above to get to the "size" of picture. change from Post Card to Large, Medium or any other size. Should solve this.

I have the same problem and am researching this topic to find an answer. Unfortunately, I think I found an answer that I didn't want to hear; there isn't a date/time stamp with this camera (?). Hard to believe Sony could make such an intelligent piece of equipment and NOT have the capability to date/time stamp...I thought that was a standard specification for ALL cameras now-days. Check this out: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/specs/DSCW220P_mksp.pdf

:
The date and time can be included on the pictures taken only with the camera in postcard mode. You must also activate the date stamp option in the menu.
To set the camera into postcard mode, press the [Func.] button on the camera, then use the [arrow down] key to go down to the last option in the menu, and there you can choose the [Postcard mode]. Press [Func.] again to exit the function menu.
To set the date and time stamp, press the [Menu] button and then use the [arrow down] button to go to the [Date stamp] option in the menu. You can set this to "Date" or "Date & Time". Press the [Menu] button again to exit the menu.
Be aware that if you take pictures with this option enabled, the Date and Time cannot be removed from the pictures at a further time. It will permanently appear on the picture.

An online review says the date stamp only works in the "postcard" image format. http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd850-review/

Well, not really a solution. More like clarification.
Olympus does not provide a date/time stamp on pics taken with this camera (f310/x840), so, no solution, just knowledge....

Dear Bryx,
Unfortunately there is no way to have the nikon d80 print the date directly on the images, but the information is stored to the EXIF data on every image.

Sincerely,
Agent Allan
Go Ahead. Use Us.

To get the date/time to be on your photos while taking the picture so you don't have to use the software later do this:

When in the mode to take pictures, press the round "Function Set" button and change the recording pixels to "Postcard 1600 X 1200". "Postcard" is the only setting that will allow the time/date stamp to be recorded on the picture.

Then press the "Menu" button and scroll down to "Date Stamp". You can select "Date", "Date & Time" or "Off". You can only do this when your pictures are set to the "Postcard" mode.

You can only set the date stamp in the “Post Card” resolution mode. Hit the “function” button, go down to the resolution selection (L, M, S, W, Postcard, etc.). Pick the “Post Card” setting. Hit the “menu” button and the “date stamp” menu will be active
