I want to put date & time on my photos - Kodak Easyshare M580 Digital Camera

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with each picture 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.

Try to detach the battery for 10-15minutes then put it back, go to camera menu then check if the date & time is off, if not set it off.

theres no date a time stamp on the photo itself with DSLRs but the meta data is kept on file in the photo so it has recorderd the time and date. depending on what photo printing software your using you can bring up the time and date back on the photo. I have canon photo printer and using the bundled software easy photo print, it allows me to print time and date of the photo. or if you use adobe lightroom you can get the time and date back on the photo. the time and date stamp is more of a compact camera rather than DSLR.

The camera will not do put a date and time stamp on the photos automatically. You can put the date and time on each photo, one at a time, with the software that came with the camera.

May not be a way to do it. Personally, I think it is a poor thing to do. When you put the time & date on a picture this way, it cannot be easily removed. Since the EXIF data has this and much more information, you can always add it later.

In order to imprint the date stamp on photos, the photo size (L, M1, M2, M3, S, Postcard) must be set to Postcard, and in the recording menu the "Date Stamp" option must be set to Date or Date & Time.

While in Postcard Print mode, use the Menu button to navigate to the Date Stamp section in the Rec Menu.
Select [Off], [Date] or [Date & Time] then select 'Off'.
Press the Menu button again to get back to shooting mode.

The date is printed on the photos using the "pict bridge" software. The date printing option is set on the computer, not the camera. If the printer has it disabled or it is a printer that doesn't support it, you won't get the date.

You will find a setting that will date/time stamp the actual image when it's taken. Please take a look in your manual. Most cameras have this feature.

I have the same camera and the only way to do this is to first, Make sure you have set the date and time correctly on your camera. Take a picture or, view picture you want date & time stamped. Press the circular 'Menu/Set' button. Press down arrow to playback mode. Press right arrow on 'text stamp'. Choose whether to apply stamp to single or multiple photos. Press 'Menu/set' to select photo to stamp. Choose which stamps to add. Date, time, age etc.. Press 'Menu/set' again and select 'Yes' in box. The only problem with this is that it will resize your photos to 3m, which can make them grainier if you took them at a higher res. Gillian
