If I take my batteries out, even for a second, all the settings reset. Also the batteries run down very fast (over a few hours), even if the camera is not in use. I assume that I need to replace the internal battery but do not know how to access it. After undoing all the screws I can see, the back cover appears to be still held on at the top, near the viewfinder. Do you know how to replace the internal battery or get the cover off so I can find it?
Hi, There is a capacitor in the unit that holds a charge and saves your settings. You can find where to order the part, and some take apart pics here (not my page, just a link I found online): http://www.pbase.com/ociepka/750 Hope that helps you out!
DO NOT try this solution at home. The pics neglect an important and vital piece of information namely that the capacitor is soldered in to place. Easy enough (though not simple) to get to the point of removing the old capacitor. Impossible to replace with the ordered part unless you are an expert at microsolder in very tight spaces. One to leave to the experts I think.
Both of these cameras have a small MnO2Li coin battery type CR2025.
It five minutes work to replace and you don't need to take the whole camera apart. The battery is located in a rubber holder located on the 1400 underneath the hand grip. You need a stout tooth pick or unbent paper clip to pull it out.
Alterntively take your cemera to a real photo place where they should do the replacement for the cost of the new battery.
I have nikon coolpix 4800, and i have the same problem, the settings reset, i open the camera and i found one little battery sanyo, tomorrow i will replace these battery, i hope fix the problem :S (my english is so bad)
Is there an internal battery? Taking a camera apart is not a good idea. Are you sure you are using the specified batteries as laid down in the Manual? Try Olympus Technical support don't tell them you have had it apart.

Well as is not ment to lose all it's settings when you remove the main batteries there must be the equlivent of a internal battery. I'm definitly using the right batteries. How on earth are you ment to fix somthing if you're scared to take it appart - if it was not ment to be taken appart it would have been glued not screwed together.
C-750 loses settings--including time and date--if I remove batteries for even an instant. I'd sure like to fix it. All I've done so far is post my problem on forums in hopes of some help.
