Yes. See page 12 of this manual: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/7/0900009927/01/PSSX100IS_CUG_EN.pdf

If you mean the Canon A520, it is a 4.0 megapixel camera, but you may download the manual and more from here.

If you mean the Polaroid A520, you may download its manual here.

did you update the driver program

you may need to take it in to the camera place to get the clock mem batery replaced cos it is out of date

hi, there's a capacitor on the main pcb that you need to change just to save the time and date even you turning off your camera. bring to service center and maybe the service charge is cheap.

You have to change the 'date battery'. Use the user manual to find its location.

Mine is Canon A520, located beside the cable link sockets. Battery is CR 1220.

Solution: Replacing the date battery PowerShot A510 and A520

Replacing the Date Battery If the Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, the date battery charge is low and the date and time settings have been lost. Please purchase a lithium coin battery (CR1220) and replace it as follows.
Please note that the first date battery may appear to expire relatively quickly after you purchase the camera. This is because it is installed in the camera at the point of manufacture, not when you make the purchase. Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery since corrosive battery fluids could damage the stomach or intestinal wall.

1. Confirm that the camera is turned off.
   
   
2. Open the terminal cover and use your finger nail to pull out the battery holder.
   
   
   
   
3. Pull open the battery holder in the direction indicated by the arrow (1). Remove the battery by pulling it up in the direction indicated by the arrow (2).
   
   
   
   
4. Insert a new battery with the ( ) side facing up.
   
   
5. Replace the battery holder back and close the terminal cover.
   
   
6. When the Date/Time menu appears, set the date and time.
   
   

After purchasing the camera and turning on the power for the first time, although the Date/Time menu will appear, you do not need to replace the date battery. If you ever dispose of your camera, first remove the date battery for recycling according to the recycling system of your country.
