Date Stamp Removal
Mar 2, 2012 10:31AM PST

We see this question several times a year.

The date becomes part of the picture file and can't easily be removed.

It can be removed by someone that is proficient with Photoshop, but it takes about 30 minutes per photo file.

There is one software program that claims to remove the date stamp, but I tried it and it did not work well for me.

But if you want to try it,
You can try before you buy:

Sorry about that

I thought you wanted to remove the date imprint from the front of photos you have previously taken.

If you want to turn-off the "Date Imprint" feature:

Look at the User Manual at page 55 (Menu Options).
Then go to page 58 (Mode 3 Settings).
There you will find the Date Imprint feature.
Set it to OFF.

....

If you want to keep the date/time from displaying on the LCD screen.
I don't think that is possible.
