When using Lumix Simple Viewer to view pics taken with my Panasonic camera, of 29 photos taken on 28/6/2008, 28 display at the correct date, but 1 photo displays with date of 4/5/2011. The photo file name in the Folder is correct, but I amended (enhanced) the photo on 4/5/2011 and it has taken this date as the date taken and the name of the file on Simple Viewer. How can I return to the original date taken?
If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock may be reset.
When the message "Please Set the Clock" appears, set the clock again.
To reset the clock for model DMC-F5:
Select [Clock Set] from [Setup] or [Rec].
Press [?Left Arrow] or [?Right Arrow] to select the year, month, day, hour, minute, display order or time display format, and press [?Up Arrow]/[?Down Arrow] to set.
Press [Menu/Set].
By the way, if you want to enhance photo quality after taking photos, here I found a post including some software for help: 10 Best AI Photo Enhancers
Once the photo is date stamped that is a done deal no changing it.

If you are using Windows, then there might be a program called "Microsoft Office Picture Manager". You could try compressing pictures with this instead.

Do you know where i can download the above software for my camera??
I have this camera, but installation CD with Photo Fun Studio viewer is lost
SOURCE: time and date display
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

The symptoms which you describe are very strongly suggestive of a failed CCD imager. Either the one you have is faulty or the ribbon cable which supplies power to the CCD has failed in some way. The CCD is not involved in producing the on screen icons and their continued presence plus the ability to view pre-fault images confirm that the LCD screen and associated electronics are unaffected.
Sorry, but there is absolutely nothing you can do to try and fix this: I'm assuming that you've tried a camera reset and already learned that it will not solve this particular problem.
As the camera shouldn't be much over a year old I suggest that you contact the seller. The Sale of Goods Act basically says that goods must be "fit for purpose" and of "satisfactory quality". In practice they'll probably tell you to contact Panasonic: even if the camera is out of warranty they usually are very supportive if the defect is due to an original manufacturing fault. If you're in the UK then the Sale of Goods Act was amended recently to the effect that a seller is liable for up to six years after the date of sale for faulty products. There is now an automatic assumption that faults were present at the time of sale (even if it takes time for them to appear) unless the seller can prove that the fault is due to misuse. If you're in the UK then you can search for more details of these rights for yourself, but it's important to note that it's the seller, not the manufacturer, who is ultimately responsible under the terms of the Act.
If you're outside the UK then some of the principles of the UK Sale of Goods Act may well be covered by your own local laws. In the UK "satisfactory quality" depends upon the product: you wouldn't expect a cheap disposable razor to last six years, nor would you expect an expensive pair of trainers to last that long simply because of the way that they're used. The former would be expected to last up to around one month and the latter up to around a year (more if rarely worn, much less if actively used for sports). But an expensive camera from a prestigious brand in non-professional use would certainly be expected to last at least three years by many people, and some may well reasonably expect it to last a full six years. You'd also expect a cared-for pocketable camera to survive being knocked from a chair or table to the floor at least once in it's expected lifespan but not necessarily to survive a fall from six feet onto concrete.
Whatever you do, do not attempt to open the camera and fix this yourself if you hope to get a free repair: there is quite literally nothing inside which you can fix without specialist tools and knowledge and all bets are off if the seller/manufacturer sees evidence of a non-authorised repair attempt.
Sorry there's no quick fix but I hope that you've found my answer to be useful and I ask only that you return the favour by rating my answer.
