I took pictures without realizing the date was on. Is there a way to take the date off before I get the pictures off the camera or even after I put them off my computer without just cropping them? The date wasn't even set right and it was from a wedding.

Even when your camera has an internal memory, it only could save up to about 3 pictures. But most modern camera's not even allow you to retrieve the last picture.
Pleaase for a more accurate answer, give more details about device name, brand. and model of everything related.

How do you normally download your pictures?

If you do it by connecting your camera to your computer, simply remove your memory card before making the connection. If you do it by putting your memory card into a card reader, first use the "Copy to Card" command in the playback menu to copy the pictures from the camera to the memory card.

You cannot change the dates on the taken photos using the camera.
Copy the pictures to your PC, and use a graphic editor to put the new date.
It is a very difficult task to change the date displayed. Therefore insert a button-like graphic on top of the date and put the correct date over that.

From the Setup menu, select Date Imprint and turn it off. This will keep the camera from putting the date into the picture area in the future. It will not affect pictures you've already taken.

To get to the Setup menu from the Easy Auto mode, press MENU.

To get to the Setup menu from the other modes, press MENU to bring up the shooting menu, then use the multiselector to select Setup and press OK.

To remove the date/time stamp from your photos, you will have to either crop (cut) it out or use a Photo editing program to remove the date. Good photo editing programs are Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro amoung others.

Hello,
You should just transfer the pictures to your computer (Then back to the card if you want). I don't think there is a copy to card function. However, internal memory and card memory are separate, so there's no risk of overwriting them, either. Just don't delete them.

Insert memory card, press HOME >> MANAGE MEMORY and select COPY option. Camera will copy internal photo files on memory stick.

Curiously, the first pictures I took with camera had the date stamp on the pics so somehow the date did appear but probably disappeared when the batteries were changed.
