Olympus Change the date.  How to you do it?

Hi there!

You can still set the date and time for this camera. Just follow the steps found on this website: Set Date and Time for Olympus FE-140.

Best regards!

Is your camera like this?

I had the same problem. I wanted to set my Olympus C5000 Zoom to automatically date stamp photos. After going through the entire manual, I had to call Olympus directly. They told me that none of their cameras have an internal date stamp feature. They said that the date stamp lowers the quality of the picture, so they choose not to have the feature available. However, you can manually add the date and time stamp through the software that comes with the camera, just before you print the pictures. Hope that helps...
if you need help with that manual go to http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/manual/ and get our off the list.
It is on there!!! about the middle of the page.

By default Olympus cameras do not print the date on the images when they are downloaded to a PC. Olympus does not include this functionality because they feel that it detracts from image quality. There is a function of the camera called print order that you can set that it will print the date on the images but this is only if you take the card to a photo processing store. However if you use the Olympus Master software and print the images that you have previously transferred there is a check box in the print setting window that you can add the date and or time to the printed image.

Actually, it was easy. My fault. I didn't realize I could keep scrolling through my "set-up" option - from "menu" to the date/time icon. Once I found that, I just had to work my way through it. The only thing is, it's set up as a 24 hour clock, and I would prefer it as a 12 hour AM/PM. Haven't figured out how to change that yet, but it's not serious. At least the date will be correct now.

First you press the button called "MODE" and, without releasing it, press the "SET" button.
Then, the year will start to blink.
Set the year with the "SET" button. Once you finish setting the year, press the "MODE" button to change to the month.
Then, the same way with the month, day, hour, minutes.
After minutes, the display will stop blinking.
YOUR SET!
