Tim,

Now I see what you are getting at. The camera belongs to a family friend and has gone on a Christmas holiday so I cannot check it at the moment. The devices with this option that I have seen just adjust the hour by up to plus or minus 12 to allow for all time zones

I don't think that your suggestion could be the case as the date /time are always more or less the same unless the date is manually reset for a session.

I have already tried 1, 2 and 4. I will try 3 and check out 5 and report back.

Thanks.

It is not my camera but I believe that it has had the problem sincee it was new just over a year ago - and is probably out of warranty now.

I don't follow your point about the hometown setting. If I set it for today's date and the time for wherever I happen to be in the world it will revert to 00.00.01am 1st July 2005 when it is restarted. How does the physical location matter?

Every time it is switched off the date reverts to 1/7/2005. I can find very little searching for help with this problem but cannot believe that it is unique (almost) to this particular camera.

If it is not a rare problem maybe it has been fixed in a firmware update. It is using version 1.00. I have not found a later version for the Optio 60 and wonder if it has been sold under another model name in other countries.

I would be grateful for any help solving this problem as it makes organsing the photos on a computer very difficult
