Hi I have 2 sx530HS and both were setup with Image Gateway and all was working fine no problems until the shutdown of the server. Today I tried to connect them to the new Image.Canon server and every time I try the update cloud button on the cameras as decribed in the setup from image.canon I get "Set the correct date and time" on both cameras. The correct date, time and time zone is correct on the camera. I've searched through several posts on here from others having similar issues in the past saying you need to change the camera name to something else before trying to connect, or completely reset the wireless settings like it was a brand new camera. None of that worked. I logged into the new image.canon and deleted one of the cameras that I guess was transfered over from image gateway and that had no effect. Am I missing something or is the service not fully up and running. Any help would be great as our company uses these for shipping picture verifcation and manually transfering images takes a ton of time and is the only reason we bought these cameras is so we could transfer pictures automatically.
Initially I thought I could use the File API's FileEntry.getMetadata() call but this doesn't return a valid date for the modificationTime attribute. I think that phonegap also transforms the file on the device so that the you recieve back from the camera plugin is not the original file on the device, so even if the getMetadata() call worked, the date wouldn't be the correct one.
Unfortunately the Cordova camera plugin for Android doesn't copy EXIF tags when transforming an image selected from the gallery, only when taking an image using the camera, so this is a problem, but I will fix this by forking the plugin. The iOS version of the plugin seems to do this right thing.
Like everyone else I dislike answers that start with "do this a completely different way" but I had the same problems as the original poster and using the alternate camera plugin cordova-plugin-camera-with-exif was the best solution I found.
I have a two-year-old Olympus C-720. Sporadically, without warning, it will just lose the date/time settings. Every other setting programmed into it will be retained, but it will reset back to 1/1/2000 12:00.
This can happen on a fully-charged set of NiMH batteries. I've seen it happen where I'll take ten pictures, turn the camera off for three minutes, and the date and time are trashed when I turn it on again, but then I'll get 300 more shots on that set of batteries.
Two common suggestions I've gotten are to clean the contacts (camera and battery), and to tighten the camera's internal spring contacts (i.e., bend them so they grip the batteries more tightly). Doing so has helped, but it's not been perfect.
I tend to take very few pictures during the first three months of the year and when I tried using the camera over Easter weekend, it was driving me crazy. It frequently wouldn't turn on until I'd opened the battery compartment and reinserted the batteries, and then of course would have lost the date.
I finally had my wife reach in and pull up on the battery compartment springs (my fingers are too big to fit in there), and I used a clean pencil eraser on all the contacts (and, interestingly, the eraser was clean white when I started and was black when I finished), then a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol, then an air dry, and the camera has held the date since.
There are lots of posts in the rec.photo.digital newsgroup, from lots of people using different Olympus cameras who've had this happen. But I've never seen a post saying "my problem went away when I..." Has anyone in this forum experienced what I'm talking about? If so, how did you resolve it?
I have 100% confidence that my camera will take great pictures. I just wish I had anywhere near that confidence in the batteries keeping the date and clock charged, and worrying about when it will screw up next lessens my fun with it.
If your camera is meant to retain date settings say during a battery change then it will have one of two items that enable this to happen. Its usually either a capacitor or a small button cell battery. If either of these items have problems then this would produce the sypmtoms you describe. Either of those two items will be retained withing the actual casing of the camera and you would need to get them replaced by a proper repair centre.

2. Suggestions for how to find a place, local to me, that could do the repair quickly and correctly? I suspect that, were I to use Olympus's repair facility on Long Island, I'd be without the camera for two months or longer.
Chances are the capcitor will be very cheap but it will be the labor charge that will bump the price up. I would be more inclined to send a camera to the manufacturers repair facility than some general repair shop. I would rather live without my camera for a few months and have it back right. Do some asking around your local camera stores to see if they can recommend anyone apart from Oly. Its probably a very simple repair to do...

What's the best camera for travel? Good travel cameras should be small, versatile, and offer good image quality. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for travel and recommended the best.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
Timekeeping issues might be due to an erroneously configured Timezone or an absence of an appropriate Daylight Saving time setting. The time is probably being set and checked against an NTP server. Alter your Time Zone settings or disable NTP.
Another cause of the problem is that some IP cameras do not have batteries to save the clock. When the camera is rebooted, the clock is lost. The way out of this situation is synchronization with an NTP server. Specify the correct time zone, NTP server address as an IP address. Then make sure the camera is accessing the NTP server, check the NTP server log. Do not forget to reboot the camera. We hope that you know how to reset PTZ camera?
When installing IP cameras, it is important to consider all settings in advance. Because you will not be able to predict when the timestamp will be needed. This is necessary even if real-time viewing of IP cameras is taking place.
But sometimes it is extremely difficult to set everything up on your own. So, we believe that our guide on how to change IP camera date and time will help you deal on your own without applying to specialists.
1.) Turn on your camera.
2.) Press the center "Set" button and an array of options should show for you to scroll left/right till Date Setup
3.) Choose Date Setup from "On/Off, Date Setup" options
4.) Keep pressing right/left to navigate from time to date.
At the first time when you turn on the camera, you will be asked to set the date and time setting in the camera.
Or you may want to change the date and time setting to the local date and time, if you go to another country with time differences.
How to sync the time on Windows 10: Search 'Time' in the Windows search bar to open the 'Date and Time' section > Internet time > Synchronize your clock' sub-section and tap the 'Sync now' button.

@due40 It sounds a good idea to examine the UDP port 123 * used by NTP servers* for camera IP on router/ modem firewall if cameras could not get the correct time, I all also add this in troubleshooting suggestions. Thank you for your detailed sharing!
Germany has just switched to daylight saving time and like Groundhog Day, there is yet again a flurry of Tweets, blog posts, Facebook posts and YouTube videos reminding you to set the clock in your camera. Twice a year. Again and again. Ad nauseum.
An important piece in the puzzle of being able to fix this later is a picture that shows the current time and date, for example taken off of a clock on your smart phone watch. You can take that reference photo any time. Before you take your pictures, during taking your pictures or if you forgot to do it, even a few weeks later back home.
Step 1: In Lightroom, select all pictures that you want to change date and time on together with the reference picture. Make sure the reference picture is the main selection, e.g. its highlight is slightly brighter than the other selected pictures.
Canon uses a timer to shorten record times during use and finally to shut off the camera or lock you out from the highest performing video modes like 8K and 4K/120p. It is thought that Canon did this for marketing reasons, to segment the camera from high-end Cinema EOS cameras which they want professional users to buy instead.
