Additional Methods
------------------------
Loofah65 has another way to set up the time/date stamp for the newer models.

"After some trouble-shooting, I discovered that for the particular model I have, the date and time format is as follows: yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm:ss EX: (2010.05.17 22:55:07) Type it into a file named time.txt and placed onto the root of the camera storage, then turn it on the same as you described in your videos."

How To Update Time Automatically

1) Connect the camera to computer via USB cable

2) Download GetSysTime at h ttp :// diganet.net / downloads. htm l

3) Click GetSysTime . exe to update the date and time, after this, the time of the camera will synchronize with the time of computer when you restart it again.

Another solution from Busa0069!
GOT IT!!!
First problem was file.
Just name the text file TAG no .txt, then posted date as follows with an = at end of seconds.

[date]
2010/06/06
14:00:06=

-----------------------
BONG2011: For my MD80 it works with "time.txt" (year.month.day.time.minute.se c) or 2010.08.09.23.30.00 no space

----------------------------
bikermad1962 - Hi Frank. I've used just the TAG and had to play around with the date and time settings. It is now working like this.

Create TAG file
Type:
[date] hit spacebar then enter key
2010/08/13 hit spacebar then enter key
10:36 hit spacebar
Save file

--------------------------------
worex - My method was this:

build a text file called TAG.TXT under root.

[date] need space at the end with newline

yyyy/mm/dd need space at the end with newline

13:28:00 doesn't need space and doesn't need newline at the end of the line.

POWER OFF *AND* POWER ON THE MACHINE AFTER TAG.TXT WAS WRITTEN TO THE CARD!

Time Format in the Video is this:

10/27/2010 01:38:04

mm/dd/yyyy hh : mm : ss

Just got mine today in the mail and have had a B¡tch of a time getting this figured out..
My version uses TIME.txt with just this in the file "yyyy.mm.dd.hh:mm:ss="
Add that one to the list.. :|

--------------------------------
savvasrodos

After many-many attempts this method worked to me!
1)The file must named as TIME.TXT
2)In the file, in one line: yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm:ss
ex: 2011.01.04 22:40:00
Only one space between date time
Eliminate the line [date], as I wrote, only one line in the file.

Mine was "time" then yyyy.mm.dd hhmmss (2011.01.11 210030) one space between date and time. Mine came with a mini CD that had an older date like that but I had to be carefull how I saved it. I saved like in Frakes video then had to use the "safely remove hardware" thing then turn it off still plugged in, then unplug it, turn it on. Hope this makes sence to someone.
PS thanks for heading me in the right direction Frank

I am not sure about the camera shown in the video, but some compact cameras do allow you to turn off the time/date display by putting an "N" at the end: "YYYY.MM.DD HH.MM.SS N" in the time.txt. A "Y" turns it on again. Perhaps the TAG.txt would need it to be in a separate line like with the time(if supported, of course):

[DATE]

YYYY/MM/DD

HH:MM:SS

N

Of course, someone may have tried this already, but I thought I would mention it.

Finally got mine to work. Like this no : marks for time. Example like this 2009.01.01 12.01.01 N
