    Why is no date stamp added to images on my Canon Digital Camera?

      Configure the [Date Stamp] setting. Note that date stamps are not added to images automatically, merely because you have configured the [Date/Time] setting. Date stamps are not added in shooting modes in which this setting cannot be configured.
