      Brandon TaylorAug 23, 2025
      If the date and time on your Nikon Digital Camera recordings are incorrect, it's likely that the camera clock hasn't been set. If the clock hasn't been set, the 'Date not set' indicator will blink, and images/movies will be dated '00/00/0000 00:00' or '01/01/2011 00:00'. Set the correct time and date in the Time zone and date option in the setup menu. Also, check the camera clock regularly and reset it as needed.

      Shawn RiceAug 27, 2025
      If the date isn't imprinted on your Nikon Digital Camera images even with Print date enabled, it could be because the current shooting mode doesn't support Print date. Switch to a shooting mode that does. Note that the date cannot be imprinted on movies or on still images saved during movie recording.

      Shawn AdamsSep 1, 2025
      Your Nikon Digital Camera might be turning off unexpectedly due to several reasons. The battery could be exhausted, so try replacing or recharging it. The camera might be turning off automatically to save power. Cold temperatures can also affect performance. Additionally, the camera will turn off if the Charging AC Adapter is connected while the camera is on, if the USB cable connecting it to a computer or printer is disconnected (reconnect the USB cable), or if the inside of the camera has become hot (let it cool down before turning it on again).
