   See page 54 and 55 in your manual. You can only imprint the date in the Postcard mode.
   Setting the Postcard Mode:
   Press the FUNC button
   Scroll to the image size selector
   Set the image size to “Postcard” 1600×1200
   Press FUNC to save
   –
   Setting the date imprint to “On”:
   First, be sure that you have selected the Postcard mode
   Press the MENU button
   Choose the RECORD menu, which has an icon that looks like a camera
   Scroll down to “Date Stamp”
   Scroll to the right to choose “Off,” “Date,” or “Date & Time”
   Press MENU to save
   –
   The image size will be 1600×1200 pixels.
   You can not save the date in any other mode.
   You can only turn the date stamp on or off if you are in Postcard mode.
   You can not remove the date stamp from the image once it has been embedded. You would have to use Photoshop (etc.) to cover it up.
   Be sure that your camera’s clock is set to the correct time and date.

   Think menu or settings button.. almost all canon cameras have the same access or very similar access to date stamp.. just flip through the menu.. and adjust settings..
