What causes my digital camera's date to constantly change to 1/1/2007?

Question

i have a FUJIFILM Finepix A900 and it seems to always change itself. i just feel there is something wrong. Fugi's website literlly gives NO help(no phone numbers, no help in the instruction manual, and they never respond to emails) so i'd like to know if anyone can help me?

Answer 1

There's probably a separate battery for the time and date function.  Sounds like it needs replacing.

Okay, I looked at the manual online and saw a couple possibilities.  

First, are you pressing MENU/OK after setting the time and date?

Second, when the batteries run out, it holds the time and date information for 6 hours.  If you're leaving batteries out or dead for longer than that, then it will re-set to the factory setting.

Answer 2
