Re: 500d embarrassing question

with lots of gear but no idea wrote:

Had the 500d for quite a while but have decided I would like the date of the image included on the picture. However, after a lot of searching I don't seem to be able to find anything in the manual to say how to include it. Could someone please tell me how to do it, that is of course if it is possible. Thanks for any advise.

Well its not on the image but don't forget that the date is tagged in the EXIF metadata so as long as you have the image file you can always find out the date.

You could also rename all your image files appending the EXIF date using freeware tools.

I haven't found any tools which would automatically write the EXIF date to the image as a batch process but it seems like something that might be useful.

Not sure if you're trying to keep track of the date that photos were taken or wanting to include it when printing or posting to social media.
