The weird thing is that I don't get any such warning. Also, the date is still correct but it seems the time sets itself to midnight as soon as I insert the battery!

I'm at the end of my experience with these symptoms, not sure I've got any more ideas … have you got more than one battery and if so does it happen with all batteries?

If so it's got to be something weird with the camera, which realistically leaves you with two options … learn to live with it or replace the camera, assuming repair isn't an option.

I'll guess the "Enter Time & Date" option only happens when it's totally reset, yours seems to be only "half-faulty", which is probably even more frustrating!
