EX2F needs time and date reset after battery change

Every time I switch batteries in my camera it starts with the setting screen for time and date. It remembers the time zone which seems odd.

I am sure this isn't normal. The capacitor that stores some energy during battery change must have failed unless there is some setting in the menu that I have missed.  I really haven't changed the battery that often and maybe I just forgot this happening.

Re: EX2F needs time and date reset after battery change

Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with my TL500. It's a pain and I have had to search for my pictures in Google Photo with the default date. I think it is 1/1/2000. When the battery is out, I keep a slip of paper between the closed LCD screen and the camera with a reminder note for me to set the date.

Same scenario with my EX-2F...

It's just par for the course with these cameras.  And mine is mint.

Thanks for the replies.  I guess my memory is getting bad.
