OMD and date changing after battery change

[ChipD]

Have had the OMD for 1 day now, and it's growing on me


When I change battery and shoot, I note that all my pics have a wrong date/time stamp. Is that just me? Do I have to reset the date/time every time I replace the battery?


I did a search, but couldn't find out about this problem.

The OM-D has an internal backup Battery to secure the clock.
This is not user-exchangable, and I believe in your case this part is empty or bad and must be replaced by servicemen.

Edit:

I read, you had the camera for 1 day only. Maybe the internal battery is not fully charged.
Make sure, you have a charged accu inside the camera overnight, possibly this will recharge the internal battery and solve the problem.

OK, I"ll leave it in overnight and then see what happens.

Thanks.

I have just bought a s/h OMD E-M5 with problem of date /time details clearing after changing battery. I found the solution is in the camera setting;
Go to the Custom menu - scroll down to the Cogs (item ) select Cog A - AF/MF option, then scroll down to 4th item - Reset Lens - set to ON then press Set Ok button and back to Menu. It worked for me - hope it works for you.
