Title:

Why can't I reset the date as requested?

Text:

When I turn on the camera, the screen  requires me to set the date and time (the camera was purchased ten years ago).   I fill in the new info and press the OK central button but it won't take a new date and get off the screen; it returns to the request to set time and date.   While I can get out of that screen to take new photos or access old ones, I cannot copy any new ones onto my computer because all that comes up is the Set Date/Time screen.

Device:

Canon PowerShot A540
