Canon camera question re batteries

[ezdays]

Must admit that I don't bother with the clock/date

It comes in handy now and then, especially when you want to file your pictures chronologically. Regardless, when you change the battery and turn the camera on, it goes to the "set time/date" menu and you either set the time/date, or have to navigate your way out of the menu before you can take pictures. Either way, it takes time. Maybe my camera isn't working right, but I would think that it should be able to memorize that info for a few minutes anyway.
