Ok, So I have to reset the date and time on my digital camera everytime I turn it on?

Everytime I turn on my Casio Exilim EX-Z60, I gotta reset the date, time n all that. I usually just hit menu to skip that, but still itz annoying having to do that everytime I turn the thing on. Is there a way to fix this? I looked it up on the casio website, but all it says is that there isn't a seperate battery for the clock and that itz probably a result of having the camera off for more than 30 hours. But it does this even if itz off for five seconds. Any help would really be appreciated. Gracias.

It uses a Lithium Ion Np-20 battery

Many compact camera models use a small capacitor instead of a battery to store energy for the on-board memory. When these capacitors are damaged or wear out the symptom you describe will occur. The solution is to have the capacitor replaced or live with the problem. If you can get the technical specs for the capacitor it is probably only a few dollars to buy.

If you know somebody who can disassemble the camera and replace the capacitor it will probably fix the problem.

Hope that helps.

i would just ditch it and buy a new one.

the camera has an internal watch battery
it needs changed

If your camera does not use a separate battery for time and date, then it probably stores some of the energy from the batteries for use when you're changing them.

I firmly believe that there is an internal battery (and if so, it needs to be changed from time to time) but Casio said no, so I really don't know who should you believe.

Try putting some full batteries and leaving the camera on for 20 or 30 minutes (or use it for an extended period of time). If your camera stores energy internally, that should recharge it. If not, take your camera to a repair shop, or buy a new one.
