@destinydavis do you turn the camera off between changing the SD cards. The issue is most likely that your RTC battery is no longer functioning. THat is what holds the time and settings in memory. With a dead RTC battery, you lose those settings everytime you turn your camera off.
From the User Manual:
The Clock Battery[br]
• The camera’s clock is powered by a built-in backup battery. The backup battery charges when the main batteries are inserted into the camera or when the camera is connected to an optional AC adapter, and it can run the clock for several days after about ten hours of charging.[br]
• If the camera’s backup battery becomes exhausted, the date and time setting screen is displayed when the camera is turned on. Set the date and time again. [br]

Now we just have to find it inside your camera.

What a pain. The battery is on the underside of the main board. [image|3077326] Not a lot of guides out for this, so try something like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1kLlktBM1Y |this video] in combination with the beginning of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe7Dhrhrgb0 |this one]

While you work on your camera, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has the same problem as you do. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.
