This older digital camera has an internal clock that should keep running when I change batteries. Is there a smaller internal battery to keep the clock alive that may need replacing?

The only alternative to a CMOS battery would be a capacitor serving the same function.

The Easyshare C813’s is on the sensor side of the main board. http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/SVOdX...

Unfortunately, that battery looks like it's soldered down. Not a difficult thing to replace once you've got the board out, but removing and reinstalling the board is something that I would not consider easy.
Thanks! I’m no stranger to working on such electronics, I’ll give it a go. Who knows, maybe if I’m successful, I’ll write a procedure.
@dougp01 We haven't had much luck figuring out exactly what battery you need for your camera, but if you get in there it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Get out your calipers and measure the diameter of the coin cell and the thickness. That will be the number you are looking for; for example a CR2032 battery is 20mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick.
@dadibrokeit I did find that battery but of course they do have a limited lifetime. Will I can use my calipers to measure, mine are an all metal digital and I don't want to risk shorting the battery during a thickness measurement. And yes, I'm aware of that numbering quirk where the 32 = 3.2 mm. But that goes back to before 1992 at least. My problem is the unsoldering, it is very tight in there and I don't want to cause collateral damage. Maybe this is how they determine product life.

@shamino I'm going to disagree with you; in my opinion that battery does not look soldered in. I believe the metal tab on top of it is kind of a spring contact; the two dimples you can make out are the contact points. Normally I would expect something around the edges of the battery to hold it in place, and it appears there's a cavity on the body of the phone the battery fits into so it'll stay where it belongs, at least in the photo Mayer posted.
Of course the only way to be sure is to take it apart, but that would be my best guess.

@dadibrokeit: I'm not sure what that arrow is pointing to, but it's not the battery. The battery is next to the USB connector:
There's not enough resolution to read a part number, but it's a small coin cell with surface-mount solder tabs. Something like this:
The "dimples" on the tabs are where they are spot-welded to the battery.

Ah, given that photo I have to agree. The part the arrow is pointing to is a spot with a raised edge on the plastic that's obviously meant for the battery to nestle into. I had thought it also served the purpose of holding the battery in place, but it appears not.
