So my sister calls me and she got a used SX200 from someone and it is displaying the clock in the 24 hour format and she is apparently not smart enough to figure this out. I downloaded the manual for it and I can't see a way of changing it to the am/pm format. I was hoping someone that might have a Powershot could have a look at their menu system and see if there is a way to do accomplish this. Really how hard is it to take the current time in the afternoon and add 12 to it. Duh!


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

Just like with the big cameras - can't be changed. I suspect that's because the EXIF spec. calls for storing the time as an ASCII 24 hr. time value, rather than a 12 hr. AM/PM.

Thanks Jon. I figured as much and it will give me great pleasure to inform my sister that she will actually have to learn something. I love her dearly but that sibling rivalry is always there.:):)
