Tried that, no luck. It keeps the date style, 12/24 hr format okay, but deletes the actual date/time everytime the power is shut off. Date and time adjust screen comes up when power is restored, but shows date as 01/01/2003 and time as 00:00. I'll probably give Pentax Colorado a call tomorrow and see if we can figure out if it's a problem with the camera or a problem with the nut behind the viewfinder.
