Setting the date and time on the Rebel XSi/450D ensures that the data that travels with each image file has the correct date and time stamp. This data is stored with the image metadata. Metadata is a collection of all the information about an image, including the filename, date created, size, resolution, color mode, camera make and model, exposure time, ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, lens data, and white balance setting.
