Although I did replace the battery, this has not solved the problem as it continues to not hold the date/time, but this information has to be reentered each time the camera is turned on again.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Is this a good question?

The CMOS battery is dead. On these, the battery is actually user serviceable (rare with Canon; they seem to go back and fourth a lot so when you have this you did well) so it can be done quickly:

As far as buying the CR1220 for the swap your best bet is batteries+bulbs. This is a weird battery you do not see in most big box stores. You may get lucky at a drug store like CVS or Walgreens but this is not something you will find at Walmart.
