Oooh. I don't think you really want to do that, because if you ever want the same picture without a timestamp, it can't really be removed. I'm not sure if the K-x even has such an option, but, like all digital cameras, it does store the time invisibly in the file's EXIF metadata.

So, what you should do is get one of the dozens of freeware programs which adds timestamps after the fact. You'll get more control over how it looks, and you can keep a copy of the un-stamped version too.
