Is there any freeware out there which will read the time/date from a digital
camera image and automatically embed it into the image so i can have a
date/time at the bottom of the pics i take on my Fuji2800Zoom.

Can i 'batch' do this so all my pics are saved on my HD with the time/date
stamp at the bottom of the picture automatically.

Cheers

ImageMagick <http://www.imagemagick.org> can do that from the command
line. For example, this command adds the date (in red) to the lower
right corner of an image:

convert DSC12345.jpg -gravity southeast -fill red -font
Arial-bold -pointsize 16 -draw "text 10,10 '%[EXIF:datetime]'"
DSC12345_dated.jpg

To do the same for every jpeg image in a folder, /overwriting/ the
original images:

mogrify -gravity southeast -fill red -font Arial-bold -pointsize
16 -draw "text 10,10 '%[EXIF:datetime]'" *.jpg
