3 Recharge the battery. For LC-E5
As shown by the arrow, flip out the battery chargers prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet.

For LC-E5E

LC-E5E Connect the power cord to the charger and insert the plug into the power outlet. Recharging starts automatically and the charge lamp turns red. When the battery is fully recharged, the charge lamp will turn green. It takes about 2 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and batterys charge level.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used. Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually discharge and lose its power. After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the charger from the power outlet. When not using the camera, remove the battery. If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing the battery after it is fully charged can lower the batterys performance. The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries. The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/ 60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger. If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully charged, the battery has worn out. Purchase a new battery.

Checking the Battery Level
When the power switch is set to <1>, the battery level will be indicated in one of four levels: z : Battery level is OK. x : Battery level is slightly down, but adequate power remains. c : Battery will be exhausted soon. n : Battery must be recharged. Battery Life

Shooting Conditions 50% Flash Use 400 380
The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E5, shooting through the viewfinder, and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.
The actual number of shots may be fewer than indicated above depending on the shooting conditions. Pressing the shutter button halfway for long periods or operating only the autofocus can also reduce the number of possible shots. The number of possible shots will decrease with more frequent use of the LCD monitor. The lens operation is powered by the cameras battery. Depending on the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower. Using the Image Stabilizer of the lens will decrease the number of possible shots (shorter battery life). For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 107.
3 Setting the Date and Time
When you turn on the power for the first time or if the date/time has been reset, the Date/Time setting screen will appear. Follow steps 3 and 4 to set the date/time. Note that the date/time appended to recorded images will be based on this Date/Time setting. Be sure to set the date/time.

This chapter explains how to use the Basic Zone modes on the Mode Dial for best results and how to playback images.
With the Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot and the camera sets everything automatically (p.198). Also, to prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, major shooting settings cannot be changed in the Basic Zone modes. The settings (functions set automatically) which cannot be set by the user are grayed out.
About the Auto Lighting Optimizer
In the Basic Zone modes, the Auto Lighting Optimizer will adjust the image automatically to obtain the optimum brightness and contrast. It is also enabled by default in the Creative Zone modes (p.186).

The focus confirmation light <o> blinks and focus is not achieved. Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast, then press the shutter button halfway (p.192). If you are too close to the subject, move away and try again. Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously. This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. As long as the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, you can take the picture. The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus confirmation light <o> also does not light.) It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving subject. (The focus confirmation light <o> does not light.) While the beeper is beeping, you can press the shutter button completely to shoot a moving subject in focus. Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject. When the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (Manual Focus), the camera does not focus. Set the focus mode switch to <AF> (Auto Focus). Although it is daylight, the flash popped up. For a backlit subject, the flash may pop up to help reduce harsh shadows on the subject. In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes. To assist the autofocusing, pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes. This is called AFassist beam. It is effective up to approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet away. Although flash was used, the picture came out dark. The subject was too far away. The subject should be within 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out unnaturally dark. The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created by the lens. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the camera. If a hood has been attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.

About AUTO for Automatic ISO Speed
If the ISO speed is set to AUTO, the actual ISO speed to be set will be displayed when you press the shutter button halfway. As indicated below, the ISO speed will be set automatically to suit the shooting mode.
Shooting Mode 1/3/4/5/6/7/C/ d/s/f/a With flash ISO Speed Setting Automatically set within ISO 100 - 1600 Fixed at ISO 100 Fixed at ISO 400 Fixed at ISO 400*
* If fill flash results in overexposure, ISO 100 or a higher ISO will be set. * If an external Speedlite is used for bounce flash, ISO 400 - 1600 will be set automatically.
When AUTO is set, the ISO speed will be displayed in whole-stop increments of 100, 200, 400, 800, or 1600. However, the actual ISO speed may be set more precisely. Therefore, in the images shooting information, you may find an ISO speed like 125 or 640 displayed as the ISO speed.
D Using the Built-in Flash
In indoors, low light, or backlit conditions in daylight, just pop up the built-in flash and press the shutter button to take flash pictures. In the <d> mode, the shutter speed (1/60 sec. - 1/200 sec.) will be set automatically to prevent camera shake.

If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed. By increasing the ISO speed, you can extend the flash range. In bright light, decrease the ISO speed. If the exposure setting in the viewfinder blinks, decrease the ISO speed. Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject. If the lens has a hood attached or you are too close to the subject, the bottom of the picture might look dark due to the obstructed flash. For important shots, check the image on the LCD monitor to make sure the flash exposure looks good (not dark at the bottom).

However, the captured image will reflect the exposure setting. If flash is used or bulb is set, the <g> icon and histogram will be grayed out (for your reference). The histogram might not be properly displayed in low or bright light conditions.

Using AF to FocusN

Selecting the AF Mode
The AF modes available are [Live mode], [u Live mode] (face detection, p.112), and [Quick mode] (p.116). If you want to achieve precise focusing, set the lens focus mode switch to <MF>, magnify the image, and focus manually (p.118).

Select the AF mode.

Under [6 Live View function settings], select [AF mode]. While the Live View image is displayed, you can press <0> to select the AF mode on the Quick Control screen.

If the focus is way off, face detection will not be possible. If the lens enables manual focusing even while the lens focus switch is set to <f>, turn the focusing ring to attain rough focus. The face will then be detected and <p> will be displayed. An object other than a human face might be detected as a face. Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, too bright or too dark, titled horizontally or diagonally, or partially hidden. The <p> focusing frame might cover only part of the face. When you press the <L> button, the AF mode will switch to the Live mode (p.111). You can press the <S> key to switch to another AF point. Press the <L> button again to return to the u (face detection) Live mode. Since AF is not possible with a face detected near the edge of the picture, the <p> will be grayed out. Then if you press the <A> button, the center AF point < > will be used to focus.
Live Mode and u (Face Detection) Live Mode Notes
AF operation Focusing will take slightly longer. Even when focus has been achieved, pressing the <A> button will focus again. The image brightness may change during and after the AF operation. If the light source changes while the Live View image is displayed, the screen might flicker and focusing can be difficult. If this happens, stop the Live View shooting and autofocus under the actual light source first. If you press the <u> button in the Live mode, the AF point area will be magnified. If it is difficult to focus in the magnified view, return to the normal view and autofocus. Note that the AF speed may differ between the normal and magnified views. If you autofocus in the Live modes normal view and then magnify the image, the focus might be off. In the u Live mode, pressing the <u> button will not magnify the image.

File numbering after replacing the card

Card-1

Card-2
Next sequential file number
[Auto reset]: Resets the file numbering to 0001 whenever the card is replaced. Each time you replace the card, the file numbering restarts from 0001. This is convenient if you want to organize images according to cards. If the replacement card contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card. To restart the file numbering from 0001, you should use a newly-formatted card.

File numbering is reset

[Manual reset]: To reset the file numbering to 0001 manually or to start from file number 0001 in a new folder When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder starts from 0001. This is convenient when you want to use different folders for the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.
If the file number in folder No. 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will display a message to replace the card. Replace with a new card. For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with IMG_. Movie file names will start with MVI_. The extension will be.JPG for JPEG images,.CR2 for RAW images, and.MOV for movies.

This [Auto] setting is effective in most cases. 2: On Noise reduction is performed for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. The [On] setting may be effective for noise that cannot be detected or reduced with the [Auto] setting.
After the picture is taken, the noise reduction process may take the same amount of time as the exposure. You cannot take another picture until the noise reduction process is completed. At ISO 1600 and higher, noise might be more pronounced at the 2 setting than at the 0 or 1 setting. With setting 2, if a long exposure is used during Live View shooting, BUSY will be displayed and the Live View display will not appear untill the noise reduction process is completed. (You cannot take another picture.)

C.Fn-5

High ISO speed noise reduction
Reduces the noise generated in the image. Although noise reduction is applied at all ISO speeds, it is particularly effective at high ISO speeds. At low ISO speeds, the noise in the shadow areas is further reduced. Change the setting to suit the noise level. 0: Standard 1: Low 2: Strong 3: Disable
With setting 2, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will decrease.

C.Fn-6

Highlight tone priority
0: Disable 1: Enable Improves the highlight detail. The dynamic range is expanded from the standard 18% gray to bright highlights. The gradation between the grays and highlights becomes smoother.
With setting 1, noise in the shadow areas may be slightly more than usual. With setting 1, the settable ISO speed range will be 200 - 3200. Also, the <A> icon will be displayed on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder when highlight tone priority is enabled.

C.Fn-7

Auto Lighting Optimizer
If the images comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast are corrected automatically. The settings made with the camera can be reflected in RAW images when the images are processed with Digital Photo Professional (provided software). 0: Standard 1: Low 2: Strong 3: Disable
Depending on the shooting conditions, noise might increase. This function will not work if manual exposure or bulb exposure has been set. In the Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically.
C.Fn-8 AF-assist beam firing
The AF-assist beam can be emitted by the cameras built-in flash or by the external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite. 0: Enable 1: Disable The AF-assist beam is not emitted. 2: Only external flash emits If an external, EOS-dedicated Speedlite is attached, it will emit the AFassist beam when necessary. The cameras built-in flash will not fire the AF-assist beam.
If the external, EOS-dedicated Speedlites [AF-assist beam firing] Custom Function is set to [Disabled], the Speedlite will not emit the AF-assist beam even if the cameras C.Fn-8-0/2 is set.
