2PREPARING YOUR DC E53+ FOR USE
2.1 Installing the Battery
We highly recommend you use only the specified rechargeable
lithium-ion battery for your digital still camera. Make sure that
the power of the camera is off before inserting or removing the
battery.
1. Open the battery/SD memory card cover (A).
2. Insert the battery in the correct orientation shown (B).
Move the battery lock lever in the direction of the arrow.
Place the battery so that its label is facing the rear side of the
camera, and then insert the battery.
3. Close the battery/SD memory card cover (C).
To remove the battery:
Open the battery/SD memory card cover and then release the
battery lock lever. When the battery has come out a little, slowly
pull it out the rest of the way.
2.2 Charging the Battery
The battery charge status affects the performance of the DC E53+. To
maximize the performance and life of the battery, it is recommended
that you fully charge the battery using the optional AC power adapter
and then fully discharge it (through normal use) at least one time.
Make sure that the power of the camera is off before inserting the
battery.
1. Insert the conversion adapter into the conversion adapter
terminal of the camera as shown in the illustration.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the DC IN terminal
of the conversion adapter.
3. Connect the other end of the AC power adapter to a wall outlet.
Charging times differ depending on the ambient temperature and the status of the
battery.
Notes
• The DC E53+ must be used with the specified AC power adapter. Damage caused
by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
• Always make sure that the camera is off before removing the battery.
• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being
used. This is normal and not a malfunction.
• When using the camera in cold environments, keep the camera and its battery
warm by holding it inside your jacket or other warm protective environment.

2.3 Using an AC Power Adapter
Using an AC power adapter prevents the DC E53+ from automatically powering off while
transferring files to your computer.
See the preceding section to learn how to charge the battery.
2.4 Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card
(Optional Accessory)
The DC E53+ is equipped with internal memory, allowing you to record video clips, capture
images, or voice files in the digital still camera. However, you can also expand the memory
capacity by using an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory card to store more files.
1. Always make sure the digital still camera is turned off before
inserting or removing a memory card.
2. Insert an SD memory card with the correct orientation as
shown in the illustration.
3. Close the battery/SD memory card cover.
To remove the SD memory card, make sure the camera is
turned off. Press lightly on the edge of the memory card and
it will eject.
Note
Make sure that you use only the AC power adapter specified for the camera. Damage
caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
Notes
• Be sure to format the SD memory card with
this digital still camera before using it.
• To prevent valuable data from being acci-
dentally erased from an SD card, you can
slide the write-protect tab (on the side of the
SD memory card) to “LOCK”.
• To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card, you must unlock the card.
• While formatting the internal memory, do not insert a memory card into the
camera. Otherwise, the memory card is formatted instead of the camera’s internal
memory.
• Formatting is an irreversible action and data cannot be recovered at a later time.
Back up your data before formatting.
• An SD memory card having read or write problems may not be properly
formatted.

3.1.3.1.1 Setting the White Balance
The human eye adapts to changes in light so that white objects still appear white even when
the light changes. With a digital camera, however, the color of the subject is influenced by the
color of the light surrounding it. This color adjustment is called "white balance adjustment".
This setting allows you to set the white balance when capturing images under specific lighting
conditions.
3.1.3.1.2 Adjusting the White Balance Manually
Manual white balance lets you configure the digital still camera for a particular light source
and other conditions. Note that you must perform manual white balance under the same
conditions you will be shooting. You must also have a piece of white paper or any other
similar object on hand in order to perform this function.

3.1.3.2.1 Continuous Capture
In continuous capture mode, you can capture a rapid sequence of images with one press of
the shutter button. This function is very useful for photographing objects in motion where it
is difficult to determine the precise moment of capture. Afterwards, you may review the
sequence of images to select the best one.
1. Use the S/Tbuttons to select [CONTINUOUS ], then
press the OK button.
2. To exit from the menu, press the button.
The indicator is displayed on the monitor screen.
3. Press the shutter button down halfway to lock the focus.
4. Press the shutter button down all the way to capture images.
Capturing will stop when the shutter button is released.
3.1.3.2.2 Auto-Exposure Bracketing (AEB)
Auto-exposure bracketing is an effective technique when it is difficult to determine the precise
exposure of a scene. Using AEB the camera will capture a sequential burst of three images at
three different exposure settings. Afterwards, you may review the sequence of images to select
the best exposure.
