Setting the Time Zone, Date and Time (EOS REBEL T5i / EOS 700D)

Solution

When you turn on the power for the first time or if the time zone and date/time have been reset, the Time zone and Date/Time setting screens will appear. Follow the steps below to set the time zone first. You can also set the time zone of your current address. Then if you travel to another time zone, you can simply set your destinations time zone so that the correct date/time is recorded.
Note that the date/time appended to recorded images will be based on this date/time setting. Be sure to set the correct date/time.
