It is a fine camera; but has many settings. The manual that came with the camera was on DVD and also in printed form; but it was not easy to read. This guide is written in clear language and is very comprehensive. I have found it very helpful in identifying what I need to purchase to complement this fine camera.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Meaty but ComplexBy traveldivaThis is a very helpful manual but it is not for the novice! In order to effectively master my newly acquired SLR camera; I find myself having to pause; practice and re-read the manuals contents several times to grasp the concepts because they are framed for a more advanced audience. I know that this will become a reliable reference manual once I have mastered the "Basic" concepts.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy CustomerGood book.
