I am slowly discovering mostly how the K5 works but am frustrated with the manual. My hands cannot cope adequately with this stiff backed booklet.
There must be alternative manuals. Can a K5 user give reccommendations, please.

regards Thoramay.
mayday

Hi, here was my solution to the problem, overkill I know.

And an expensive solution, but it works. The death of the instruction manual is a pity - I'm sure far less people read the CD version that ever read a manual. At least with the DSLRs we still do get a manual in paper form, albeit a much reduced one in page size (though not in page count!)
Best regards, John

Thanks for the brilliant response. I can browse this version at my leasure and at a print size I can read comfortably. It takes me a while for the information to sink in. Having it quickly available on screen is a brilliant solution. Thanks again, guys. The Forum never fails me,

regards Thoramay.
