[QUOTE="Veritas, post: 631572, member: 43870"] I am in definite agreement that understanding the equipment is key and I am of the RFM era of product support (read the fricking manual)--the halcyon days of huge documentation sets that shipped with software and equipment. So I find the prospect of a 500-plus page tome on the subject of using my camera very exciting :). I didn't find the Busch guide to be overly technical. Since I had read the user manual a couple times before the camera even arrived, and had gone thru a lengthy 45 minute youtube tutorial on camera function twice, and then again with the camera in hand, pausing while I went through the different features, I guess I was angling for more. I had a sense of deja vu going through the manual :). I like technical and I like creative. But I am not comfortable using new technology unless I understand what's under the hood so to speak. I will even order repair manuals to better understand functionality. Just a personal quirk. When I found my dad's old rangefinder thrown in the back of a closet as a kid, there was no manual, no one around to show me how to use it, and no internet. I took it apart in my quest to understand how it worked, something that I was later horrified to have done and never did again, although it still works to this day, even down to the selenium cell light meter. I don't mind hacking away at something, but with a piece of equipment like this, something that offers so many features, and which is new to me, I will take all the help I can get. I don't mind a certain amount of overlap or redundancy in resources/manuals, either. Some books handle certain subjects better than others. So this is a round about way of saying I am happy to hear any suggestions and I will check them out and knowing me, order all of them. [/QUOTE]
