Hi, I recently bought a Nikon S9100 and it brought a small paper starting guide, but the real manual came as a PDF 200-page document in a CD, so I printed it both sides at home and now I have a very complete and well designed manual which I'm reading slowly chapter by chapter in order to take most advantage of this camera. I owned a Sony Cybershot P-73 for 7 years and now I have a lot of new functions to learn (face detection, focus moving subjects, 18X optical zoom, stabilizing image, and so on). Regarding the functions, this camera is in the midway between a small P&S; cameras and it's worth to carefully read the manual and practice, practice and practice a lot!!

I put the manual on a CD and took it to the local Staples copy center and had it printed and spiral bound. Cost was about $15 plus tax. Kinkos or another copy center could do the same thing. I wanted a paper manual to have with me and the camera. After I learn the features, it might get lost in a drawer, but for now was well worth the cost.

I just bought a ZS7 and there is a basic printed instruction manual to get you started, but the total operating manual is on a CD that comes with the camera. It's a 90 page (8-1/2 x 11) single side print job for your printer. The sheet is divided in half so it would be a 180 page 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 size book printed on one side, or 90 pages printed on both sides. I wish Panasonic or an after-market printer offered this manual because there are plenty of us out there who like to have their manuals handy when there are things we want to do with this camera that we're not quite sure of.

I agree on the manual. I took the .pdf file for the big manual to a local chain office supply store, and had them make a bound hard copy of the manual for me. It was ~$24 (in black and white-which is fine), but well worth it. Within 5 minutes of reading the manual, with cam in hand, I learned several things that I had glossed over due to the electronic-only version of the manual provided by Panasonic.

Yes, the place i ordered the manual is: ManualsInk.com. I ordered the Manual paper version, but I thinks you can get it for download. I recommend the paper version as it may be much easier to referrance. It comes spirial bound and a reasonable cardboard cover. I do not have a phone #. It cost me $ 17.41 and that included shipping. It may be a bit more. I have found it to be very helpful. Their address is PO Box 14486 Archdale, N.C 27263. Good luck and enjoy this wonderful camera

Mine came with a manual, but you can review one online first: http://mypdfmanuals.com/dref/337994. For a small, lightweight printing calculator at ~$12 with shipping it's a great deal. Robert

thank you for replying, actually I did finally find them on the camera when I turned the dial to custom. Do you know where I could find an expanded users manual? You would think this kind of info would have come with the camera.

Susan, FYI ..... I responded to your question in the "How is this ZS7 different from ZS6" posting where you asked a similar question.Let me just add here that that GPS function is independent from date imprinting. All the GPS does is optionally set the camera date and time. So, with a ZS7 you can set the date and time in the camera memory manually or have the camera automatically retrieve this information from the GPS when it is set on and is locked to a signal. The date and time are entered into the camera memory manually in the ZS5 and ZS6.

ZS7 uses the bcg10pp but older version of this battery will not work since the ZS7 requires firmware 1.3 on the battery otherwise it will turn off.. as of the battery itself it doesnt indicate which version it has. Most of the vendor now should carry the version 1.3 battery. Panasonic makes it extremely confusing to buyer because they should simply create another sku so consumer would not be confuse as of which battery is suitable for their camera.

I got an owners manual with mine. I also bought one for my son and he received an owners manual with his.

Hi,As far as I know they never set the Zi12 in full production. This listing is legit however, the product exists, so someone probably got hold of the few(?) ones that were actually made. If you buy it (like I did) there will be no support from Kodak or firmware updates etc. The camera in itself is wonderful and works perfectly though!

Thank you for your help and relay of information. I have purchased the ZS3 and absolutely love it! It just came, so am eager to spend some 'quality' time with it.

Yes there's a manual but I wouldn't buy this camera again. It's very slow! In fact I intend to sell my "used one time" camera when I return to states.

Yes...really good manual....no regrets on this purchase except the mini tripod mine came with. It is useless with this camera.

Yes. Also, the manual for this model is at http://www.docs.sony.com/release/ZSRS09CP.pdf, if you have any other questions.

I think it had both a manual and an automatic flash setting. I can't remember for sure because the Z70 I got broke soon after I got it. Fujifilm refused to honor the warranty, but fortunately Amazon came through with a refund. My experience with Fujifilm has led me to warn people off of all Fujifilm products. A company that is that customer hostile is not a company you want to have anything to do with.

Get an FZ35. The control system and layout are nearly identical to the ZS7. Take away the EVF and the big zoom and it would be a ZS7. The ZS7 has the same IA, SCN, dial modes, and PASM as an FZ. If you can use a ZS, you can use an FZ.The advantage of the FZ is the EVF. If you don't intend to use it, you don't need an FZ.All the camera manufacturers have simple tutorials on their sites. Kodak, Canon, Nikon are all good for beginners.
