The User Manual of your camera is an essential part of it and you have to protect it as if it were another button. Yes, yes, I know that sometimes (or almost always) it is very boring, that it is written in an excessively bland language, difficult to understand and repellent (it seems that they do it on purpose), but even so it is essential to have it, even if it is to consult it from time to time and in an isolated way to resolve specific doubts. Something for future reference shall we say.
PDF MANUALS
Whether or not you keep the physical manual for your camera in paper format, whether you have read it in detail, or not at all, today I bring you the manuals in PDF version of the most common SLR cameras on the market (the ones I have been able to find , I hope yours is included).
The magic of the manual in PDF version is that:
- It is very fast when looking for a specific reference (Ctrl+F and you look for what interests you).
- It is very easy to store and does not take up space.
- You can make as many copies of it as you need (you keep one on your home computer, another in your Gmail, for example, or on your mobile...).
- You can read/save it on various readers, on the Kindle, on the iPhone, on the iPad...
USER MANUALS FOR THE MOST POPULAR SLR CAMERAS
The criteria by which some cameras appear on this list and others are not is very simple: I have tried to focus on the most popular cameras among amateur and professional users. During the search I have had some limitations since some manufacturers do not publish the manuals of all their camera models, Pentax normally requires you to be a registered user on their website to be able to access the manuals (what a thing...!). I have also included some relatively old cameras because it is easy for us to have lost the manual and sometimes it is difficult to find a copy of it.
I hope you find your model here below. Anyway this is a living article which I plan to feed regularly with new updates and cameras as they come up.
If you miss any manual, do not hesitate to add it in the comments, we will try to update it as soon as possible. And if you want to delve deeper into a brand, don't miss our encyclopedia of cameras where you will find all the digital cameras.
