You can also get these manuals and many other on fiche from Infotech in
Colorado. They usually have an ad in Shutterbug. A little hunting will
usually produce a fiche reader for next to nothing. The worst part on these
cameras is the wind lever cap. It is easy to remove, but not easy to remove
without damage. OTW, they are one of the easiest tops to remove.
