I find the E-500 user manual isnt too bad. It explains
the basic stuff. People often ask how they can start
to use more of the features in the camera. I tell them
to start in auto and work their way around slowly.
Experiment on their own. Isnt that we did with manual
SLR's back in the day?

The FL-50 manual is another story. It was very
confusing. Thankfully I only borrowed my friend's
flash and manual temporarily.

I believe your attack on Khen's use of the english
language is uncalled for. This is an informal list,
people have their own style of writing, and their own
command of the English language.
