Have you tried the cor****ate web site for a manual? FWIW - a prime
consideration for me on an EVF camera is the resolution of the EVF - I
can't stand the 110k pixel versions. What's the resolution here, or does
it matter to you. I chose a Kodak P850 on the strength of the 220k pixel
EVF and the feature set.
