Hi, have managed to get a grip of most of the settings by trial and error. The manual is poor with regard to info and it's a shame that there is not a good book to guide you through the camera. Have found the jpgs excellent and the camera has some good features. Love the macro settings and have managed to get some good photos. This camera is a joy to use once you get to grips with it. Would be nice to hear from other members with their experiences using the camera.
