Gfx100rf user manual

Hello:

Does anyone have a download link for the Gfx100rf user manual?   I’d like to get a head start on learning this camera while on backorder.

I cannot find it anywhere either so it seems like a case of patience while we wait.

OK I guess I will need to be patient. I did download the manual for the closest spec detachable lens version of 100mp sensor camera but there are quite a few operational differences.  I didn’t want to even bother attempting that manual!

For this issue, YouTube has started to become my best friend, through repetitious watching of some specific movie files.  
 

I appreciate your reply.

The manual has landed!

Fantastic thanks for the link!  Now I need to start reading up on this great camera.  Hope my backorder fills soon.  Ordered the day after my dealer started taking orders so hopefully there are not 500,00 orders ahead of me!  

Also am a bit concerned that my US-based dealer will jack the price because of impending tariffs.  IF yes, my backorder will be a distant memory because I will not pay a cent more than advertised when I placed my order.  Emailed my vendor and they were ambiguous in their reply.   I don't know their policy on price fluctuations for backordered products.

I collect my black camera this Friday. So also busy browsing the manual…….

somewhat jealous but DO enjoy your new machine!    I just checked with my retailer here in the States and I'm still on backorder with no other updates.   Our dealer initially thought deliveries should start by the end of April.  Guess I'll have time to read up on the new RF.

I have two niggles. The On/Off switch is very easily put on when camera is put in or out of a bag. The other small niggle is the front cover that clips onto the hood, is similarly easily no longer solidly on, when put into a bag and the sides of the bag touch it!

Apart from those minor irritations, very happy with my choice.

Still looks like a great camera but unfortunately I had to cancel my backorder.

I have slight tremors, not Parkinson’s. Did some testing at 60th of a second at F4 on an A7cr with a 25mm prime mounted. With image stabilization turned off on the cr, the files are mush when viewed at 200%.  With stabilization turned on I can shoot my Sony camera easily add a 15th of a second and the images are tack sharp at the same magnification.

I can’t justify spending $5000 on a camera only  to have some of its capabilities unusable because of that lack of a beneficial feature. 

I hope you enjoy your new machine!

Sorry to hear about that, yes I like the RF very much, the two niggles aside, haven’t taken any images under 1/60th yet, but I like the way it handles, going to be a keeper for sure. I also have a Nikon Z6III with lenses up to 300mm.

[Ski542002]

Yes it was a very frustrating decision to make.

Of course the only benefit is not having spent a huge chunk of money!   Good shooting to you.

I can only imagine, but as you say you do save money.
