For those who have smart phones, just take your manuals with you on your phone. That way, they don't take any additional room or weight.

I've got one for you, though.DON'T leave your camera sealed in the box for days after you get it. The longer you wait the more likely you are to lose the receipt and/or miss the return period if it's a camera you don't like or it's defective. Take it out right away, in the car if you have to to check it over for damage or defects. Working in consumer electronics for many years I've learned that the sooner you make sure it's a good product the better. Excellent tips! I've got one for you, though.

I started taking my manual with me out in the field last year. I have used it on several occasions to solve different on-site challenges. The best tip is to read the manual and experiment with the controls. Don't be afraid of the camera, it won't bite! Excellent tips. I started taking my manual with me out in the field last year.
