K-3 Manual available for download

The format of the manual has changed. The pages now have a width that is greater than its height (in other words, the pages are in landscape format).

Yeah and there's only 114 pages not 383 as with my K5. Oh and the last page says Ricoh Imaging and not Hoya Corporation

The specifications had led me to believe that HSS support was available from the on-board flash, but according to the manual.... It's not..

Why would you expect to? Interval Movies are Motion JPEG saved in an .avi container.

Saw it first on Whirlpool. Thanks to Perthax

Where is the manual in American English?

I remember trying to read the K-5 manual when it showed up. I think I got through it, but I didn't remember anything it said. It was considerably longer than this one.

Yup, it's quite a gripping read!! The author is not listed, I'm guessing 'Robert Galbraith'

Should we wait to see which studio buys the movie rights? Or who do we think should play the main lead character?
