One good thing about PDF and other digital format manuals versus printed is the ability to search for things. I used to prefer printed materials, but increasingly I'm won over by digital manuals... especially the way I tend to use them.
Thanks for the compliment on my reading the manual. I do have a joke on this sort of situation "When all else fails read the instructions." But I don't actually follow that as, being an old guy mired in film era thinking, I could never manage use of a camera as complicated as the K-1 without a lot of manual referral and help. Since it's been over three years my K-1 manual is in tatters with a large amount of scotch tape holding it together.
It's a beautiful, although cold, day here in the Colorado mountains so I'm off to shoot the Sangre de Cristo range. Thanks again for the help - it's nice to have the camera operating again as I want it to.
