The objection to having to repeatedly refer to a camera manual seems poorly thought out. You consult the manual once for each of the simple operations Paal cites, and you're done for life if you have any memory cells in your brain at all. The same thing applies absolutely equally to the MZ-S or PZ-1p manuals, or to the manuals for any other camera, for that matter.
What you indeed MIGHT need to consult repeatedly as you operate the MZ-S is the little Pentax Functions card that comes with it, because, as I mentioned, the MZ-S LCD provides nothing but the numerical setting for the 17 Pentax Functions, with no additional characters that can remind you what the function is, and what the setting is doing. The PZ-1p has MUCH clearer indications in the LCD as to what the 15 pentax Functions are. No need to carry the PZ-1p Pentax Functions card, and certainly no need to carry EITHER manual for EITHER body So, if any paperwork for either camera has to be kept near to hand in operation of the camera, it is clearly the MZ-S PF card. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
