Paul, It's a big manual. I have it sitting beside the couch and have been reading it on and off trying to find those things Ihave noo idea about that I saw while doing the setup. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is likely to use the level control. It works in live view and movie mode, which is helpful when holding the camera and a foot of lens at arm's length so you can see what you are filming. I think for movies I will stick to using a tripod.
The flash should work fine in auto mode. It tend to either use the AF360 in full P-TTL or AF500 in manual mode (still to be tried but I don't think there will be any problems. I have a party next week to see how well it works for party photos.
