Manual for new RX10

ronboon50 — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 16:41:49 GMT

Does anyone know or have a link to download a comprehensive manual for the new RX10 camera. Sony have only supplied a skinny booklet which is not overly helpful to gain a deeper insight into the functions ( considering it cost £1047 this was a disappointing oversight)
Thanks in advance.

Hi ronboon50,

welcome to the Sony User Commiunty Forum..:smileyhappy:

Unfortunately I am unable to locate a link for the Sony DSC-RX10 User Manual in fact I am unable to even find this camera on the Sony Europe support site..

Best I can suggest is to either wait until one comes available, hopefully it wont be long, or if you're desperate contact Sony support & see if they can help - Contact Sony support

Hi there

I managed to find this site:

http://www.sony-asia.com/support/product/dsc-rx10

But then found out that for some reason I cannot download the manual??

Therefore I found this:

http://support.sony-asia.com.edgesuite.net/consumer/IM/4477083811.pdf

Hopefully it is not the same manual that you have.

Cheers

Hi Quinnicus,
Yes that user guide is the one supplied in the box with the camera, it's the user manual that is a bit more elusive..

Sony has still not managed to produce the full manual. I must admit to this being pretty poor for such an expensive camera.

I have the same problem.The instruction manual is not usefull.

It is incomprehensible!!! Unfortunately, Sony is not Canon or Nikon!

Hi
Thank you. This is a great step forward and appreciated.

Can you send a PDF file so I can view offline

I have posted some images on the Amateur Photographer magazine website (ron5054). I have also posted a reply to the Richard Sibley review mentioning the lack of manual support. It might be worth your team letting the photo press reviewers know of the availability of the manual

Hi
Thank you for trying. This small manual is included. What is required is a PDF of the new detailed in depth user guide so we can learn more about the cameras functions. Being able to have a version for use offline is better to carry.

Could you also let users know when a Sony will publish on line tutorials for the RX10 in a similar way to Nikon who provide very good user support

I wish I had a team, it's common mistake than many forum members make, but I & all of the other Experts on this forum are just users like yourself. We give up out time for free in order to help others like yourself overcome problems, etc..

As to a pdf version of the manual I am working on that will provide more info as soon as I can, stand by..:smileyhappy:

Hi hesimonf,

yes unfortuantely the link that Catmambo has provided although slightly different to the one that Quinnicus provided simply leads you to the same user guide that is included in the box with your RX10..

The link in my post above (copy DSC-RX10 User Manual..) will allow you to view an online version of the RX10 user manual..:smileywink:

Hi Thalamus, Many thanks.
P.S. Your pseud. “Thalamus” seems to indicate you are not only a photographer but also a neuroscientist, yes??

Ron... how do you like your new toy?

It's a toss-up between the RX10 and the OMD EM5 or FujiX-E2 for me at the moment.

But I'm really drawn by the RX10's 'Jack of all trades and actually master of most of them' approach.

I need to get into a store to have a play with one yet.

My biggest concern is that the image quality isn't up to scratch, given it has a smaller sensor than, say, a M4/3 camera.
