camera manual

Photographer's reference booklet

A camera manual is the instructional booklet that accompanies a camera, explaining its features, controls, and operation.

Camera manuals range from basic quick-start guides to comprehensive references covering every setting and function: I had to dig out the camera manual to figure out how to change the ISO.

Often consulted once and forgotten, or never opened at all.
