RD-1s manuals in English

[ZorkiKat]

Sorry, someone may have asked about this before: is there a site where the English instruction booklet for the R-D1s can be downloaded? The cameras from Japan carry only Japanese instructions.

The PDF of the manual can be downloaded from Epson's dedicated R-D1 website- but being their usual untogether selves when it comes to supporting this camera, the link's broken!

However, it can be downloaded from elsewhere:

Thanks Rich. All the while, I thought that it was my computer which had the problem in downloading the files from the Epson site. Would the manual in the alternative site be applicable for the R-D1s?

I would think so. The changes from the R-D1 to R-D1s are few in number (though important to me) - can't recall all of them off the top of my head, but if you ferret around for a web page that describes what the firmware upgrade does it, that will serve fine as an "appendix" to the R-D1 manual.

To be honest, I've never actually got round to reading my manual properly (just a quick glance through a year ago to see (a) how the menu works and (b) what the cryptic white balance symbols on the dial meant), since the camera's very intuitive to use - most of the time I tend to shoot with the LCD folded-in, to preserve battery life!

Only got a 15 pages Quick Reference Guide with the R-D1s (English version).
The 54 pages of the R-D1 Users' Guide are more informative setting aside the new features of the R-D1s.

It is indeed so. I was able to see one "live" (a camera belonging to a new friend) only last week. I really felt like a fish taking to water when I held an R-D1 for the first time. The moment I got home from that meeting, I immediately went online and ordered one from Japan. 🙂

The manual would be important in the cases which you've described: mostly ware-related issues rather than shooting with the camera itself.

I got my R-D1s from Japan and downloaded the manual last week so hopefully the link still works.

Yes it works.
Thank you, John.

The link is dead or broken. Clicking on the "open" tab doesn't do anything.

I just tried the link and it opened straight up to the right page. Just try double clicking the link🙁
