Manual: pages 17 through 21 "Basic Photography" This part of the manual tells how to turn the camera on, adjust the settings, frame a photograph, focus, check exposure, and take the photograph. I bet this is where most people stop reading the manual when they first get their camera.
Inspiration: I checked the book "Ansel Adams 400 Photographs" out from the local library. I'm sure I'll be looking through this book many times.
