Third, the E-M5 Instruction Manual. Yeah, really! I knew I was going to be into this manual a lot, and wanted a hard copy I could mark up and fill with sticky notes. Rather than try to print out the PDF, I purchased a bound copy for $10 on the Olympus Support web site here: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_support_manuals.asp?id=1583 . It was well worth the money, for me. Be patient and assume that what you need to know IS in here somewhere – it probably is, really. Learn to follow the “cookie crumbs” pointing from one section to another related one (“see page xx.”) Take your camera in one hand, the manual in the other, and try things!
If you have found other good references, please point us to them!
