Apr 7, 2018 at 9:15 comment added flolilo @LowellMontgomery I can't prove/refute a poorly written manual. I only know that the GER one is superb - It's one of the few manuals I use in German, not English, because it really makes no difference. But of course, there might be worse ones - and maybe even some alarmingly bad ones. But if the manual said "Please wash your guinea pig to shoot down cameras", I would definitely state that I read the manual & it wasn't helpful at all, that it was confusing, even. Also, the INFO-concept is the same on all Canon-DSLRs I know of, so a lot of Turkish people should have that problem in this case.
Apr 7, 2018 at 7:04 comment added aaaaa says reinstate Monica @LowellMontgomery StackExhachange philosphy is that OP must show effort and work. Not all of it, but mentioning it is good enough. It is 150% OK to not be proficient at reading english, or just reading any text. It's not OK to google for merely 10 second and come ask question
Apr 7, 2018 at 7:00 comment added Lowell Montgomery @aaaaaa Even so, I have empathy for someone not figuring out a technical issue, if the camera and/or manual are not in their mother tongue or not translated well for that. I would hesitate to chide someone for not having read the manual.

Apr 7, 2018 at 5:14 comment added Lowell Montgomery Having been involved in technical documentation and translation, and having been frustrated by some poorly-written manuals, I'd like to offer benefit of the doubt to someone from Turkey, whose native-tongue version of the manual may not be up to par. ;-)
