Rant – Learn to look it up for yourselves

It’s great to ask for opinions, and it’s great to ask questions, but did you even try to look it up yourself first?

Too often I see posts where someone asks a question about their camera only to find the answer in their manual.

If you can’t read your manual then get a field guide to your camera, watch a video, pay for an education course, call the manufacturer, or return the camera and try a hobby where you don’t have to read.

It’s beyond annoying when someone says, “What type of SD Cards does my camera use?”

It’s probably printed on the camera box, but if not it’s usually on one of the first few pages of your manual. Read your manual, read it again and just for grins, read it again.

If you can’t read it because the font is too small, then Print an 8.5x11 copy and put it in a binder, or better yet, download the PDF and read it on the computer magnified as large as you like. Still can’t read it, then get a magnifying glass or have someone read it for you.

I’m done looking up your manuals, downloading them and finding the answers you could have found yourself. I'm done doing your homework.

Please feel free to say, “I looked in the manual and I can’t find it.”
- I’m more than happy to help you, but if it’s on the first few pages I’m not even going to bother.

Google is your friend!

Amen brother, sometimes that helping hand is at the end of your own arm.

Not as bad as the ones who misspell the name of the camera sitting in front of them. That's failing the open book test.
