I have searched carefully and cannot find a Canon SX50 HS users manual (the 280+ page version). Ebay lists them but all are from GB and carry high shipping costs and long delivery times. Canon has one online somewhere, but I could not figure out how to download it.

I got the camera from Adorama, refurbed by Nikon and costing $139; and I love it. I am looking forward to learning all its tricks.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Mercer

Hover down the bottom of that page and a little toolbar will show, click on the disk icon thingy on the left side of that toolbar to save copy to your computer.

I always download the PDF manual for several reasons. It can be carried around in your phone or tablet, you can bookmark things you want to find easily again and easier to read than the extremely small print in the post card size manuals. You can zoom in on your device if needed. The hard copy manual stays in the original box never to be seen again until the camera is sold or,given away.

Sure, go to: .www.us.canon.com/, that is the Canon USA consumer, home, and office section. Look under Powershots, find the SX50 HS user manual under brochures and manuals. Why did Nikon refurb a Canon product?

my 2 cents:

click on "[PDF]Camera User Guide" and it will download
says there are 286 pages or so .

If you bought your camera new, it is also on the CD that came with the camera. View the file that says "read me" :)

I bought the manual from britian (otc ltd) and was pleased. they ship within 12 hours of the order, and the book arrived in a short time. the site is print-my-pdf.com.

ManualsInk sells them all. Will run about $20 for an 8x10 large print version or about $5 for the pdf.

Plenty of good suggestions here. Be prepared, though, that this marvelous little camera has what is probably the worst manual in the world! Somebody with years of DSLR experience may be able to get some use out of it, but it was my first decent digital camera, and I was completely lost. There are *dozens* of hidden features on the camera, but you can't find them in the manual unless you know the name that Canon has given them. I spent an evening trying to take photographs of Christmas lights around town. Setting everything to manual, and giving it a shutter speed of around 1/60, the camera was taking exposures of about 3 seconds. It turns out that there is a feature to over-ride the user's choices if the camera feels that they would not give a good exposure. Ok, so how do you turn this off? Without knowing the Canon name, you can't... I don't remember it now - but it is turned off on my camera!

Seriously, I cannot speak highly enough of the SX50 - it is an incredible little device at $350 or whatever I paid for it. At the price it is available now, everyone should have one as a backup. Just don't expect to get much info from the manual, that's all!
