Finally found a copy of this manual from "manuals.inc". The first company I tried sent two small books. Canon sent two smaller books. Manuals.inc sent ONE ring-bound version of it! It is full sized (8 1/2 x 11, all 611 pages plus the WiFi Instructions) with full sized print. This, to me, is much more useful than the separate smaller books. When I tried them in August they did not offer this manual. The demand must be great enough now.

I prefer manuals in pdf. The search function in pdf viewers makes it really easy and fast to find the info you need. Much easier than to look it up in paper manuals. With a 611 pages manual I think you should check if you can download a pdf version.

I downloaded the PDF form of the manual from the Canon website (http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0/0300024970/03/eos5d-mk4-im3-en.pdf)
Then printed it to 8.5x11" paper (on both sides of the paper)
Punched holes in the pages and put them all in a 3 ring binder - way easier to read!

I can add the pdf versions of manuals to iBooks and search, highlight and bookmark electronically. That is what I prefer. And I can have it on my phone, tablet and computer too...

I had mine printed out larger when I got my camera. I love the bigger size manual. I also have it downloaded on my phone in case I need it when I'm out shooting.

I've never used my manual. 90% of the functionality is the same as the 5D2 which I had before. If I can't figure something out, I google it.
