Before purchasing this camera, I
Before purchasing this camera, I felt I had a good background in camera operation, having extensively used my Nikonis II back in the 70s & 80s while scuba diving and spelunking. I understood the basics and tradeoffs of shutter speed, film speed (ISO), and f-stop. But with the Z5 II----yikes! I'm technically very sharp and can, given the time, figure out anything but getting spoon-fed on this with John's videos and pdfs is huge. Especially when you see the anemic Nikon users guide sheet that comes with the camera. Thanks! Curt
