A77 Can one buy additional manual

Hi
1. Does anyone know if and where in the UK you can buy an additional hardcopy manual.
2. Can you get this manual on the iPhone 4S?

This toy is so complicated unless I used it 3 times a week I think I'd forget how to use it! Hence nice to have a pristine manual as the amount of use I'll give this one it will be in tatters very quickly.
Er, maybe it will just stay on AUTO+

Such a shame they recently closed down all the fabulous Sony support in the UK and farmed it all out to Egypt.

I now can't understand a word they are saying; and when you've eventually decyphered what they are trying to tell you, you find out that they know jack all about the products. My new Vaio,and ES Hi-Fi, and now this camera. So you can imagine I gave up asking them for recommendations on Memory cards for the A77; when for the 3rd time she got the spelling of 'DUO' wrong!

Well, you could download the .pdf user manual and keep it in our laptop and/or print off a copy (finding what you need on the .pdf computer is so much easier due to the Adobe Reader search function.

As for a replacement hard copy like the original, best thing would be to go to Sony's website and either send an email or phone them. I'm sure you'll get a price and/or availability should they hold any in stock.

To be fair, its not really reasonable to ask a manufacturer to do this, and I don't think this is something you'd expect. At best they might recommend something with a Sony label on it...

Any memory card will work in it anyway - just get the fastest and cheapest out of Sandisk / Lexar or Transcend. And don't buy one on Ebay as it'll be a fake.

An dif you want reasonable prices look at 7dayshop.com but get in quick cos, their VAT-free loophole is being closed soon (they ship from the Channel Islands).

Just download a copy from the Sony Site and get the Gary Friedman ebook!. i am loving it. must have!!!

Another vote for the Gary Friedman book. I bought the A77 one this week and it is amazing. Infinitely more usefull than the Sony manual. If you buy the PDF version you also get the kindle version which you can use on your iPhone with a downloadable kindle reader. Bargain!

With regard to info on things like memory cards, lenses and other accessories your best bet is to just ask here. The knowledge within the Dyxum membership is immense. I've never needed to go elsewhere to ask a question, I've always received my answers here.
