Latest manuals for DPP and R-series bodies unavailable.

[BadJunk]

Hello folks,

Trying to download latest manuals for both Digital Photo Pro SW and camera body. The download page presents a link to the online HTML version(s) as well as a link to "Download Software" which just loops back to support pages.

The online version is fine if I am sitting at my desktop doing homework. When I am in the field, however, i really need a local version as I do not always have Internet access, to say nothing of high speed.

Really need a "portable" version I can access offline. This capability seems to have disappeared some months ago. Can anyone offer a solution here?

Thanks in advance,
D.

garymak,

Totally agree. This should be 2 minutes "work" on the part of some poor documentation person. Can't give us that?

Ouch.

Best,
D.

FWIW, I use the Chrome browser and it has a PDF extension, which I assume other browsers do as well. I just went (7/4/24) to the Canon U.S.A. support site for the EOS R and clicked "View" for the EOS R "Advanced Users Guide" and it popped right open in my browser. With the extension, there is a download option so you can get the PDF to view on your system when off-line.

Apparently, Canon has done away with the HTML only manual for this camera unless they have some sort of way to determine if you have a PDF reader available.

I do have the free Acrobat Reader installed and that may well be why I can open/download PDF manuals, which I have loads of for reference material. You need a PDF reader anyway, IMO, and Adobe's free reader is as good as any 🙂

Thanks Newton,

Yup, eventually found the PDF for the body. This helps keep me out of the dark while in the field. Would be nice to have the SW manual as well.

Best,
D.
