Hello everyone,
I just updated my EOS R6 Mark II camera to the latest Firmware Version:

Me too! I like it that I can magnify the text on a soft copy.

Me three, I need to use a magnifying glass when reading manuals but with pdf soft copies one can increase the font size to ones confort reading size. 🔎

So we have three valid approaches
All perfectly valid methodologies, as long as the materials are available. I have never actually had to buy a 3rd-party manual except for my Sony RX-10IV because the menus are so awful and so is the original manual! In that case I found a few extra things that seriously improved the use of the camera. They were in the original manual, but rather buried.

I've always had printed manuals in the box for Canon cameras, but I don't think I've ever received a manual with a new Canon lens... just the usual paperwork.
I do keep the camera manuals for each body I carry with me in the side pouch of my camera bag. You are correct about occasionally needing them out in the field.
Like you and Trevor, I also like the online manuals, and download PDFs of each from Canon, just to have quick access. I'm a bit OCD with this stuff... I've even found old PDF manuals for all of my old film cameras that I still use. It's surprising since some of these are from the 1950's. Glad someone is thoughtful enough to share them online!

I agree with you, Trevor. The PDFs are so much nicer for the exact reasons you stated. However, out in the field, it's nice having the manuals in my camera bag.
