RE: canon camera user doc style

["technical writing plus" <doc-x -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

What Al said makes sense to me, and I believe that this solution (of
providing just a few of the basics, in an advanced user manual for a
consumer electronics product) is standard in the industry. If it's not a
standard practice, then it should be. 

I don't think that Jessica is saying that she thought that she could skip
the basic manual. She's just saying that it would be easier if they were to
have included just a few of the basics in the advanced manual.

... give basic information in the basic manual and advance information in
the advanced manual...It's not their fault that you thought you could skip
the basic manual and later found out you can't...
