Default Rtfm....

For those of you in the IT business, the term RTFM is probably familiar to you. For those who aren't familiar with the term, it means Read The F'n Manual. So, with that said, I decided to dust off my inexpensive Canon camera in preparation for our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii shortly. While playing with the settings I took some test photos of my car in the garage. They are interesting to say the least. I got a laugh when I saw the fish eye version and the monochrome version. Thought I'd post them for laughs.





Monochrome....pretty boring...







A littlle bloated....LOL

That looks like Scion tried to copy a C7...

Trick photos can be a lot of fun.

RTFM really applies with the relatively small C7 owner’s manual, a good bit of which is irrelevant to many, all the pages about child seats.

Compare that with the near telephone book sized manual for so many computer products, enough to glaze the eyes of an insomniac. Don

The fish eye version does give a unique perspective on the car.

The abbreviated paper manual that came with my Jeep Cherokee was about 400 pages. The full manual, which you have to request if you want a hard copy, is over 900 pages.

Yuck, ought to condense that into items of a more critical nature. 400 pages ensures the vast majority of people won’t read it. Don
