Original manual archive

24 operating-instruction PDFs covering 33 models in this reference. All 25 digital FD/CD cameras are covered, with additional analogue and MaviCap manuals. Existing download addresses are unchanged.

Operating instructions are not service manuals. Level 1–3 service manuals are not published in this archive.

Still looking for original instructions: MVC-2000, MVC-2010 and MVC-7000. No handbook-backed specifications are published for these three models yet. An unavailable scan is not evidence that a manual never existed.
