This page contains a selection of camera manuals, brochures and technical information for many of the currently used film and digital cameras. 
While much of today's production is being done with digital cameras, I have chosen to leave many film cameras on this page because film is still being used for
production and I want you to have access to film camera information if you should need it.  I have also included information  on current Eastman Kodak film stocks.

Most of the files provided here are in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format.  They can be viewed on any Windows or Mac computer by using the Acrobat Reader software. 
For best viewing results, use Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or higher. Many of these files will not open in an earlier version of the software.

If you do not already have Acrobat Reader software, you may download it for free from the Adobe
web site at http://www.adobe.com or by clicking on the icon below.

Follow the directions on your screen and you are ready to view these files.
