Chris,

For those of us with extra firewall and pop-up protection, could you please set the sticky as a direct PDF file? Thanks

Unforutnatly, Canon's server has authentication stuff to prevent direct linking.

Chris Hurd · September 16th, 2006, 09:23 PM

Nobody can host it anywhere else. That document is Canon's intellectual property which is protected by strict copyright law. If someone is foolish enough to attempt to re-distribute it on another server, they're just asking for litigation. I will not allow such links to be posted here anyway.

A couple of mouse clicks and a temporary override of firewalls, etc. will get you the download direct from Canon USA.

I have tried on many different computers and cannot get this darn manual!!! Canon really needs to work on their cruddy website.

Colin Gould · September 20th, 2006, 11:14 AM

You need to enable popups, to download it.

Check Amazon.. nope, manual isn't submitted yet.

Luis A. Diaz · February 21st, 2007, 05:22 PM

To all:
Canon has released for download the Instruction Manual for the HV-20
available at the support site: http:///www.usa.canon.com/consumer/c...&modelid=14869

I have not seen this posted anywhere, but for those who are interested I just got a copy in pdf.

Thanks
Luis

Just ordered mine. I went with the Hoya filter package. But I also need a good protective filter because I'll be shooting in a lot of nasty conditions. Any recommendations? Also, is there a waterproof housing for it yet?

Chris Hurd · February 22nd, 2007, 11:17 AM

Thanks a bunch for this link, Luis... I'm merging your post with our "sticky" thread for the manuals.

Mike Horrigan · February 22nd, 2007, 11:33 AM

Awesome! Thanks for this...

Should help to fill in some of the gap/wait.

Thanks Chris, with so many of us being anxiously waiting for the HV-20, I thought the manual will keep us busy until April. I for one, could not get an answer as to where the sensor for the remote was located until I read the manual as opposed to the HV-10.

I'm sure lot of questions will start streaming down now.

Mike Horrigan · February 22nd, 2007, 02:10 PM

If the remote came with a FOCUS option this thing would have been perfect! (Since there is no focus ring.)

Oh well, it's still a great little camera. I can't wait to get it!

Dave Blackhurst · February 22nd, 2007, 03:50 PM

Hi Chris and all -

I too couldn't get the download link to work and I'm a geek... but since that is what it is, I resolved the link back to the actual file on the server...

http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/softw...V20_manual.pdf

I don't know how to turn the above link active (little help Chris?), but you can cut and paste and bypass all the popups and weirdness (I kept getting a message that the site wanted to close the window... yes or no... neither option got me anywhere!

I'm a Sony guy, but the footage I've seen from the HV10 has me interested - got to see what the 20 has to offer - now to find time to read the HC7 and HV20 manuals and figure out to buy one, both or what?!

DB>)

PS - Chris - seems like you're getting so much traffic the servers are acting up a bit - getting errors out here and pages won't display or are really delayed - time to add an extra hamster or two? Go for one of those quadcore gerbils maybe?

Dave Blackhurst · February 22nd, 2007, 03:51 PM

Hi Chris and all -

***** sorry about the multiple postings - the server hiccups and reports the page can't display, but apparently the upoad went through the first time...

and I see that the link automatically goes live when I post, now that's nifty! *****

I had the same problem. Turned off the pop-up blocker on my browser and the original link worked like a charm.
