Like most software manuals, what Nikon provides with Capture NX2 is, at best, unfathomable2009-02-23 Rating 4. Sure, the manual contains a lot of information, but it's just that. . information. On the other hand, the book explains exactly how to get things done. One example is regarding Metadata. The manual (at least to me) made no sense whatsoever.
