I have the same camera as you, only one version earlier (the s1) and I read the manual as well. Sadly, I still haven't figured out all of the advanced settings yet.

w00t, ya i finally figured out most of the basic stuff. I'll take a while to get used to how the camera works and make sure i can take consistently take good shots until i move on into the more advanced stuff.
