There are only 2 Index pages. No X, Y and Z, if those are the ones you are looking for.

Compare with the PDF version available from website and check, if defective, should be able to bring back or to nikon for exchange.

I believe the len manual is a generic term used for every glass you mount on the DSLR body, it does not imply specifically to the kit glass (this is coming from one who never reads manual, so don't flame me).

As for the len manual, IIRC, D70 also don't have any 18-70DX manual, and I never read any of those also (don't flame me )

If yes, you can download from below::

I just print it out and paste on the manual last time.

Can anyone D50 users able to set to spot metering? Although the manual says you can do by going through the menu, it's not able to go further.

You need to expand the menu into detailed menu, only then will you see the metering option for D50.

Thats the answer! Haha. Was wondering why too when I first got my D50. I read the manual a few times before I actually got it. At least my manual was complete.

Well, I didn't, I just kept fiddling with it until I by chance came by the detailed menu option and found out I didn't expand it.

Oh well, I learn something new everyday.
