Any idea if the Fn1/Fn2 or custom modes can be used to set for HDR bracketing on the G3?

Has anyone managed to find a G3 manual online? There's nothing on this page yet.

I understand the Fn1 and Fn2 buttons can be customized - but to what?

On my G2, I use the Single-shot/Multi-shot/Bracketing/Timer and Manual/Auto-focus controls frequently... and of course these have gone from the G3.

So I want to know if I can configure the quick function buttons to get me directly to these options, rather than having to page through menus.

i.e. what are the '17 other functions' that can be tied to these buttons?

Or - on the other hand - perhaps I should be using the Custom settings on the program dial to set the camera up for HDR brackets shots... i.e. Manual focus + Aperture priority + AEB. Does anyone know if C1 can be set to something like this?

Turns out you can configure one of the buttons to AEB - but it takes you to the configure AEB screen - where you can choose how many shots to take in AEB. It doesn't let you engage AEB - which would need to be a drive-mode selection (although the 'down button' on the D-pad already does this).

I've also discovered that custom-settings (C1 / C2) also don't store drive mode - so don't include AEB.

Lame.
