Very poor manual for the C-50Z. The basic manual is poorly written and very hard to follow.
General Comments
Very poor manual. Olympus told me they would sell me a user manual for the RM-1 Remote Control. For $10 ! WoW what a deal they sell you a camera then sell you a manual to teach you how to use it. The RM-1 remote is not in the basic manual that comes with the C-50Z. The basic manual is poorly written and very hard to follow. The Li-10B battery is over priced! $70 is outrageous!
On average, people found this review somewhat helpful

I think the camera is great! I agree that the lack of a manual for the remote is ridiculous. Curious what you did about it - did you end up purchasing or figure out how to use it?

My C50 zoom came with a booklet manual AND a more comprehensive CD-Rom; The instructions for the remote are on P.57 of the CD-Rom!

DCRP Review: Olympus C-50 Zoom
After a bit of delay, I finally got the chance to use the Olympus C-50 Zoom ($599). This is Olympus' first ultra-compact metal camera, and also their first to use a proprietary lithium ion battery.

Then buy a Sony or similar and you'll get "Cameras for Dummies" for free along with so many thingies and blinks and buttons that you can't ever ask for more - BUT you'd of course have to settle with lousy picture quality instead of having very, VERY good crisp 5Mpix true color pictures. I wouldn't advice the C50 to my grandmother but for anyone with minor understanding of photographing and technology this is a great camera!
