DPReview camera manual of the year

I read them thoroughly although it was much easier when I got a litle book; my favourite bed time reading. However much you digest the G5 manual I don't believe it brings you any closer to how to take stills with the Ex Tele Conv function. As far as I can see there are only about half a dozen of us in the world who understand how it works and none of us got that from the manual

While I'm here why do I get a release icon popping up all the time, I can't find it in the manual, what does it mean?
