Pentax manuals are usually quite vague and do not describe functions in detail.

I do agree. Pentax manuals usually refer to all functionalities and sometimes have some explanations that are not obvious. No in depth information. NOTE - I know nothing about Canon, Nikon, Sony manuals. They might be better or not.

I can give you an example. I looked in an a manual for an early film Pentax camera with program auto functionality. In the manual there was tables and graphs describing the program functionality, showing what happened for the different settings. Very useful. Nothing like that can be found in a modern manual.

And it is like this with EVF. It absolutely do not tell what the EVF shows in the manuals. People says that you can see the actual result if you have an EVF. OK? Are you sure?
