He Used Claude Code to Rewrite the Canon R5 II Manual Into a Personal Travel Photography Guide
vkorost · reddit · 2026-11-12
A photographer used Claude Code to turn Canon's R5 Mark II manual, his own photos, lens list and deep research into a personalized travel photography manual, organized by shooting situation instead of menus — free on GitHub with the full method and a list of everything Claude got wrong. Key lessons: the model confidently misdescribes physical hardware, research is equally confident when wrong, and the most useful step was asking Claude what the manual doesn't answer. He was permanently banned from r/canon for sharing it.
