Element 2

From my experience the manual is all about the EOS software. In parts it says, "the ION does this" or the "Element 2 does that that ". But they are few and far between. IE You really need all the manual.

I'm totally self-taught and the easiest way I found out what I needed was to have a downloaded version on a nearby laptop and use search feature to locate specific items. The videos are good, but nearly all assume some previous knowledge.  

I also downloaded the EOS software and ran it on my pc at home which allows me a lot of time on the software in the comfort of home.

All the very best.
