What Readers are Saying about Doug Klostermann's dSLR User's Guides: “This book, together with the manual that came with your camera, is all you need to start discovering all the potential of this camera.”-Max M. “It’s the first guide I've read which has taken me through all the settings in an understandable way. I now feel that I have control over the camera.”-Peter S. “I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get a quick start to using their camera. Manuals are nice, but this eBook highlights the important information and gives a quick easy to understand explanation of most all of the functions and controls.”-Ray M. “I found the (camera's) manual good for understanding how to set things up but not much on the why - this book really focuses on the why. The Custom Settings sections help to make firm decisions on how to apply settings by understanding the usage of each in addition to knowing how to set them up. I would like to thank you for saving me time - now I'm confident that my camera is well tuned!”-Benoit A. “This manual is a clearly written, concise and useful explanation of the rationale for the seemingly infinite and often confusing settings options. Used in conjunction with the (camera's) manual I feel a bit more confident in understanding how to at last proceed in getting better photographs”. Less
