Product Description
Now that even your mother owns a digital camera, there's finally a book that reflects how everyone uses them--on the go, at parties, and to document events, not sitting at home with a hefty reference at their side. In this travel-sized volume, you'll be able to access the info you want when you want it--while you're taking pictures. After providing an introduction to digital cameras and an overview of how to use them, authors Cynthia Baron and Daniel Peck get to the heart of the volume: the situations in which you're likely to use a digital camera and the issues you need to be aware of. In chapters on outdoor photography, event photography, and portraits and still-lives, you'll find easy-to-follow instructions on getting the best shots with the least amount of fuss. At the end of the day, you'll find yourself returning to the volume to find out what's next: downloading, printing, using Photoshop to manipulate images, creating slide shows, archiving images, and more.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I wish it was possible to give this book 10 stars! After reading and being mainly confused by books written mainly for professional photographers - even the "Dummies" digital books go into too much technical stuff - this book is a breath of fresh air. It is so helpful and written in such understandable terms that it should be packaged with every digital camera. The authors really know how to instruct a person in taking great pictures even if they have never picked up a digital camera before. When explaining how to take a picture in each situation, the icons you need to use are clearly illustrated in the margins. The photos show examples of a picture taken poorly and then with the correct settings - this is extremely helpful. The section on how to use a flash is worth the price of the book alone. Next to my cameras themselves, this book is the most important part of my digital equipment.
