Product Description
From the number one digital photography magazine, comes the most comprehensive guide to the fastest selling cameras made today.
Last season's PCPhoto Digital SLR Handbook gave camera owners a great manual with all the technical guidance they needed; now, photographers who own an advanced compact digital camera get their turn. Open up this richly illustrated volume and find in-depth instruction, with all relevant concepts, operations, and terms masterfully explained so amateur photographers can take full advantage of these amazingly capable units. In addition to a general overview of digital versus traditional photography, there's a thorough discussion of how to utilize the LCD monitor, built-in zoom lens, and every feature and function: how to edit in-camera, work the exposure modes, get the most from presets, and handle the memory card, accessories, and flash. And a full chapter covers picture taking in the field. Every page is inspirational and invaluable.
Customer Reviews & Comments
I have been shooting digital for four years. I like especially to do wildlife photography. I have a digital zoom camera (Minolta Dimage Z2). Have gotten very frustrated though because the quality of my photos just wasn't good enough (in my opinion, but when I show them around to family and at work, they ooh and aah). Anyway, was almost getting ready to chuck my camera and invest $2000 in a digital SLR setup. Then I read this book. Wow, it explained so much to me about how to better manipulate the settings on my digital zoom camera to get the best quality from my unit. It also helped my understand the limitations of my unit as compared to film and digital SLRs. So armed with this knowledge, I am not coughing up $2000 for another setup, but I am going to continue working with the equipment I have and using the settings properly to enhance my photography. I highly recommend this book as it was well-written, concise, with lots of great illustrations and recommendations. If you own a digital zoom camera or are trying to decide between purchasing a digital zoom vs a digital SLR, this book is a must read. It will help you a lot.
