I have a camera. As a matter of fact, I have many cameras. My first expensive camera was a purchase I made in Australia…Sony NEX7. The advance from the Sony sales rep was to learn about photography and your camera, by taking pictures. So I did…in Australia, Fiji, South America, Europe…but I still did not learn as much as I did with this Kindle download. It is sad that I did not take full advantage of all the bells and whistles of that beautiful camera. I still have it but now I have my sites on another camera. This time I will be prepared. ... show more

    • Muy buena lectura para principiantes: orden de capítulos algo extraña
Por ser bilingüe, trato de leer información en ambos idiomas, pero alguna información en español no esta tan actualizada. Este libro es muy buena lectura para principiantes, y hasta para algunos fotógrafos veteranos. Lo único que me sorprendió es que editaron el capítulo sobre enfoque después de el de exposición: enfocar, manual o automáticamente debe ser lo primero. Recordemos que una foto fuera de foco, sea digital o en película fotográfica es casi imposible de corregir, mientras que una foto sobre expuesta o sub expuesta puede corregirse hasta cierto grado en el proceso de producción posterior. De todos modos, le doy 4 estrellas. ... show more

    • Truly for Beginners
This book is invaluable for a person just starting out. It explains things i.e. camera jargon, camera settings etc., in an easy to understand way. Highly recommend.

    • Excellent Book for DSLR Settings to use with Nice full color Picture examples
This book has excellent color pictures with the applicable DSLR settings for various backgrounds. I have a Nikon, but examples are applicable for most DSLR cameras, Canon and Nikon models in particular. You may find some settings not available for your camera if you don't have a lens that supports a setting (such as aperture f/1.8 if your lens will only go to f/3.5, but you can work around with faster shutter speed, exposure, etc.) Very nice addition for camera library. ... show more

    • Great Book for Understanding Digital Cameras Better!
I've done film photography since the 1970s and know a lot about the photographic principles and processes. In the digital era, I got lazy and had never really learned how to translate my pre-digital photo knowledge into setting up and using digital cameras effectively. I mostly stuck to Auto, I'm sad to say. Camera manuals are pathetic, so what I really wanted was to learn exactly how digital cameras do what they do, and learn to use my digital cameras' settings more creatively than you can do on automatic. As one example, Gatcum explains beautifully the differences between all the possible settings such as Auto vs. Program, and what the benefits and limitations are for each one. This is one example of a topic the limited and badly translated camera manuals are silent on. This book assumes limited photographic knowledge so it would be fine for photo newbies, but it's actually extremely well laid out with brief but useful explanations and really great illustrative photos that anyone could learn and benefit from. I got a lot of good ideas from the various subjects the book. Another good point is that the topics and descriptions are clear, precise, but not too wordy. Just enough to illustrate the subject well both in description and with visuals. I have recently bought several similar books and this one is my favorite and I learned what I wanted to learn. Very useful for those in my situation as well as for total beginners, and highly recommended. ... show more

I bought this as a NEW book and it's clearly used. I dont have a problem with used book, but I expect to be charged the correct price according to the product. Now for the context of the books material, this book has all the basic topics and from a quick read through, I can see it has what is needed to get started in photography. Much better then a lot of other "getting started" book. ... show more
