Overview
Nikon's new D3100 is a perfect entry-level DSLR. This book is
for anyone who upgrades from their point-and-shoot, or for anyone
who wants to jump into photography with the control and
capabilities of a DSLR but without the high price. There's the
manual, of course, as well as competing books, and while they all
explain, often in 400+ pages, what the camera can do, none of them
shows exactly how to use the camera to create great images!
This book has one goal: to teach D3100 owners how to make great
shots using their Nikon camera. It teaches how to use the D3100 to
create the type of photos that inspired users to buy the camera in
the first place. Everything in the book is in service of creating a
great image. Starting with the top ten things needed to know about
the camera, photographer Jeff Revell then carefully guides readers
through the modes of the camera. Users get practical advice from a
pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and even
end-of-chapter assignments.
