Chapter 1: Exploring the Nikon D3200

The Nikon D3200 is an amazing piece of machinery. It has features and specifications that surpass the top-end professional camera models released just a few years ago. Whether this is your first dSLR or you have been shooting with one for a while, being comfortable with the location and functions of all the controls on the Nikon D3200 enables you to capture any scene as it happens.

This chapter covers all of the buttons, levers, switches, and controls on the outside of the camera. It also explains the information displayed when you look though the viewfinder, as well as that displayed on the rear LCD screen when the Info (info2.eps) or Information Edit (infoedit2.eps) buttons are pressed. This chapter also covers the Guide mode (guidemode.eps) feature that is designed to be a guide to taking photos and the camera’s functionality.
