Résumé
Digital photography has come of age. Digital cameras are
now affordable, easy to use, and provide quality images
that rival their traditional film counterparts. Interest
among consumers and the technicallly savvy is
soaring.
Digital images are easier to share, and because you only
print the pictures you need, they're much more cost
effective and environmentally friendly. But the real
attraction is far more human in nature: With digital
cameras, you're able to free your creative spirit and take
risks that you shied away from with film. Your visual
inspiration now flows from your mind to the camera to the
LCD screen -- to then be celebrated, adjusted, or discarded
for another attempt all together.
The Digital Photography Pocket Guide gives you the
tools and the knowledge to take the kind of pictures you've
always wanted. Consider it your quick-reference photo
mentor that explains each of the camera's components, shows
you what they do, then helps you choose the right settings
to accomplish your goal. When you want to ask an expert,
"How can I get that picture?", simply pull this handy guide
out of your camera bag, backpack, or back pocket, and
you'll find the answer quickly.
The book covers everything from image resolution, flash
modes, action photography, close ups and portraits, to
memory cards, emailing images, and archiving. It's
organized by three key sections: "What Is It?" "What Does
It Do?" and "How Do I ...?"
"What Is It?" is a quick reference to all those buttons on
your camera. It's organized alphabetically and includes
many of the familiar icons you see in your owner's guide
and on the camera itself. This section helps you learn the
difference between the close up button and the infinity
mode.
"What Does It Do" digs deeper into photo technique. How do
you use those buttons and modes to take the photos you
want? This chapter tells all.
"How Do I ...?" includes 15 professional shooting
techniques and explains them in easy to understand
language. If you've always wanted to know how to shoot like
a pro, but were intimidated by photographer's jargon, this
section is for you.
The Digital Photography Pocket Guide is for anyone
who uses a digital camera. Even advanced amateurs forget
whether to "overexpose" or "underexpose" in certain
lighting conditions, and novices will appreciate the clear
explanations of the various camera functions. Regardless of
your prior experience, if you want to shoot like a pro with
your digital camera, this guide is for you.
