Product Description
Today's digital cameras are affordable and provide quality images that rival their traditional film counterparts. Because digital images are easier to share, and because you only have to print the pictures you need, this new medium is both cost effective and environmentally friendly. Best of all, it's fun! With a digital camera, you can set free your creative spirit and take risks you never would with a film camera. The only obstacle is learning how to unlock all or this power and pleasure packed into these pocket-sized picture takers. Digital Photography Pocket Guide, 2nd Edition expands on the basic photography techniques introduced in the bestselling first edition to help you take the kind of pictures you've always wanted to--and now in full color! This book is the photo mentor you've always wanted: it explains each of the camera's components, shows you what they do, and then helps you choose the right settings. When you ask, "How can I get that picture?", simply pull this small guide out of your camera bag, backpack, or back pocket and find the answer quickly. This fully illustrated book covers everything from image resolution, shooting sports action, close ups and night shots, to memory cards, transferring images, archiving, making QuickTime movies, and much more. Topics in the guide's three main sections on "Digital Camera Components", "Standard Camera Functions", and "How Do I?" are labeled A to Z for quick reference. Or if you prefer, use the comprehensive index or table of contents to find the information you need. There's even an entire section of easy to read reference tables for quick look up of white balance settings, exposure compensation, camera mode explanations, and much more.

 Good read for beginnners February 16, 2007
Silventar (Simi Valley, CA (USA))
This is a good read if you are just beginning photography. It's small size makes it a good field reference tool for beginning photographers and provides a lot of basic information, but does not really go into detail.
More advanced photographers will not find anything new in this book; it truly is for beginners.

Not worth the money. This puny book doesn't go in depth in any of the subjects regarding photography. Perhaps a good reference guide for beginners/novices, but not helpful for advanced photographs. Not worth the hefty $10 price tag, I'm sure you can find something to more wisely spend your money.

I found the manual a bit too generic to really serve my need. I am just getting into photography and picked up a couple of books for help. This one had/has so so reviews and it was cheap enough. It really didn't shed any light to any of the issues I was looking for. Check out "Understanding Exposure" - I really found that to be an eye opening book that suited my needs to a tee.
