Digital Cameras The Easy Way

Description

This book is aimed at people starting out in Digital Photograpy who are keen to learn to use the key controls on their compact digital camera, and improve their photos. Since the Digital Revolution, many people who were used to point-and-shoot cameras have suddenly found themselves with a complicated compact digital camera with a bewildering range of controls. Photography is not a hobby for most people and they do not wish to read large manuals to try and understand their camera and the digital world. Brian Miller has watched his friends struggle with their cameras and produced a solution - Digital Cameras the easy way is a pocket-sized manual that introduces you to using your camera in logical steps.
