    Synopsis

    As an introductory level digital SLR, the Nikon D60 offers one-button simplicity using the Auto function or countless options using the more complex manual controls. Nikon D60 Digital Field Guide is filled with everything you need to know to capture amazing photographs using your Nikon 60. Starting with a Quick Tour, which will help you use your Nikon D60 straight out of the box, this book will help you graduate from using the Auto function in every situation to using the more complex manual controls with confidence.

    This full-color portable guide walks you through the essential controls, features, and functions of the Nikon D60 digital SLR using step-by-step instructions and full-color images of each menu screen. This robust guide not only shows you how to adjust white balance, autofocus, exposure, and choose lenses, it also teaches you when and why you should adjust each of these key settings. Additionally, the Nikon D60 Digital Field Guide goes beyond camera settings to offer you a refresher guide to the principles of digital photography, covering the essentials of lighting, composition, and exposure. Filled with amazing examples of actual Nikon D60 photography6, this book also presents a variety of tips and tricks to capturing portraits, candids, sports, travel, macro photography, and much more.

    NIKON D60 HANDBOOKby SEMPERFI

    June 01, 2009: THE BOOK WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. THE MANNER IN WHICH THE INFORMATION IS DELIVERED WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT. BEGINNING WITH THE CAMERA'S BASICS EXPANDING TO THE MORE COMPLEX OR INTRICATE SETTINGS OR OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN A MANNER THAT IS PERFECT FOR NON-PROFESSIONS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOOK TO ANY OWNER OF THIS PARTICULAR NIKON. I KEEP THIS BOOK WITH ME WHENEVER I GO OUT TO SHOOT SOME PHOTO'S.

    Should come with the Cameraby Anonymous

    March 23, 2009: Grand reference for anyone who owns this camera. I really appreciate having a manual that is specific to the model I own. I keep it close because I have yet to explore everything that a D-60 can do. This book tells me "how to" and then cues me in to things I was not aware it could do. It is written in a clear and easy to follow manner.

    Digital photography is funland for the imagination. This is the guidebook to get you there.
