My Canon owner's manual must have been written by complete digital-camera geeks who have drunk so many pixels, they can't even imagine how a beginner sees this little silver box, let alone explain the basic steps to take a picture with this little contraption. Thankfully, Michael Guncheon's Canon PowerShot Digital Field Guide does explain what the functions and settings do. Although there is a section on Getting the Most Out of Your PowerShot Camera, which helps me think more strategically, I would benefit from even more basic 1-2-3-type-This-Is-What-You-Do-Each-Time instruction.
Guncheon also includes The Fundamentals of Photography, which I guess is good for beginner photographers, but I'm an experienced photographer who is a beginner with all things digital, and I would have preferred that 1-2-3 thought-process instruction I mentioned above. If you're looking for clear explanations and a well-rounded, helpful digital photography guide though, I can recommend this one.
One added bonus is Guncheon's specific photography tips, such as for pets and people, sunrises and sunsets. His color photos, used as examples in the book, are stunning. Another bonus is the Downloading, Editing, and Outputting section, which I haven't gotten to yet, but thought I'd mention, because it looks very helpful. + See Full Customer Review |  |
