If you enjoy photography,want to take better pictures, and know that your camera has many more options than just Auto, you'll get a lot out of this book. We'll go over everything you expect like image size and quality, file formats (such as jpg and RAW), focal length, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and metering. You'll also learn about white balance, histograms, tripods, and creative filters. Most importantly, get some composition tips that can quickly improve your images.

Digital Photography Basics is not a camera manual. There are too many different models available to be able to provide that level of individual detail. Topics covered here are meant to supplement your manual by giving greater detail on the results you can achieve by changing your settings.

Don't waste an expensive camera by shooting in Auto! Take creative control over your camera by making critical decisions about shutter speed and aperture.
