How To Do Everything With Your Digital Camera

Book Review byReviewed by Louise Dawson, LWMug

Rejoice all you camera lovers. Here is a book about cameras. Just cameras. You don't need Photoshop. Just a camera!

Topics covered include

• How to calculate scanned image size
• USB glitches
• Keep the horizon straight
• The past, present and future of digital photography. Composition essentials
• Understanding file extensions
• Mastering flash modes
• Master exposure controls

Some chapters concern the camera alone: master exposure controls, composition essential, keeping the horizon straight, master flash modes. Study the past, present and future of photography.

Other chapters help you make the connection between your camera and your computer. How do you calculate scanned image size? What to do about those USB glitches. File extensions are explained along with retouching, printing, scanning and sharing your photos.

Dave Johnson is the author of many technolgy how To books. His style is easy to follow and the book is loaded with helpful illustrations.
I give this book FIVE stars: outstanding, the best.
