Unlike a texty manual, this handy guide's main focus is on taking great pictures with the new 60D
Goes beyond a tour of the camera's capabilities to teach you how to take great photos with the Canon EOS 60D!
Beautiful images, clear design, friendly and knowledgeable voice.
Not a rehash of the confusing, textbook-style camera manual (like so much of the competition)
The successor to Canon's popular EOS 50D DSLR, the Canon 60D is a powerful camera intended for advanced amateurs to semi-professionals who want to jump into photography with the control and capabilities of a DSLR-- but without the high price. There's the manual, of course, as well as competing books, and while they all explain, often in 400+ pages, what the camera can do, none of them shows exactly how to use the camera to create great images! This book has one goal: to teach Canon EOS 60D owners how to make great shots using their camera. Starting with the top ten things you need to know about the 60D--charging your battery, setting your ISO, reviewing your photos, and more--professional photographer Nicole S. Young then carefully guides you through the modes of the camera, offering practical advice on choosing your settings, expert shooting tips, and end-of-chapter 'challenges' to get you up and running with your 60D. The 60D is slated for availability in late September 2010. Features include:
18.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light.
Improved EOS HD Video mode with manual exposure control, expanded recording, Movie Crop recording in 640x480, and more.
3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor.
96% viewfinder coverage allowing users to see more of an image in the viewfinder -and much more!
