Book Description

Whether you’re thinking about buying or have already purchased a Canon Rebel XTi/400D, this 18-page Short Cut guide helps you think about optimizing your digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) for various kinds of photographic situations. From the basic camera setup to specific photographic situations, the most important features of the Canon XTi/400D are discussed in context.

This guide covers the basic principles to understand how the settings work (alone or in conjunction with other settings) and how to set them for your particular style of shooting. So you know how to go from just “taking a picture” to what professionals refer to as “making a picture.”

For complete coverage of DSLR cameras and photography, including using Adobe Photoshop to improve your images, try The Digital SLR Guide: Beyond Point-and-Shoot Photography by Jon Canfield.
