Advanced Digital Camera Techniques assumes that you have the basics of your camera and picture taking down, it assumes you know things like how to turn on the camera, how to set it for full automatic mode, how to insert the memory card, things like that. What the book does cover are things like:

 

  • Film vs. Digital
  • Resolution
  • Compression
  • Digital Zoom vs. Optical Zoom
  • Digital ISO
  • Exposure modes like Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, etc.
  • Depth of Field
  • How to use Shutter Speed Creatively

  • And much more

 

Advanced Digital Camera Techniques is a full color paperback book. It is loaded with sample shots that not only help explain what is being talked about, but to inspire as well. The book is easy to read and keeps the technical jargon to minimum though it does use camera terms like aperture, shutter, ISO, etc. But, it does a good job of explaining these things and helping you understand them so that you can get more from your camera so that you take photos you get more from.
