Understanding exactly how a digital SLR (dSLR) works can help you use its exciting capabilities to their fullest potential. Whether you aim to become a serious photo hobbyist, are interested in turning pro, or want to take advantage of the improved control that dSLRs give you over your photography, this fun and friendly reference will show you how to maximize everything a dSLR has to offer so that you can improve your photography skills, increase your picture-taking and image-editing knowledge, and ultimately, take better photos. Written with just the right balance of technology and techniques in mind, this guide provides you with the know-how on everything from getting acquainted with the basic key features of the technology (lenses, sensors and image processors, and exposure and focusing systems) to the nuances of various dSLR techniques (setting up speedy continuous-shooting burst modes to capture fast action, applying selective and sharp focus, and shooting under the lowest levels of light). Other topics explored in this title include: composing your shots with an accurate viewfinder; deciding how many pixels your camera needs; cleaning the sensor yourself; choosing between a tripod or monopod; adjusting exposure and improving shutter speed; creating time-lapse sequences; and, fixing murky or contrasting photos. With so much subject area covered, "Digital SLR Cameras & Photography For Dummies, 2nd Edition" not only introduces you to the fundamentals of great picture-taking with a dSLR, but goes beyond the basics. Some of the more advanced topics discussed include working with the various formats of digital photos, minimizing shutter lag and first-shot delays, and fixing up your pictures with various image-editing programs. This is just the book you need to progress from getting started with a dSLR to actually improving your dSLR photography.

I really enjoyed this book. It explains DSLR and photography in a way that any one can understand it. Other books tend to go "over your head" and most of the time you don't understand a word they are saying. Terms and technical aspects is explained in ordinary language. As far as possible, examples are given and pictures is used to explain terms/technical aspects better. This is definitely a book for any beginner photographer.

Too complex for me
Book was not what I expected. I believe that I simply ordered the wrong title. Since it was too complex for my knowledge, I gave it to my son & grandson as they have more experience in digital photography. For me, I need to find a beginner's basic learning book about digital photography as well as finding a book showing in very simple terms how to edit the photos once I have downloaded them to my computer. A friend has recommended Picasa software, but I haven't had much time to work with it yet.
