Mastering the Nikon D300

"Mastering the Nikon D300" by Nikonian Darrell Young provides a wealth of information and professional insights for owners of this powerful new camera. Each chapter explores the features and capabilities of the D300 in detail, surpassing basic user manuals by providing step-by-step menu setting adjustments coupled with illustrations and logical explanations for each option. Darrell Young's writing style allows the reader to follow directions in a friendly and informative manner, as if a friend dropped in to share his experienced knowledge without 'talking down' to you, explaining the how and the why. The learning experience for D300 beginners (and refresher information for professionals) goes beyond the camera itself. When camera features and options expand to additional Nikon equipment (such as with the use of optional Speedlights) Darrell adds the necessary information.Young's frequent references to user manuals provided by Nikon (complete with specific page references) allow the reader to easily navigate past the 'confusion factor' that often comes with new equipment. "Mastering the Nikon D300" is the inaugural title kicking off the Nikonians Press imprint - the exciting, new joint venture between Nikonians and Rocky Nook.
