Mastering the Nikon D5000

This book is a comprehensive guide for the owners of this newest, budget-friendly generation of Nikon DSLR cameras. The smaller, more lightweight Nikon D5000 mixes generous portions of user-controlled manual camera features while allowing fully automatic point and-shoot simplicity.

Darrell's approach in teaching the reader to master this camera avoids the purely instructional technique, favoring a more friendly and advisory tone. He blends his decades of Nikon camera experience with an intuitive understanding of the readers' most likely questions regarding specific camera functions and features. Rather than just list all options for the myriad of camera settings and adjustments, he explains the background behind each setting and shares his personal recommendations.

Many owners of the D5000 may be just entering the world of DSLRs, so Darrell takes the time to guide these new owners through the basics, while giving more experienced photographers the option of a refresher course.

Included is an entire new chapter on the exciting new D-Movie function that can record high-quality HD movie clips at an amazing 24 frames-per-second.
