Nikon D3200 For Dummies

Sembra un libro eccellente per un dilettante come me.

Much, much better than the materials that came with the camera. If you have spent the money to get this camera, spend the extra to get this book!The author explains clearly not just how to do something, buy WHY you would do it. It is maybe a bit too basic and condescending at times, but then that is what the Dummies books are for, people who are totally clueless about a subject. But it is easy to skip over the stuff you already know and get to the meat. In just a day, I had found new things about how my camera works plus found easier ways to do things. And as I said before, I learned why/when to use a feature that I knew existed but didn't think I needed to use.

I am a “wanna-be” photographer. When I finally bought my first DSLR camera, the Nikon D3200, I was completely overwhelmed. I did not spend that kind of money on a camera so I could shoot in automatic mode. So I bought the “Nikon D3200 for Dummies” by Julie Adair King.The book is a very detailed, comprehensive guide on the camera, written in easy to understand language. The first chapter explains every aspect of your cameras many setting and controls, what they are for and how to use them. There are many graphics used for reference. The second chapter explains which settings to use in different situations.The book also devotes a significant section to shooting movies with the camera, which I pretty much skipped since I don’t really do much of that.The book does have a chapter on shooting in automatic, if that is what you prefer to do. It explains the most basic information, such as sharing and printing photos, viewing and editing and using memory cards. It also goes into great detail about manipulating color and focus, and how to creatively use exposure.In typical “dummies” fashion, the book also gives warnings, quick tips and technical info, which are highlighted by the usual “dummies” icons. (If you have ever read a dummies book, you know what I am referring to.)Ms. King is a seasoned professional photographer. She uses her own beautiful photos, as well as the photos of others, to provide easy to grasp examples of the different photography techniques and the results from using various settings.At the end of every chapter there are “assignments” to help you master the techniques from the chapter. Hands on is the best way to learn photography, after all.If you truly want to master your Nikon D3200, I totally recommend this book!

I love these books for "DUMMIES" and this one is no exception. I am now a pensioner but I do have a technical back ground, having spent many years building and repairing digital gaming machines. I'm not a new comer to photography either. But having just brought my first DSLR camera and struggling for a few days with the camera manual I thought it wise to buy an easy to read introduction to my camera.This book is a very easy to read and comprehend guide to the Nikon 3200 DSLR camera, it's beautifully illustrated and logically laid out. The author Julie King makes the point very early on in the book that the user can use the camera in a point and shoot mode right from the off and get into the more technical and artistic aspects of the camera later on as their knowledge and experience grows. The book is much more than just a reference manual, I have started at page 1 and I'm reading through the whole book so that I don't miss a single detail of my camera no matter how small. The book is packed with interesting information presented by someone who clearly has a great in-depth knowledge of cameras and photography.This is a great book in the " for DUMMIES" series, and don't be put off buy the title. It's an interesting, easy to read, comprehensive guide to the Nikon D3200. A great guide for experienced photographers and for novices, both young and old. Remember you're never too old to learn a new subject no matter how technical it is and that's the purpose of books like this one.

Well, I have had this camera for close to 10 years. There was stuff that slipped my mind, by reading this I learned a whole new set of information to make my photography absolutely perfection.
