Reviews
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!
