This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D3 (Paperback)
This book is certainly more useful than the factory supplied manual. The book starts by providing an over-view of the camera's features. Then the myriad of features and functions are generally quickly, accurately, and thoroughly explained; item by item. After the functions are explained, possible applications are referenced. The book is an essential item for several reasons. This camera is extremely complicated. Many settings are only occasionally used and one will not remember how to access them. Finally, some settings need to be exited from in a very specific manner or they will affect future exposures. Lastly, the book is small and easy to carry along with you if necessary. No matter how proficient you think you are, the multitude of functions built into this camera are impossible to negotiate without a book such as this. The book does a good job of breaking down complicated procedures into basic useful elements. Hope this helps evaluate your future need for this book.
