Book Description

March 7, 2008
The Nikon D300 comes with many controls and settings that allow you to capture the perfect exposure. Remembering where they are and exactly how they work together is a difficult, if not impossible task.


You can carry the user manual in your bag, but it s over one hundred pages long. Finding the answer to your question can be a frustrating experience.


The inBrief camera reference card is a laminated, foldable guide that answers most camera operation questions quickly and easily. The information is arranged logically so you can find the answer to you question in the shortest time possible.


Each inBrief card shows an annotated line drawing of the camera and an index to the information on the other panels. If you have a question about white balance, simply look at the purple panel. Answers to custom settings are always on the green panel.


The inBrief card has laminated hinges so the card lies flat. When folded, the dimensions are 5.5 inches by 4.25 inches. It fits neatly in the outside pocket of your camera bag for instant access.


Each card is subdivided into eight subjects across twelve color-coded panels. An overview of the information on each panel is listed below.


Teal: Annotated line drawing and general index
Blue: Viewfinder, Control panel, and Monitor displays
Red: Camera functions by exposure mode and flash information
Lime: Focus, Drive Modes, and Self-Timer
Yellow: Exposure, Metering, Bracketing
Purple: White Balance, ISO, Image Size / Quality
Orange: Displaying Images, Resetting the camera, Live View
Green: Custom Settings
 


Each card is professionally printed on 10 point card stock and laminated on each side for long wear and protection from the elements. Once you have an inBrief, you can leave your manual at home.

Great Cheat Sheet April 26, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
This card (actually multi-paged) is a great cheet sheet that covers deep menu items that you always forget where they are. Not a Newbe summary but a guide to all menues. I take it everywhere. Faster than paging through the menus.

This little fold out is not a bad item to have in your camera case for new D300 camera owners. I can't say I've ever used mine on a shoot, but it's there just in case. Good quality construction, color-coded subject organization, it should last fairly well through normal lite usage. If you need to refer to this all the time, you should really take the time to learn your camera. I highly recommend David Busch's Nikon D300 Guide to Digital SLR Photography for that purpose.

Part of the camera bag June 10, 2008
By K. Izzi
The best twelve-Dollar investment in D300 accessories, stows nicely in the camera bag. The laminated folding cards are very sturdy and will hold together for years on end. If they put spiral binding it may scratch the expensive contents of the camera bag. This is a lovely, color coded guide or cheat sheet that will keep you alive when you are in the field, away from the 450+ pages manual that is not very portable, yet indispensable for such a vastly complex camera. I'm so happy with this quick reference. Maybe a tad larger font would have been in order, but I won't chuck it away just because of that.

I felt the reference card was needed as a Brief way to understand the Camera better. Also a faster way to find basic and specific things about the cameras operation.
