This robust guide not only shows you how to adjust white balance, autofocus, exposure, and choose lenses, it also teaches you when and why you should adjust each of these key settings. Additionally, the Nikon D60 Digital Field Guide goes beyond camera settings to offer you a refresher guide to the principles of digital photography, covering the essentials of lighting, composition, and exposure. Filled with amazing examples of actual Nikon D60 photography6, this book also presents a variety of tips and tricks to capturing portraits, candids, sports, travel, macro photography, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nikon D60 Digital Field Guide, July 17, 2008
By Heather "hkloveslife" (PA, United States) - See all my reviews
I received the guide several weeks ago and have been using it ever since. I really like the fact that it is so well put together and easy to use. I am a novice to dSLR cameras having used a point and shoot forever. This guide has helped me so much I had to reccomend it to beginners like me, but also from my review of it I will be using it a long time to come. The information for using all the settings on the camera and learning the manual setting has been wonderful. I was really filled with anxiety at the prospect of using anything but auto. I jumped right in with fireworks and haven't looked back! I couldn't beleive fireworks was listed in the index and I took some great shots. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can and this is a great tool for anyone. The color examples on different shots really help you see the possibilities. Everything you need to know is in this guide, from lighting, to lenses. I don't even use the manual that came with my camera. The guide fits right into my case and is getting a workout. My camera really feels like a part of me now thanks to this guidebook instead of some foreign object. Everthing is becoming second nature and I couldn't be happier! HK

5.0 out of 5 stars A good reference for owners of the Nikon D60, July 3, 2008
I've had this book for several days and have found it to be extremely useful for owners of the Nikon D60. It is much better than the manual that came with the camera and is written in a manner that non-technical people can easily understand. Any jargon is clearly explained and advice is plentiful in the book.

The book is well organised and it was easy to find the information I needed. The book certainly did a much better job than the manual of explaining the various camera menus and functions. I especially appreciated the practical advice, tips, examples and typical camera settings in the practice sections of the book. I also liked the description of Nikon's lens codes in the chapter on lenses, something that had baffled me for some time.

In short, readers of this book will learn how to better use their D60 and master its many functions in a short time. It's a handy reference that I expect to go back to now and then, even after I've finished reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction and reference tool!, August 11, 2008
By Lance Grucela (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The D60 field guide is an absolute must have for anyone who has a D60 and is new to DSLR photography. If you are not new to DSLR, I would still recommend getting yourself a copy anyway as it serves as an excellent reference tool.

I anxiously awaited the release of this guide after I got a D60 in May. While I waited for its release I used various resources on the internet to familiarize myself with the camera and learn important basics for DSLR photography. Although I was fairly successful on my own, this book would have saved me hours of researching and frustration (not to mention an entire set of photos from the zoo that came out terribly grainy).

Overall, the book does a wonderful job introducing the user to the features and functions of the D60. Also, it is intuitively organized and presents information in a way that makes sense (unlike the user's manual which I find equally as useful as the spanish version that came with the camera too).

For the novice, a first read through will answer a great deal of the seemingly infinite amount of questions that one may have starting out with DSLR and the D60. For the intermediate to experienced user, the book will prove to be a handy reference guide for specific types of photography.

I keep the book in my backpack wherever I go to take shots and I find that most of the time there are a few pages specifically dedicated to explaining tips and techniques on how to approach and shoot the exact type of photos that I am trying to take. The full color examples with a brief discussion of how to achieve the same are extremely helpful as a starting point for a specific type of shot.
