Product Description

Fast, Fun & Easy is the title, and best describes this entertaining and educational 35 minute DVD featuring the Nikon D40 and D40x digital SLR cameras. This Nikon School® DVD makes it easier than ever to begin shooting the digital pictures you've always dreamed of. Hosted by award-winning National Geographic Traveler photographer, Bob Krist, you'll be guided step-by-step from opening the box andsetting up your D40 or D40x to image transfers, printing and storage. After a tour of essential camera controls, Bob takes you on a fun day of shooting in the situations you encounter every day. At each stop you will learn how to best compose the shot, set your camera, make the most of the D40 and D40x's 8 automatic shooting modes and even do some in-camera editing. Included on the day's shooting: Portraits Sports and Action Close-up Pictures of Your Children Landscapes This DVD is highly recommended for anyone who wants to make great digital SLR pictures Fast, Fun & Easy. And, if you haven't yet decided if digital SLR picture taking is for you, this DVD is a terrific way to explore the features and benefits of the Nikon D40 or D40x before making your purchase decision. Note: This Nikon School® DVD offers introductory instruction that would be helpful for first time purchasers of any Nikon digital SLR but it specifically addresses the features, controls and settings of the D40 and D40x.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great info for first time Digital SLR Owner, March 28, 2008

Contrary to the other reviews here, I found this to be very helpful and provide good info. However, I am a first-time Digital SLR owner, not having used an SLR since a film camera many, many years ago. I had forgotten everything taught to me in photography classes many years ago. I received this DVD in a bundle that also included the Nikon D60, which is similarly an excellent product.

I am not a pro nor a beginner photographer. I love taking shots at whatever I think will make a nice picture.

Nikon should give this away or include it with your camera. This DVD contains very basic information like: how to turn on/off your camera, how to focus, a tiny bit of advance settings, etc...

You will get better information on Understanding Digital Photography DVD. I am glad I only paid $5 for it! :-)

The DVD moves too fast for a neophyte using a Digital camera. Probably OK for someone that is more advanced.
