Focal Digital Camera Guides: Nikon D60
Just bought a Nikon D60 and looking to combine practical know-how with inspiration? This one-stop, easy-to-read guide covers all the basic functions of the camera, and everything beyond.
For the basics, turn to the quick start guide, which will get you up and running in five minutes.
For an understanding of your camera's many controls and features, check out the section called "The Camera." If all you need is a quick explanation, you'll find it. If you're looking for the Whole Story, you'll find that, too. Settings that affect how your pictures look are accompanied by full-color examples that show you exactly what you can expect. This section also covers the camera's menus, playback features, memory cards, and power sources.
The section called "Software" shows you how to get the most out of your camera's software. It covers downloading, editing your photos, RAW conversion, storing your images, managing your library, and backup strategies - to name just a few topics.
Ultimately, this book's greatest strength isn't its focus on the camera or the software; it's the detailed, easy-to-follow instruction it offers on using your camera to take truly superior photographs. Sections devoted to lenses, subject matter, and light cover these variables in depth, always presenting the most effective techniques in the context of the strengths and limitations of the Nikon D60.

". he gets you going right away and, when you have a second, he gently explains what's going on, showing you how to do this or that. And Hilz doesn't shy away from the complexities, which he calls challenges. He simply points out some of the things to watch out for in a straightforward list. That makes the inevitable failures less frustrating and more intriguing. There is not a page of the book (apart from the chapter introductions) that doesn't have at least one full-color illustration (and the rule is several) to show you what Hilz is talking about. Every section is liberally sprinkled with tips in sidebars of their own in a very thorough introduction to modern dSLR photography. - The Imaging Resource Digital Photography newsletter, http://www.imaging-resource.com
"I thought this was a great book to introduce a person to the digital SLR. I liked how the book had the Visual Tour of the camera, Quick Start and How to get good images out of the camera in 5 minutes at the beginning of the book. It was all the information you needed without having to read the manual that comes with the camera, which is always more difficult to understand." -Yumiko Wilson, YWPhotography
