David Busch’s Compact Field Guide for the Nikon D7000

Readers have told me they love my 400-plus page guidebooks written specifically for their cameras, but asked me to condense the most essential information about settings, menus, and options into a pocket-sized format they can tuck in a camera bag. Well, you can throw away your cheat sheets and command cards. My Compact Field Guide for your D7000 is an on-the-go reference you can refer to as you shoot. It’s a spiral-bound, lay-flat book with advice on using every setting and control your D7000 offers. While my “big books” contain everything you need to know, the compact versions make sure you’ll have the must-have information, when you need it.

Quick Snap Guide to Digital SLR Photography

Consider this a prequel to the book you’re holding in your hands. It might make a good gift for a spouse or friend who may be using your D7000, but who lacks even basic knowledge about digital photography, digital SLR photography, and Nikon photogra- phy. It serves as an introduction that summarizes the basic features of digital SLR cam- eras in general (not just the D7000), and what settings to use and when, such as continuous autofocus/single autofocus, aperture/shutter priority, EV settings, and so forth. The guide also includes recipes for shooting the most common kinds of pictures, with step-by-step instructions for capturing effective sports photos, portraits, landscapes, and other types of images.

Which three filters must you own—and which filters are obsolete in the era of digital photography? What’s the best type of tripod or monopod for sports, landscape, or wildlife photography? Shoulder bags, sling bags, backpacks, and travel cases: which make the most sense to you? Of all the different gadgets for close-up photography, which are the best? Do I need a special memory card for my camera? What does a radio trigger do? You’ll find the answers to all these questions in my guidebook for choosing and using the best photo gear and accessories.
