Nikon D600 - From Snapshots to Great Shots

Nikon D600 Experience is an e book user's guide that goes beyond the manual to help you learn the features, settings, and controls of this sophisticated and highly customizable camera.  Most importantly, it also explains when and why to use the camera's basic and advanced features, settings, and controls in your photography.

Written in the clear, concise, and comprehensive manner of all Full Stop guides, Nikon D600 Experience will help you learn to use your D600 quickly and competently, to consistently create the types of images you want to capture. As one reader has said about Full Stop guides:

"I don't know how I could fully take advantage of all the features the camera has to offer without this publication!  It's well-organized, easy to understand, and succinct enough to keep your attention while still containing a wealth of information to get the most out of your camera."

This guide is designed for intermediate and enthusiast photographers who wish to take fuller advantage of the capabilities of their camera and go beyond Auto and Program modes and shoot competently in A, S, and M shooting modes; take full advantage of the sophisticated 39 point autofocus system; and learn how, when, and why to use and customize the various controls, buttons, and features of the D600.

For experienced photographers coming to the D600 from previous models, this guide explains the new and advanced features in order to quickly get you up and running and taking advantage of these capabilities, including the sophisticated 39 Point Autofocus System and its AF Modes, AF Area Modes, and Custom Settings.  Plus it explains the camera controls, the in-camera HDR, Multiple Exposure, and Time-Lapse Shooting features, introduces the video capabilities, and guides you through all the Menus and Custom Settings of the D600 in order to help you best set up the camera and its controls for your specific shooting needs. 

Nikon D600 Experience covers basic dSLR camera functions and exposure concepts for those learning digital SLR photography, and explains more advanced camera controls and operation, such as taking control of the powerful autofocus system for sharp focus of still or moving subjects, using the various metering modes and exposure compensation for correct exposure of every image, and taking advantage of other features of the D600.
