A no-hassle, plain-English guide for seniors getting started with digital photography
Following in the footsteps of our hugely successful Computers For Seniors For Dummies (978-0-470-24055-7), this friendly guide is one of the only books written specifically for digital photographers 55 and older–the fastest growing segment of the market. Featuring large print, lots of full-color example photographs, and an informal, accessible style, it covers everything from choosing a camera model and taking great pictures to editing photos with a computer and sharing them with family and friends. It demystifies digital camera jargon, explains how to adjust a zoom and use a flash, and demonstrates how to capture action, close-ups, landscapes, night scenes, and more.
