Nikon has updated their popular entry-level DSLR camera, the D3200. From low light to fast action, the D3200 delivers amazing image quality and stunning HD (1080p) video.
This From Snapshots to Great Shots guide will teach Nikon D3200 owners how to make great shots using their new camera. Users learn how to create the type of photos that inspired them to buy the camera in the first place. Everything in the book is in service of creating a great image!
Starting with the top ten things users needed to know about the camera, photographer Rob Sylvan carefully guides readers through the operating features. Owners get practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, end of chapter assignments, and coverage of shooting video.
Nikon D3200: From Snapshots to Great Shots includes coverage of leveraging all the key new features, such as:
- The optional WU-1a Wi-Fi module, which will be able to broadcast to smartphones over a 49ft range.
- The camera can now shoot up to 1080p30 video (rather than the D3100's 24p) and has a 920k dot LCD, up from 230k dots.
- 24.2 megapixels and improved continuous shoot rate despite the pixel-count hike.
Beautiful images, clear design, and a friendly and knowledgeable voice throughout the book make this a far cry from text-heavy, boring manual!
