If you've spent time and effort online and in the Nikon manuals you already know that they explain how the settings work but not why. As we all shoot different subjects and have preferences as to metering modes on different shoots , there are a lot of questions as to which is the best setting for each. I use Photoshop in post production; my settings will be different than yours if you do not use a powerful post software. I shoot fast moving subjects; my settings will be different than yours if you shoot landscapes. I basically shoot a Nikon D3X and D3 but help my brother with his D300. These are powerful tools you don't want to randomly mess-around with when you determine your best settings. I wasted two weeks playing around with possibilities on my three awesome factory default-set cameras, only to be more confused in the end. I even found a reviewer online named "Ken X" who's suggestions are outlandish! Most photographers don't even know what their own settings are, leaving everything at "default" that Nikon has installed into these powerful machines. As such, you will get wonderful shots, but miss so much more. This book is unbelievably simple and precise to understand, with not only what the settings do, but why, and what is suggested for each metering method. I actually recommended reading through the Nikon manual on my website, which is a vague start and takes a lot of guesswork on your part, but I'm going to change that recommendation to "Read the Magic Lantern" books by photographer Simon Stafford. You won't learn this information in the field or in school. My circle of friends include many retired Cinematographers who are still stuck on film because they don't understand digital until they see it in action. Even they need to rethink how digital works compared to the old film days. Finally, not everyone has the years of working in Photoshop that others may have; this is a big drawback as all shooting needs post production. The Dark Room is still as important today as it ever was, but it's in the camera settings. I'm sharing a treasure of information with you if you're really into photography and not merely shooting snapshots, though there is nothing wrong with that. Mary Ann

This is a great addition to the kit for anyone buying a used D300 (can't get a new one these days). This is not a newbie camera. It is a tool, and this book is clarifying a great deal of the function in the camera after four years of using it. The book is well written by knowledgeable people.
It enhances the investment in this great piece of equipment.
