understand the controls on a lens. The downloadable
resources provide that information in a graphical and easily
understandable way.
The upcoming material is best read with camera in hand,
ready for configuration. There are literally hundreds of things
to configure on this professional-level camera. In this chapter,
I'll give a new user of the D300(S) camera a place to start.
Later, as you progress through this book, we'll look at all the
buttons, switches, dials, and menu settings in detail.
Each menu in the camera has its own chapter or section. Plus,
there is additional information on how to "put it all together"
in chapters like
Chapter
9;
Chapter
10;
Chapter
11; and
Chapter
12. And, since the D300S has the new
D-Movie
mode, we'll cover that in its own chapter, called
Chapter
8.
