Finally, my Sony RX100 V Fast Track Guide is available as a
full color printed book! Note that to keep the cost for this book as
low as possible, it wasconverted directly from the ebook version, so
there is no index.However, a detailed table of contents should help you
find theinformation you need. (Hiring a professional indexer would have
raisedthe price of the book by almost $10.)
Traditional
publishers did not want to publish this book, but I love this camera so
much I self-published it at my own expense and priced the full color
version for the same price as black-and-white. I had to choose between
printing in color or hiring a professional indexer to keep the book
affordable for you.
In a few short years, Sony has gone from
being a Nikon and Canon competitor to an acknowledged innovator with a
lineup of cameras that are smaller, lighter, faster to focus, and loaded
with cutting-edge features that many of us have been dreaming about.
So, it's no wonder you're excited about your new Sony RX100 V, a tiny
pocket-sized camera with full-sized features, including a new sensor
design that allows shooting rapid-fire snapshots at up to 24 frames a
second, lightning-fast phase detect autofocus, slo-mo movies that can be
played back at speeds 40X slower than normal, and Ultra High Definition
4K video. With all these features at your disposal, you don't expect to
take good pictures with such a camera -- you demand and anticipate
outstanding photos.
Unfortunately, your gateway to pixel
proficiency is dragged down by the limited instructions provided by
Sony. Over the years, Sony has reduced the amount of useful information
included in its printed guidebooks, often to a scant few pages, and
relegated more detailed instructions to online HTML-based guides and PDF
versions that are difficult to navigate. And, sad to say, not
everything you need to know is included.
What you really need is a
guide that explains the purpose and function of the cameras' basic
controls, how you should use them, and why. That's what I am giving you
in this book. If you want a quick introduction to focus controls or
which exposure modes are best, this book is for you. If you can't decide
on what basic settings to use with your camera because you can't figure
out how changing ISO or white balance or focus defaults will affect
your pictures, you need this guide.
