Nikon D3000 Guide for Beginners

The Official Nikon D3000 manual is very short and straight to the point. Many times you’ll find a chart or a feature that has a really short explanation. Many of the terms in the manual can be confusing and as a beginner you’ll find yourself putting it down in frustration.

If you’re like me…then you want a manual that not only touches on the different features that the D3000 has to offer, but also SHOWS you detailed steps in setting up your camera for the best results. The Nikon D3000 Guide written by David Busch is the answer!

Each button, dial, feature and shooting mode found on the Nikon D3000 is illustrated with large full color illustrations and photos to help you easily setup your camera.

The Nikon D3000 guide also has individual chapters on understanding exposure, mastering the D3000′s autofocus options, working with burst mode and many other advanced techniques written in a way that even beginners can understand.

If you haven’t done so already, then I would mosey on over to Amazon and pick up yourself a copy today, click here.

Nikon D3000 Guide to Photography

Since we’re talking about great beginners guides for the Nikon D3000, I also wanted to point out the
Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby.

This book helps you quickly setup your camera without a lecture about technical terms like aperture, exposure, and depth of field.

If you’re wondering…

“‘How do I get my subject into focus, but with the background out of focus?”

…Scott gives you a very short (usually one paragraph) answer as how to setup your camera for the best shot.

He currently has three volumes of the Digital Photography Book and each one has hundreds of quick tips to help you shoot in many different situations. As I mentioned above, each shooting topic is covered in one page or less which is great for beginners who just want to start shooting.

I highly recommend the Digital Photography Book as a great beginners guide to photography, click here for a quick link to Scott’s books.
