Nikon Df Experience goes beyond the manual to help you learn the features, settings, and controls of this unique and highly customizable camera. Plus most importantly it explains how, when and why to use the camera's basic and advanced features, settings, and controls in your photography. This clear, concise, and comprehensive guide will help you learn to use your Df quickly and competently, to consistently make the types of images you desire.

Take control of your camera and the photos you create!

This e-book is designed for intermediate and enthusiast dSLR photographers who wish to take fuller advantage of the capabilities of their camera and shoot competently in A, S, and M shooting modes; take full control of the autofocus system and metering modes; and learn how, when, and why to use and customize the controls, buttons, and features of the Df.

For experienced photographers this guide explains the new and advanced features of the Df in order to quickly enable you to take advantage of these capabilities including the unique controls, the sophisticated 39 Point AF System and its AF Modes, AF-Area Modes, and Custom Settings, and the use of legacy Nikkor lenses.

Sections include:

-Setting Up Your Df - All of the Custom Settings, Playback, Shooting,  Setup, and Retouch Menus, with explanations and recommended settings to set up and customize the advanced features to work best for the way you photograph.

-Aperture Priority (A), Shutter Priority (S), and Manual (M) Modes - How and when to use them to create dramatic depth of field, freeze or express motion, or take total control over exposure settings.

-Auto Focusing Modes and Area Modes, and Release Modes - Learn the AF Modes, AF Area Modes, and AF Custom Settings, how they differ, how and when to take advantage of them to capture both still and moving subjects.

-Exposure Metering Modes - How they differ, how and when to use them for correct exposures in every situation.

-Histograms, Exposure Compensation, Bracketing, and White Balance - Understanding and using these features for adjusting to the proper exposure in challenging lighting situations.

-The Image Taking Process - Descriptive tutorials for using the settings and controls to take photos of both still and moving subjects.

-Lenses - Setting up the camera to take advantage of older Nikkor lenses, including AF, AI, and Non-AI lenses.

-Composition - Tips, techniques, and explanations, including the creative use of depth of field.

-Photography Accessories and Books - Useful accessories for digital photography including those specific to the Df.

What Readers are Saying about the author's previous Nikon guides:

It's the first guide I've read which has taken me through all the settings in an understandable way. I now feel that I have control over the camera.
-Peter S.

It's clear, concise and gets to the heart of the camera's multiple and often confusing options. Very highly recommended - for experienced user and beginner alike.
-G.S.A.

This is the most helpful manual I've ever used. No serious Nikon user should be without this. I find myself referring back to this book quite often - very easy to find what I need and even easier to understand.
-S.B.
