Description
Focal Digital Camera Guides: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/450D
Just bought a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/450D and looking to combine
practical know-how with inspiration? This one-stop, easy-to-read guide covers all the basic functions of the camera, and everything beyond.
For the basics, turn to the quick start guide, which will get you up and running in five minutes.
For an understanding of your camera's
many controls and features, check out the section called "The Camera." If all you need is a quick explanation, you'll find it. If you're
looking for the Whole Story, you'll find that, too. Settings that affect how your pictures look are accompanied by full-color examples
that show you exactly what you can expect. This section also covers the camera's menus, playback features, memory, and power sources.
The section called "Software" shows you how to get the most out of your camera's software. It covers tethered shooting, color management,
RAW conversion, storing your images, managing your library, and backup strategies - to name just a few topics.
Ultimately, this book's
greatest strength isn't its focus on the camera or the software; it's the detailed, easy-to-follow instruction it offers on using your
camera to take truly superior photographs. Sections devoted to lenses, subject matter, and light cover these variables in depth, always
presenting the most effective techniques in the context of the strengths and limitations of the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/450D.
