Dummies' Guide to Canon DSLR Photography

Postby leek on Wed Jul 06, 2005 12:18 am

Apparently Canon have published a site full of tips to help beginners in the area of Digital SLRs....

http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/enjoydslr/index.html

VERY conveniently, and in a desperate attempt to capture an audience within the Australian Nikon community they have also included a guide on how to capture a decisive moment

H T H ...
Cheers, John

I just had a decisive moment.

I decided to waste 2 minutes of my time and get a nice screen cap of how you get that decisive moment, in case people are too afraid to click that link for fear of tubgirl..

And look at how sharp that Canon image looks! :)

Bad bad boy Leigh. This is the Canon section. I'm assuming the web page must have been taken by a noob with a Ni*on :lol:

This is exactly what I was looking for. It's giving me the theory with the pratical pictures and explanations. Fantastic stuff.

Back to ISO settings.....

P.S. I told you I was a complete novice, trying to run before walking.

With a lens like that, this has obviously been made with long distance calls in mind!

You can dial in the number of megapixels you want, it's then up to the operator to give them to you. :p
