The Nikon J1 is an entry-level camera with a lot more sophisticated features than the typical beginner's camera, including 10 megapixels of resolution, blazing-fast automatic focus, and innovative features like Motion Snapshots, Smart Photo Selector (which shoots 20 pictures in a fraction of a second and chooses the best one for you), slow-motion video at 400 and 1200 frames per second, and full resolution still photographs at up to 60 frames per second. As the owner of a Nikon J1, you demand the ability to take outstanding pictures with your new camera. DAVID BUSCH'S NIKON J1 GUIDE TO DIGITAL MOVIE MAKING AND STILL PHOTOGRAPHY shows you how, when, and why to use all the cool features, controls, and functions of the Nikon J1 to take great photographs and movies. Introductory chapters will help you get comfortable with the basics of your camera before you dive right into exploring creative ways to apply file formats, resolution, and exposure. Beautiful, full-color images illustrate where the essential buttons and dials are, so you'll quickly learn how to use the Nikon J1, and use it like a pro!

A Must Read Guide for NIkon 1 J1

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased a Nikon D60 several years ago as an untrained hobbyist and also purchased the David Busch book on the camera. For me it was a big mistake because I was not knowledgeable enough for either the dslr camera or the level of information that he was imparting about the camera and photography. Since that time I have taken classes and read many books starting with the "beginner" texts, many of which did not satisfy my desire for a different kind of explanation of photography. In the meantime, I used many different kinds of point-and-shoot cameras from the most simple and advanced to the "consumer digital" camera because I am most interested in the darkroom processing side of photography, shooting in "raw" and processing with Photoshop/Lightroom. When I saw the ads and read the Nikon 1 J1 specifications, I decided that I might finally be ready. I purchased the camera and was truly amazed that it was exactly what I was looking for, both in size and capability. When I saw that Amazon would have the David Busch guide available, I knew I had hit the jackpot. I am having a difficult time putting the book down. The descriptions, explanations and detail regarding the camera construction and capability are the best I've ever seen in any camera guide. Or maybe I finally matured enough to understand what I'm reading. I can now understnd why his books are so popular. Initially, he spends time on the camera from every angle, using real pictures of each part of the camera in detail. Although I am just getting started and have not completed the book, I know I will be just as enthusiastic at the end as I am now at page 50.

Very helpful resource

Easy to read - easy to understand. I am not a photographer by any means - just someone who loves cameras and loves to take pictures. Found information just what I needed to "grow" my camera capabilities/knowledge with my new Nikon. Liked that it was written expressly for my camera and not just general references to photo concepts.
