Thom Hogan's
Complete Guide to the Nikon D200

This eBook helps you master the use of the Nikon D200 digital SLR, with a full description of the camera features and lots of useful tips and background information. This is the work that should have been the manual! This eBook is a must-read for any D200 user, with over 700 pages of information about everything about how SLRs work, to how to use the camera and the software that accompanies it. This eBook is supplied on CD-ROM for $29.95 plus shipping and handling, and can only be purchased from this site. For more information about the eBook and purchaser comments, keep reading...to order it, see the top of the right-hand column.

• Organized to help you learn. I've reorganized how I present material, with distinct sections for what you need to know before using the camera (background and setup), while using the camera (shooting features), and after using the camera (what to do with your images, including how to use Nikon's software). Want a more concise carry-it-with-you guide? Just print the middle section and have it bound to take with you.
• A complete instruction manual and an introduction to relevant digital issues in one book. Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D200 manages to not only fully describe every feature of the D200 in clear, easy-to-understand language, but gives you rich, technical background for many of the critical issues that confront digital camera users. First time DSLR users will get information about how DSLRs work. DSLR veterans will get insights into how to set their D200 for the best results.
• Nikon flash and autofocus modes explained in plain English! Wonder how the new I-TTL flash works? Can't figure out Dynamic autofocus, Release Priority, Focus Priority, Closest Focus Priority, the new AF-A autofocus mode, and a host of other terms used to describe features of the focusing system? Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D200 explains these terms and accompanying techniques in the same simple, no-nonsense language that made his Nikon Field Guide a best seller. Includes information on how to use the D200's Commander mode wireless flash option.
• Includes useful Photoshop Actions and Depth of Field spreadsheet. On the disc is Thom's Excel spreadsheet, which allows you to calculate depth of field and hyperfocal distance for any Nikon lens used with the D200 (note that depth of field on a digital body like the D200 is not the same as it is for 35mm film). But that's not all! You'll also get Excel workbooks for macro and flash (know how to calculate the GN of multiple flashes or the effective GN when bouncing? You will if buy this book!).
• Note: The eBook covers the MB-D200 and other currently available D200 options and accessories, but it does not currently cover the WT-3 wireless transceiver.

"What a masterful piece of work." --N. Caprinolo

"I love your clear, concise explanations and the cross referencing system that you use." --A. Hayat

"I've very happy with [The Complete Guide to the Nikon D200]. I bought the D200 back at the end of June, jumped in and fell for the glossy iNova site and bought Peter's eBook before finding info about yours.  I can't say I was disappointed in the iNova book either but I am finding yours much easier to read and less 'gimicky.'" --D. Moore
