Canon Rebel T1i/500D: From Snapshots to Great Shots

An innovative approach that focuses on taking great pictures with the new Canon Rebel T1i/500D, not the inner workings of the camera Goes beyond a tour of the cameras capabilities to teach readers how to take great photos with their new CanonT1i/500D! Beautiful images, clear design, and a friendly and knowledgeable voice introduce users to their camera and helps move them right into taking beautiful photos. Not a rehash of the confusing, textbook-style camera manual (like so much of the competition) This book is for anyone who upgrades from their point-and-shoot or first DSLR to a Canon Rebel T1i/500D and wants to get the best shots possible but isnt sure what to do next. Theres the manual, of course, as well as competing books, and while they all tell camera owners, often in 400+ pages, what the camera can do, none of them shows them exactly how to use their camera to create great images! This book has one goal: to teach Canon Rebel T1i/500D owners how to make great shots using their Canon camera. It teaches them how to use their T1i/500D to create the type of photographs that inspired them to buy the camera in the first place. Everything in the book is in service of creating a great image. Starting with the top things they need to know about their camera, the author then carefully guides readers through the modes of the camera. Users will get practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and even end-of-chapter assignments that will allow T1i/500D owners to immediately put to use all the great info in each chapter. The Canon Rebel T1i/500D is a 15.1 megapixel camera and is the first in the Rebel line to feature full HD Video capture.
