This book is intended for entry-level digital SLR users. It is a
comprehensive step-by-step guide that includes a pullout quick
reference card. UK author Jon Sparks provides practical tips on how
to get the best from this versatile camera. The D3300 is Nikon's
latest entry-level DSLR. It is designed to marry the versatility
and image quality of an SLR with the simplicity and ease of
handling of the best digital compacts. Nikon has always valued
continuity as well as innovation; e.g, it has retained its tried
and tested F lens-mount (originally introduced in 1959). This means
it's possible to use many classic Nikon lenses with the D3300. At
first glance, the D3300 may look like a modest upgrade to the
D3200, but there are some significant changes under the surface.
The camera is almost exactly the same size as its predecessor, but
significantly lighter. It has a 24-megapixel sensor; the pixel
count may be the same as the D3200, but there's a major difference
as the D3300 has dispensed with an 'anti-aliasing' filter in front
of its sensor to make images even sharper.
The digital camera conceals remarkable technological innovations
that affect the formation of the image, the color representation or
automated measurements and settings. ** From photon to pixel photon
** describes the device both from the point of view of the physics
of the phenomena involved, as technical components and software it
uses. Based on the perceptual properties of the visual system as
well as on standard transmission and representation, analyzes the
solutions to meet the demands of the photographer on the
development, contrast, white balance or stabilization of image. The
advanced architectures adopted in mobile phones and developments of
computational photography are also presented, foreshadowing the
features of the future device.
