This is the black-and-white edition of Photographer's Guide to the
Fujifilm X10. This edition of the book contains all of the same
content as the original, full-color edition; the only difference is
that all of the photographs are reproduced in grayscale (black and
white) rather than in color, so that the book can be made available
at a lower cost. The text of the book discusses the images as if
they were in color; the color photographs will be made available in
an electronic version of the book to any purchaser of the
black-and-white edition of the book upon request to the publisher.
This 338-page book, a complete guide to the operation and features
of the Fujifilm X10 digital camera, is a follow-up to the author's
earlier guides to advanced compact digital cameras, including the
Fujifilm X100 as well as models by Leica, Panasonic, Canon, and
Nikon. The new book explains all operations, features, menus, and
controls of the Fujifilm X10 camera in clear language, providing
guidance not only about how to accomplish things with the camera,
but when and why to use certain features. The book does not assume
any specialized knowledge by the reader, but explains topics such
as shooting modes, autofocus, manual focus, depth of field,
aperture priority, shutter priority, HDR (High Dynamic Range)
photography, white balance, ISO, and macro photography. The book
also shows how to take advantage of the camera's unique CMOS sensor
with Fujifilm's EXR technology. This special sensor enables the
camera to be configured for high resolution, high sensitivity in
dim lighting, or high dynamic range, depending on the lighting
conditions the photographer is faced with. The book also provides
guidance about the many the X10's many other advanced settings,
including adjustments for Color, Sharpness, Highlight Tone, Shadow
Tone, and numerous others. The guide's more than 200 photographs

include examples of the various types of photographs that can be
taken using the many creative settings of the camera, including the
Film Simulation settings, which let the photographer alter the
color processing and other aspects of images; various menu options
such as Dynamic Range and Intelligent Digital Zoom; and the
camera's strong set of features for continuous shooting. In
addition, the book goes beyond everyday photography with
introductions to more advanced topics such as infrared photography,
astrophotography, digiscoping, street photography, and creating 3D
(three-dimensional) images that can be viewed with conventional red
and blue 3D glasses. The book also includes a full discussion of
the video recording abilities of the Fujifilm X10, which can
capture high-definition (HD) video with stereo sound and can take
silent slow-motion movies to enable studies of sports and other
actions. In three appendices, the book provides information about
accessories available for the camera, including cases, filter
adapters, and external flash units; sets forth a list of useful web
sites and other resources for further information; and includes a
section with "quick tips" that give particular insights into how to
take advantage of the camera's features in the most efficient ways
possible. The book includes a detailed Table of Contents and a full
Index, so the reader can quickly find needed information about any
particular feature or aspect of the camera.
