This book, a complete guide to the operation and features of the
Nikon Coolpix P500, is a follow-up to the author's earlier guides
to advanced compact digital cameras, including, most recently, the
Panasonic Lumix LX5 and the Canon PowerShot S95. The new book, like
the earlier ones, explains all operations, features, menus, and
controls of the Coolpix P500 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 adopts a patient and
helpful tone in explaining topics such as autofocus, manual focus,
depth of field, aperture priority, shutter priority, HDR (High
Dynamic Range) photography, and macro photography. The book also
includes a detailed discussion of techniques for using the camera's
phenomenal zoom lens, with a maximum focal length of 810mm, to full
advantage. The book's more than 200 photographs, almost all in full
color, provide illustrations of the camera's controls and menus,
and also include examples of the various types of photographs that
can be taken using the many creative settings of the camera,
including the Optimize Image settings, which let the photographer
alter the color processing of images; the Scene modes, with
settings that are optimized for various subjects, including
landscapes, portraits, and action shots; and the camera's
particularly strong array of features for continuous shooting and
interval shooting. In addition, the book goes beyond the realm of
everyday photography, and provides introductions to more advanced
topics such as infrared photography, 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 Coolpix P500,
which can record high-definition (HD) video with stereo sound, and
which has special settings for recording short clips of high-speed
video at rates up to 8 times normal speed. In three appendices, the
book provides information about accessories available for the
camera, sets forth a list of useful web sites and other resources
for further information, and includes a section with helpful "quick
tips" that give particular insights into how to take advantage of
the camera's features in the most efficient ways possible.
