This book, a complete guide to the operation and features of the
Nikon Coolpix P510, is a follow-up to the author's earlier guides
to advanced compact digital cameras, including the Coolpix P500,
the predecessor to this model, and several cameras from other
manufacturers, including, most recently, the Fujifilm X10 and the
Canon PowerShot S100. The new book, like the earlier ones, explains
all operations, features, menus, and controls of the camera in
clear language, providing guidance to beginning and intermediate
photographers 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 as it explains
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 1000mm, 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
Picture Control settings, which let the photographer alter the
color processing of images; the special Scene and Effects shooting
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 P510,
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 4 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.
