With the release of the DSC-RX100 II camera, Sony has built upon
the success of the earlier RX100 model, adding a hot shoe, tilting
LCD screen, Wi-Fi capability, upgraded digital sensor, and several
other enhancements. White Knight Press, which published a
well-received guide to the RX100, has released this new guide book
that addresses all of the new features of the RX100 II and includes
a full discussion of the many advanced features that are common to
both camera models. With the publication of this book, author
Alexander White provides users of the RX100 II with a guide to all
operations, features, menus, and controls of the camera. Using a
patient, tutorial-like approach, the book shows beginning and
intermediate photographers not only how to accomplish things with
the RX100 II, but when and why to use the camera's many features.
The book does not assume specialized knowledge by the reader as it
explains topics such as autofocus, manual focus, depth of field,
aperture priority, shutter priority, exposure compensation, white
balance, and ISO sensitivity. The book provides full details of the
camera's numerous shooting modes as well as its many menu options
for shooting, playback, setup, and special effects. The book
includes full coverage of the new features of the RX100 II,
including the use of the camera's built-in capability to transfer
images and videos over a wireless network and to allow the camera
to be controlled remotely by a smartphone or tablet. The book
includes approximately 400 photographs, most in full color, which
illustrate the camera's controls, shooting screens, and menus. The
images also provide examples of the types of photographs that can
be taken using the many creative settings of the camera, including
the Photo Creativity settings, which let the photographer alter the
color processing of images; the Scene shooting mode, with settings
that are optimized for various subjects, including landscapes,
portraits, and action shots; the Creative Style and Picture Effect
menu options, which offer dramatic options for altering the
appearance of images; and the camera's strong array of features for
continuous shooting and shooting in dim lighting. In addition, the
book goes beyond the bounds of everyday photography, and provides
introductions to more advanced topics such as infrared photography,
street photography, astrophotography, digiscoping, and macro
photography. The book also includes a full discussion of the video
recording abilities of the RX100 II, which can shoot
high-definition (HD) video with stereo sound, and which offers
manual control of exposure and focus during movie recording. In
three appendices, the book provides information about accessories
available for the RX100 II, including cases, external flash units,
viewfinders, and filter adapters, and includes a list of web sites
and other resources for further information. Also, the book
includes a detailed appendix with helpful "quick tips" that give
particular insights into how to take advantage of the camera's
features in the most efficient ways possible. This guide to the
RX100 II includes a detailed index, so the reader can quickly find
needed information about any particular feature or aspect of the
camera.
