The Sony DSC-RX100 has been hailed by reviewers and general
photographers as one of the highest-quality compact digital cameras
ever produced. With its larger-than-normal image sensor, superior
image quality, and impressive array of features for creative
photography, this camera has attracted a large and dedicated
following in the photography community. However, the camera does
not come with a printed manual, or even a PDF manual that can
readily be printed for reference. So, until now, it has been
difficult for users of the camera to find answers to their
questions about the use of the camera's many controls, menus, and
features. With the release of this new book, White Knight Press has
provided users of the RX100 with a comprehensive guide to all
operations, features, menus, and controls of this amazing camera.
Using a patient, tutorial-like approach, the book provides guidance
to beginning and intermediate photographers not only about how to
accomplish things with the RX100, but when and why to use the
camera's many 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,
exposure compensation, white balance, and ISO sensitivity. The book
also provides full details of the camera's numerous menu options
for playback, setup, and customizing the operation of the various
buttons and other controls. The book's more than 300 photographs,
most of them in full color, illustrate the RX100's controls,
shooting screens, and menus. The photographs also provide examples
of the various 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, and macro photography. The
book also includes a full discussion of the video recording
abilities of the RX100, 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,
including cases, external flash units, 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. The guidebook to the RX100 includes a detailed Table of
Contents and Index, so the reader can quickly find needed
information about any particular feature or aspect of the camera.
