Introduction to the Nikon D50

     
 

The Nikon D50 takes great shots right out of the box, but understanding the controls and features of the camera can really unleash its potential. This video explains how the camera's controls are designed to work together to capture the best image under all conditions. Each subject is contained in a separate chapter, so you can proceed at your own pace, and later come back to an individual topic.
This 84 minute DVD can cut weeks or months off the learning curve for new D50 owners. 

 

   
  Camera operation is broken down into easily understood components.  Then the D50 owner is walked through real-world examples, building on the foundation already established.  Many through-the-viewfinder examples make this camera much easier to understand and enjoy.
