If you’re feeling overwhelmed about taking your camera off auto and learning how to change all the different settings your camera has to offer, you’ll love this step-by-step guide to learning how to use your camera to its full potential, with interactive assignments to get you out there to get some hands on practice after every topic.
What You Will Learn in the Video:
If you are someone that is new to owning an SLR camera this is perfect! This DVD is perfect to show you how to use your camera in the most basic ways but it also gives you a lot to play with. Even the most seasoned photographer can learn a few little secrets with this DVD.
The DVD is about 45 minutes long and is stated in a way that even Grandma, who just got her first SLR and retired her 35mm, can go through and understand. Along the way through the DVD there are spots made for time-outs so you can pause it and go practice what was just taught. The host of the DVD also has you consult your owner's manual for your specific camera. This makes it more personal for you and your camera. It also makes it so you know your camera a lot better after you're done.
This is a DVD that I will probably consult from time to time even as a professional photographer. If you'd like to check out this DVD and purchase it, you can do so from the Photographer Overnight website. Photographer Overnight also offers a number of other learning DVDs on photography (you can see the photo at the bottom of the review).

My daughter would LOVE this DVD since she is the photographer in our family. She always has a camera in her hand!
I would. I love my camera but I know I am not using it the way I need to.
This would be for me... I got a DSLR camera about 2 months ago and still figuring it out.
My brother would definitely benefit from this and I think even though he is already a good photographer, he would like this set.
