On The Cover

Theres a reason I carry this camera with me everywhere. You just never know when the light will be amazing. Despite a dark theatre and lights moving around at breakneck speed, this camera nailed it using Program mode, AF-C and Lock-On AF Wide (my walk-around settings). I couldnt have done better if I had time to set everything to manual (which I didnt).

For Those of You Who Bought the Printed or E-Reader Edition

There are a LOT of demonstrative illustrations in this book that kind of lose their effectiveness when converted to black-and-white. And some are difficult to see on e-book reader screens like the original Kindle.

And so to offset these problems Im offering a free, full-color, instantly-downloadable .pdf file of this ebook to all customers who bought printed books (be they color or black-and-white), or who purchased this work through the Amazon Kindle, Apple, Barnes and Noble, or any other e-reader store. (The original .pdf file really does offer a superior user experience. Think of it as the directors cut regarding how the author intended the work to be seen.)

To get your free .pdf file, just email me ( ) with a copy of your receipt and Ill send you a download link. Such a deal!

About the Photos

The photo pages preceding each chapter are images from the www.FriedmanArchives.com stock photo website, and were taken with a wide variety of different cameras over the past 30 years.

Yours truly, showing off my latest book.

Gary L. Friedman is a professional photographer who has traveled the world with both film and digital cameras.

Because he teaches seminars worldwide, Mr. Friedman stays in touch with the concerns and frustrations of serious amateurs the kinds of people who buy cameras like the RX100 series.

Before graduating to photography he was a rocket scientist for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (you know, those guys who landed probes on Mars and sent robots like Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, Pathfinder, Spirit, and Discovery to explore the outer solar system), where he patented the image authentication system used in high-end Canon and Nikon cameras. He has been published in books, newspapers and magazines worldwide, and was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records while in college (go ahead and search the FriedmanArchives.com website if you want to find out what he did to get included).
