Introduction

Yet again Nikon has another winner on its hands. The Nikon D5100 builds upon the success of theD5000 by adding even more features and tweaking the existing features to make it even better than before. With the 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and the new redesigned highdefinition Vari-Angle LCD this camera is sure to be a favorite of still photographers and videographers alike, especially since the addition of full 1080p high-definition video with full-time autofocus, a feature that it shares with the D7000. With superb high ISO performance and amazing possibilities with the depth-of-field options, dSLRs like the D5100 are taking over the video industry.

The Nikon D5100 fills in the gap between the entry-level D3100 and the more advanced model the D90, its designed as more of a beginner camera, but with all of its advanced features its a great camera all around even for a seasoned pro who wants something small yet capable for grabbing snapshots.

This Digital Field Guide is designed with beginners and even more advanced photographers in mind. The basics such as exposure and composition are covered along with advice about lenses and on to more advanced topics such as lighting, and the Real-World Applications chapter takes an in-depth look at specific topics. The Scene modes ensure that even the most inexperienced user can start taking great shots right out of the box, but the ultimate goal of this book is to get you thinking for the camera and not the other way around.

So lets get started learning your great new camera, the Nikon D5100!
