The book is well written with lots of information

Excellent book. Very well organized, clear, and down to the point. I learned so much. One of the tips the author gave, which seems obvious in hindsight, is that setting continuous shooting will limit your shutter speed. I tend to set all my cameras to continuous shooting, because I figure that if I need just one shot, I can take just one shot. If I need a burst, I can just hold down the shutter without having to change settings. But once you think about it, if you have 10 shots per second, for example, each shot has to be faster than 1/10 of a second. Even if you just take one shot. In this camera, the longest you can go with continuous shooting is 1/30 of a second. Once I learned that, I turned off continuous shooting and my photo quality increased. I was able to use lower ISO because the shutter speed was automatically set to slower.I will definitely buy another book from the same author for my other camera, Sony a6400. I've had it for years but I'm sure there's a lot I don't know and I'm excited to unlock more potential!

I got a used but in good condition, that was obviously NOT the case. The books itself is great and very useful, thankfully the important pages were in useable condition after I taped it together and ironed it out a bit. But honestly, at least half my $25 should be refunded to me.

After recently purchasing a Nikon Coolpix P950 ultrazoom camera, I realized that lack of a complete printed manual would prohibit my learning all the features of this camera. I find reading an online version is clumsy and difficult and I had no interest in downloading and printing several hundred pages. Remember when cameras came with chunky little instruction manuals that covered everything you needed to know? Anyway, I decided to purchase Alexander White's book on this camera and am extremely glad I did. I'm about half-way through it, and it covers features I didn't know this camera had. It reveals how to access all the features and functions, is written in an easy-to-comprehend manner and is well-organized. In addition to teaching all aspects of the P950, it also includes lots of basic photography information that I'd either forgotten or never learned over the decades that I've been taking photographs. If you've purchased the Nikon Coolpix P950, I strongly recommend that you purchase this book; it will help you get the most out of your camera and will add considerably to your enjoyment of it.

I bought this along with the camera for my daughter to take on her trip to Antarctica. I wanted her to have an easy print version of “directions” to take with her, and this fits the bill perfectly. Camera accessories, and book make a perfect package

I have referenced this book several times and it is easy to find what I’m looking for, very informative, and has helped me to make better use of the functions of my camera. Great purchase. I highly recommend.

If you have the P950 you need this book. I use my camera for travel, birding and events. This book helps me get off auto modes and get better results. From learning the basics of aperture, iso, shutter and lighting to more advance concepts that are easily explained. My photos are so much better once I learned a few tricks from this book. I digested a chapter or two each day and just used what I learned as I snapped. I quickly found my images were sharper and better with less noise or blur.

The guide is comprehensive and easy to understand. The colour illustrations help.

Onmisbare informatie over het correct gebruiken van de Nikon P950, vlot en duidelijk geschreven. Een aanrader voor wie meer uit zijn/haar Nikon P950 wil halen. Snelle en verzorgde verzending.

Väldigt bra och tydligt om hur kameran kan användas maximalt. 🤩👌

The author states in his introduction that the online manual available for the P950 is more detailed, but I beg to differ.Having used the same author’s similar excellent guide to my previous camera- a Nikon Coolpix B700- this was my first purchase after buying my new P950.It is an excellent resource to get the most out of the camera. Each feature of the camera is explained simply and without jargon, and it’s usage, advantages and limitations described with examples. And in some cases even how to push those limitations. The example images aren’t great in the Kindle version, however, but are made up for in the descriptions.But having it on my Kindle means I have an excellent go-to reference manual at my fingertips.A truly wonderful resource to go with a fantastic camera. I would thoroughly recommend this for new, or even experienced, users of the model.

Muy buen detallodo, con muchas explicaciones y consejos en como usar la camara Nikon coolpix P950.
