If you love to take photos and want to up your game with a fantastic DSLR camera, Canon Rebel T6/1300D For Dummies is your fast track to getting picture-perfect snaps in a flash!
After looking for years for a camera, I finally decided to buy a Canon Rebel T6. The manual that comes with it is a typical camera manual, difficult to read, small, and very technical. Ironically, there are few photos in the multi-language booklet that comes with the camera.
I refer to this book as the "Missing Manual" because it's exactly what I need to better understand how to use my T6. Yes, I can put it on auto and shoot great photos, but it seems like I'm wasting most of the capabilities of this camera. The book is well-organized, with a "quick start" section and lots of 4-color comparison photos that show you the actual effect of various settings on the camera (landscape, portrait, etc.)
Like the rest of the Dummies series, (they seem to be reducing the font size of "Dummies" finally since it offends some people), the book is written in plain English without a lot of technical jargon. In fact, then they do get technical, there's a helpful icon in the left margin that says "Technical Stuff"... other icons include "Tip" "Warning" and "Remember" which are helpful as you scan through a chapter.
I'm not a professional, just an amateur enthusiast, and this is exactly the book I was looking for. Highly recommended.
