    Whether you’re an experienced cameraman with a vast working knowledge of F Stops and Shutter Speeds or just starting out, this book is a must have and the perfect companion to the G10 and XA10 – It explains EVERY function of these cameras in PLAIN ENGLISH in a way that won’t confuse the beginner nor bore the experienced photo pro.

    The factory manuals are great, but in addition to being 10000000000+ pages in 12+ languages, the manuals can easily confuse the owner since they are almost always written by pro’s who forget not everyone has a vast working knowledge of photography and video.

    This book covers ALL of the basics and camera modes/settings. From full Auto to Manual mode, it’s covered. The author makes it even better by providing crystal clear directions and clear diagrams. My copy is barely a month old but is falling apart from the use I have gotten out of it.

    Buy the camera, skip the mind numbing manual, get this book and start shooting in more than just generic auto mode. Had I not bought the book to compliment the camera I’d probably of set fire to the manual and sent the camera back. There is simply too many cool and mind blowing things you can do with these cameras that the manual doesn’t even get into – This book does. I figured it would be another book written in pro language, by a pro and (solely) for a pro – It’s pro written but geared towards EVERYONE – Definitely one of the better ‘how to’ guides out there. F2.2 at 1/48th of a second sound confusing? After a week of testing and reading it won’t, because this book explains the what and why of it – Def worth 5 Stars!

    I’ve been shooting video for 30 years and have different cameras, including the XA10 model.
    I bought the book to see if I can refer to this book and not the manual…. that’s really not a good way to learn about the camera. Granted, the Canon manual has everything in it, but not an easy thing to follow.
    That’s why you’re here :)
    Am I correct?

    This book makes it so easy to look up something on your camera. If you shoot AUTO mode all the time, this may not be much interest to you. However, there are loads of good tips how to shoot a great video. If nothing else, read those parts to make better movies:)
    Am sure all new owners of this great camera will appreciate the detailed information. It’s well written in simple language anyone can understand.

    This is the best thing you can buy for such a little money and learn a great deal!

    I’ve been shooting with my XA10 for one year now, thinking I knew my camera well. Turns out I didn’t.
    This book is amazing. You will learn a bunch of new stuff on every single page, not only about the camera, but about a lot of relatively advanced stuff on image composition, aperture, exposure, color balance, lighting, sound, etc. that can also be utilized with other cameras. It is quite technical and advanced but the way the book is written makes it relatively easy to absorb all the material. If you read the book carefully, I think that you will acquire the amount of technical knowledge students in cinema classes learn in their first few trimesters in college. There’s a bunch of pictures and graphs that are very useful. If you have an XA10 and are serious about achieving high quality results, you absolutely must get this book.
