Nikon D7000 Digital Camera User Manual


 
took me to “exotic” locations that included Florida, San Diego, and Ireland. You’ll find
photos of some of these visual treasures within the pages of this book.
Like all my digital photography books, this one was written by a Nikon devotee with
an incurable photography bug. My first Nikon SLR was a venerable Nikon F back in
the 1960s, and I’ve owned most of the newer digital models since then.
Over the years, I’ve worked as a sports photographer for an Ohio newspaper and for an
upstate New York college. I’ve operated my own commercial studio and photo lab, crank-
ing out product shots on demand and then printing a few hundred glossy 8 × 10s on a
tight deadline for a press kit. I’ve served as a photo-posing instructor for a modeling
agency. People have actually paid me to shoot their weddings and immortalize them with
portraits. I even prepared press kits and articles on photography as a PR consultant for
a large Rochester, N.Y., company, which shall remain nameless. My trials and travails
with imaging and computer technology have made their way into print in book form
an alarming number of times, including a few dozen on scanners and photography.
Like you, I love photography for its own merits, and I view technology as just another
tool to help me get the images I see in my mind’s eye. But, also like you, I had to mas-
ter this technology before I could apply it to my work. This book is the result of what
I’ve learned, and I hope it will help you master your Nikon D7000 digital SLR, too.
As I write this, I’m currently in the throes of upgrading my website, which you can
find at www.nikonguides.com, adding tutorials and information about my other books.
There’s a lot of information about several Nikon models right now, but I’ll be adding
tips and recommendations about the Nikon D7000 (including a list of equipment and
accessories that I can’t live without) in the next few months. I hope you’ll stop by for
a visit. I’ve also set up a wish list of Nikon cameras, lenses, and accessories on
Amazon.com for those who want to begin shopping now. I hope you’ll stop by for a
visit to my blog at http://www.dslrguides.com/blog, where you’ll find a list of any typos
sharp-eyed readers have reported. You’ll find my equipment recommendations at
