This book is your guide to getting more interesting and creative photos with
the 15.1 megapixel Canon EOS 50D. It discusses every camera setting on this
high-quality camera in a clear, well-illustrated style, with many integrated
tips and QuickSteps, but it also does much more. You'll also learn the
concepts of photography as you learn why and when you use specific settings,
not just how to set them. You'll find that this guide helps you quickly
master your camera so you'll be able to get the kinds of photos you had hoped
for.

The printed edition of the book is black & white and has a well-liked spiral
binding that lets the book lie flat or be folded back on itself. Just some of
the things you'll learn in this book are how to take pictures in fully
automatic point and shoot mode and how your camera captures digital images;
how to play back and manage your images; how to use buttons, dials, and menus;
control image size and quality, including using the popular and high-quality
RAW format; shoot continuously; use all of the camera's exposure modes and
exposure controls to get photos that show the scene exactly as it is, or as
you want to interpret it; use histograms for the best possible exposures; see
how to control sharpness in your photographs; and how to use focus, depth-of-
field, sharpness, softness, and blur creatively. Learn all about light and
colour and how to take advantage of them. Understand how they change throughout
the day and seasons, how they're affected by the weather, and how light's
direction and quality affects highlights and shadows. See how to set white
balance to capture colours the way you see them. Learn how to use your zoom
lens creatively when photographing scenery, interiors, people, and very small
subjects. See how to creatively use the built in, and optional external flash,
indoors and out and in good light and bad, and how to use studio lighting for
product shots and portraits. Explore little known but essential flash techniques
such as fill and slow sync flash. Finally, see how to use Live View, continuous
photography, picture styles, and remote control photography; customise the camera
to better suit your shooting style; and care for your camera.
