Please make sure you're ordering the correct book. Nikon has both a Zf and a Zfc model, and the books for each are different! The above link is for the Zfc (crop sensor) camera.

This book is different than my Complete Guides in that it only tackles the primary problem that most users have with a new camera: how the heck do you get it configured to work the way you want it to work, and how do you then use it?
Thus, you'll find that this isn't a do-all, tell-all, expose-all tome like my other books have been. Nope, this book is a get-out-your-camera and read along to get the Nikon Zfc camera set exactly right for your photography. I tackle this in some clear steps:
- Fix some defaults
- Make all your one-time settings
- Customize the camera controls
- Settle into your basic shooting options (look, focus, and more)
- Get hooked up to your mobile device
- Use your Zfc for various tasks (includes the split personality of traditional dials versus modern dials)
- Save your settings for later convenient retrieval
Along the way I deal with things like how Nikon's organized the menu system and how to navigate it quickly, how to set up back button focus (and some supporting focus button options. as well as picking your initial preferred AF-Area mode), how to set up the camera to evaluate exposure, and much, much more. Yes, I do discuss when to use higher ISO values and some of the other major settings, but I don't go into the detailed level I do in my Complete Guides.
Because this book takes a far simpler approach than my Complete Guides, I'm able to use the ePub format to publish it as a download, which makes it perfect for any reader device, big or small. It's been optimized for Apple Books (macOS, iOS, and iPadOS), but it works with other e-readers, as well.
