Introduction
Throw away your cheat-sheets and command cards! Are you tired of squinting
at tiny color-coded tables on fold-out camera cards? Do you wish you had the
most essential information extracted from my comprehensive David Busch’s
Nikon D3200 Guide to Digital SLR Photography in a size you could tuck away
in your camera bag? I’ve condensed the basic reference material you need in
this handy, lay-flat book, David Busch’s Compact Field Guide for the Nikon
D3200. In it, you’ll find the explanations of why to use each setting and
option—information that is missing from the cheat-sheets and the book pack-
aged with the camera. You won’t find the generic information that pads out the
other compact guides. I think youll want to have both this reference and my
full-sized guideone to help you set up and use your Nikon D3200, and the
other to savor as you master the full range of things this great camera can do.
