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 D800/D800E 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
D800/D800E. 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 D800, and the
other to savor as you master the full range of things this great camera can do.
