Book Reviews of Canon 40D inBrief Laminated Referece Card

Book Review: Does what it is suppose to......"what's this 5 Stars

The Canon 40D is NOT a Simple Camera. Personal experience says it would be a fair question to ask: Who the heck knows what all the controls are for on this camera? close to none out of a hundred could say they do.

You might learn a sequence of controls to take particular types of shots but the 40D has many settings and controls for many approaches to photography. Even a semester in college could be justified after which I suspect most of us would still forget what all the menus and controls are for.

This reminder page can help. It can also expand your approach to using the 40D abilities. If you find a narrow nitch approach to you photo taking then perhaps this reference card is not necessary. It has been helpful to me in my on-going learning of how to use the 40D.

Also recommend at least two instruction books besides the manual that comes with the camera. Two because often it has helped me read two explanations for a operations or procedure.

The Canon 40D can be used for casual photos. That is not what it was designed for. Mastering all the controls for better photography is easier with this reference card. Particularly if you are about to take a picture and cannot remember something on the camera.

Summary of Canon 40D inBrief Laminated Referece Card

The Canon 40D comes with many controls and settings that allow you to capture the perfect exposure. Remembering where they are and exactly how they work together is a difficult, if not impossible task.


You can carry the user manual in your bag, but it s over one hundred pages long. Finding the answer to your question can be a frustrating experience.


The inBrief camera reference card is a laminated, foldable guide that answers most camera operation questions quickly and easily. The information is arranged logically so you can find the answer to you question in the shortest time possible.


Each inBrief card shows an annotated line drawing of the camera and an index to the information on the other panels. If you have a question about white balance, simply look at the purple panel. Answers to custom settings are always on the green panel.


The inBrief card has laminated hinges so the card lies flat. When folded, the dimensions are 5.5 inches by 4.25 inches. It fits neatly in the outside pocket of your camera bag for instant access.


Each card is subdivided into eight subjects across twelve color-coded panels. An overview of the information on each panel is listed below.


Teal: Annotated line drawing and general index
Blue: Viewfinder, Control panel, and Monitor displays
Red: Camera functions by exposure mode and flash information
Lime: Focus, Drive Modes, and Self-Timer
Yellow: Exposure, Metering, Bracketing
Purple: White Balance, ISO, Image Size / Quality
Orange: Displaying Images, Resetting the camera
Green: Custom Settings and Functions
 


Each card is professionally printed on 10 point card stock and laminated on each side for long wear and protection from the elements. Once you have an inBrief, you can leave your manual at home.
