All the basics in one easy-to-read book

A great handbook for learning the basics of camera operation and setup. I have had several classes at film schools where this book was required reading.

Still looking for an advanced refresher

Turned out to be too simple and a really slow read. Hoping to find a decent refresher and this was not it.

This is the best basic reference book on how cameras work!

I just bought the kindle version. I've had an earlier edition for many years and always use it as a reference. It should be in every filmmaker's library!
