Canon EOS 6D: The Guide to Understanding and Using Your Camera – New Book

By

Canon EOS 6D Book

Canon EOS 6D: The Guide to Understanding and Using Your Camera is a new book from photographer Jim Johnson.

“This book’s exploration of the EOS 6D goes beyond that of the user’s manual. It provides illustrations, step-by-step setting adjustments, helpful suggestions for setup, and detailed explanations for each of the camera’s many features and menu configurations. The text is illustrated with easy-to-follow screenshots and example images. This book will also introduce intermediate-level camera users to DSLR model-differentiating features: built-in GPS and Wi-Fi.”

Canon EOS 6D: The Guide to Understanding and Using Your Camera retails for $39.95; however, it is currently available for $27.84 on Amazon.com.
