About the Director
This DVD is aimed at the new DSLR photographer. The focus of the DVD is to review the most powerful controls of the Canon 40D and help the new owner understand how the buttons, dials, and displays are designed to be used together.

This title contains hundreds of examples and several excercises that the new user can practice at home. The goal is to first get the new photographer up and running quickly, then provide a resource that can be refrenced later as the owner masters the basic controls.

There are about two dozen "though the viewfinder" simulatiuons that also allow the new owner to better understand the cameras displays and the results that can be expected.

Customer Reviews

Canon 40D instruction video
Anyone that has this camera should buy this video. It explains all of the functions of the camera in easy to understand terms while it shows you how to use it. I highly recommend this video if you are a visual learner.

Very Very imformative
I had previously purchased another DVD for the Canon 40D and it hardly told you much at all, this DVD told you SO MUCH! I watched it several times and am still learning from it. Definetly the best DVD for the cameral out there, well worth the money!

easier information on the camera than the manual
These videos are very thourough on explaining the use and setting up of the cameras. much easier than trying to read a manual and follow them. this Video explains the settings and what they are for and under what curcumstances you will need them. very good.
