Nikon D5500 For Dummies

Very easy to understand and helpful. This book is great for someone who just bought the D5500 and wants to learn and understand how to operate it.

Did a lot of photography 30 years ago with a SLR. Got interested in doing architectural and outdoor sculptures. Purchased a Nikon D5500, it was amazing and also overwhelming at the same time. So Nikon D5500 for Dummies. First I tried to use it as a reference just looking for specific I needed at the time. Still was not getting the results I wanted and knew the camera could produce. So I started on page one, set my camera on a tripod next to my desk and got in to school/training mode going step by step. I can not tell you how easy and fast my proficiency has developed. After I feel I have master the concepts I go out and shot to reinforce and develop my skill. really a great learning tool.

As a technical writer I can attest that Julie is a good communicator. The book is well laid out with plenty of helpful illustrations and explanations. Very logical organization with cross referencing and detailed index. It is my bible for learning about my D5500 camera. Highly recommended!

I received a Nikon D5500 for Christmas and I wanted to learn all the features and benefits of the camera and this is the book to teach me. In typical "for Dummies" fashion, this book is very detailed and it covers every question you could possibly have and then some. Not only does it cost all the features and functions of the camera but it also covers the proper settings for the type of image you're trying to capture. It goes also covers many terms that most beginners would have little to no knowledge of. I have a much better appreciation for the art of photography, and trust me, is truly an art.

I have had a D60 for about 10yrs. ...finally saw the D5500 at a price I could afford. I started working with it and realized this is similar...but does so much more....so I quickly ordered this book...this book was laid out well, and a huge help ....my only complaint with this book is , it would help to put some numbers in a few examples, instead of 'it depends on.....' Some basic info ...would help get started . Example: when shooting in low light , how slow and aperture speed can you use? ...no info ....I found that the experts say to start at no less then 1/60 sec. So at least I had a place to start... Otherwise, the book was great, and I still use it as I try other , more advanced processes.

Being a professional photographer myself, this book is a must have to anyone enjoying the wonders of the D5500 series! It provides excellent guidance as to every possible mode you could ever think of. The manufacturer's manual is nothing compared to the abundance of information that this extraordinary guide provides! You will not be disappointed whatsoever!!!! I highly recommend this product!

I love this book. I received the paperback version as a gift for my new camera. It's well written and covers all the myriad of camera features and general photography information in great detail. It covers not just how to use the various features, but also why and when to use them. Most of it is very understandable. I subsequently purchased the Kindle version to use as a reference while travelling.

No better than the manual except the writing is slightly more simplified and the print is bigger - but the D5500 is a complex machine and this makes it much easier to navigate and use to go good work. Highly Recommended!

It had a lot of details and for the most part was easy to read. I was starting from scratch so I wished there was a bit more information on what certain things were, but I liked it and found it to be very helpful.

Logically laid out, beginning with the necessities first. This is much more pleasant to read than the manual which came with the camera. Quite a bit of color photographic images are contained in the book. Written in conversational style. Also serves as a good reference manual. This is what I was looking for.

Good read to understand the camera and to what all futures it has

A good manual for this complex camera. It helps if you have some basic camera knowledge to begin with. If you don't take some basic camera classes to help you get started with a camera of this type and then you'll be able to make good use of the manual .

Very informative! Tons of helpful hints!!!

I'm learning my D5500 page by page. So far, I've found this book well laid out and easy to follow. Really making a difference in how well and how fast I'm figuring out how to take great photos with this camera. Very happy I bought this!

Great book, but still too technical for this dummy! Do they make a dummies book for "Super Dummies, like me???

As usual, ( d3100) Julie doesn't let us down.... very thorough through out, & an excellent index @ back which I am still using!

great publication, tells you so many things that the factory book doesn't have or cover, there's just a wealth of info and data to absorb. I have a couple of other publications and enjoy and refer to them often.

I purchased this book for download on my Fire for easy access instead of carrying the paperback. It only deserves a 3 star because the download did not include the Index. The index is important for quickly finding specific material while in the field. Very disappointed.

This book is easier to read and follow than the product supplied manual. Good value for the price. I am glad I purchased this book.

As a beginner in photography, this is just what I needed. The instruction manual that comes with the camera doesn't cover a small fraction of what this book covers.

Since the camera did not come with printed instructions, Nikon D5500 for Dummies is especially appreciated - much easier than loading the CD whenever one needs an answer - not to mention more readily available. Even had I wanted to print the approximately 400 pages, Nikon D5500 for Dummies is easier to understand.

Love this book. It has cleared up the mystery for me about many camera issues, speed, fstops, lighting, subject positioning and mnore

Great book I always purchase when getting a new camera the manual that comes withe camera to hard to understand.

Such a great easy book to understand the basics. I love that it is camera specific so you can understand the camera inside and out. Will post the results later!

Very helpful

have used the Dummies books for decades. They are most appropriate for ME. I can generally find anything I need to utilized the item or programs for which they are designed and written.

Perfect gift for my friends, and easy to understand. Please purchase this and you will be miles ahead in knowledge!!

Great book for anyone that owns a D5500

Great book, with a ton of information and great color pictures to help me to learn all of the features for my new camera. This is a must have book for anyone trying to learn all of the feature the new DSLR's come with.

If you own a Nikon D5500, this is for you. Do not let the book name fool you as this is not for "Dummies". I consider this a book for people who want to understand the full camera functions with easier terminology and photos! The read is super easy and it does in fact make you able to comprehend all the features of the camera. What is also super nice about this book is how it combines an overall DSL Camera use lesson. They cover the various prongs of photography, give tips-suggestions and go into enough detail for a beginning to intermediate user to benefit. Bottom line here... What good is having an expensive camera if you do not know how to use all the features or take full advantage of it?

It’s a basic book, just like it states; but helpful if you are new to manual controls.

I have learned more from this book than from book that was with camera

I am so glad I purchased this book with the camera. Excellent book for a beginner like me. I'm only through the first couple of chapters, but thumbing through it, I believe there is excellent information for the experienced/advanced photographer as well.

A lot of good information!

Reading this now. Typical Dummies book. Recommend

Recommended - to get the most out of a great entry level DSLR camera.

Very Help full information for first time photographers.

Excellent book. It is teaching me much about the features and usage of my D5500 camera. I would highly recommend it.

This book is a must purchase if you are planning to purchase the Nikon D5500. I love my camera and I wouldn't even know how to work it if it wasn't for this book.

An excellent roadmap for getting the most from this device.

No better than the manual except the writing is slightly more simplified and the print is bigger - but the D5500 is a complex machine and this makes it much easier to navigate and use to go good work. Highly Recommended!

It had a lot of details and for the most part was easy to read. I was starting from scratch so I wished there was a bit more information on what certain things were, but I liked it and found it to be very helpful.

Logically laid out, beginning with the necessities first. This is much more pleasant to read than the manual which came with the camera. Quite a bit of color photographic images are contained in the book. Written in conversational style. Also serves as a good reference manual. This is what I was looking for.

This is an excellent book for acquiring a working knowledge of the Nikon D5500 along with some basic principles related to the fundamentals of photography. I highly recommend it.

Great condition

Good book to get the basics and learn the functions of the D5500. Keep it on the Kindle app on my phone for quick reference.

the book is GREATTTTT !!!! lots of color photographs.........great addition to the original book you get with the camera..........yes i would buy from the seller again..........thanks guys

i like it

We are still using this book but have been happy so far with it. Some of the areas don't explain it as much as I need it too but it is a huge help.

This book saved my life while I was out of the country with a new camera. It is easy to follow and contained a large amount of useful of information without being overwhelming.

A must for learning the features of the Nikon D5500. The author does a great job of explaining the features, which features are most useful and how to maximize the value of the investment in a D5500.

This is an easy read for a beginner photographer. The instructions and explanations with pictures, allow for quick changes to my D5500 to enhance photo taking. It's a great reference for better photo taking and understanding my camera. I'm glad I bought this book.

Bought this book to accompany the purchase of the camera for my granddaughter. It is her go to manual when she has a question. She loves it..

Very easy to understand and helpful. This book is great for someone who just bought the D5500 and wants to learn and understand how to operate it.

Did a lot of photography 30 years ago with a SLR. Got interested in doing architectural and outdoor sculptures. Purchased a Nikon D5500, it was amazing and also overwhelming at the same time. So Nikon D5500 for Dummies. First I tried to use it as a reference just looking for specific I needed at the time. Still was not getting the results I wanted and knew the camera could produce. So I started on page one, set my camera on a tripod next to my desk and got in to school/training mode going step by step. I can not tell you how easy and fast my proficiency has developed. After I feel I have master the concepts I go out and shot to reinforce and develop my skill. really a great learning tool.

As a technical writer I can attest that Julie is a good communicator. The book is well laid out with plenty of helpful illustrations and explanations. Very logical organization with cross referencing and detailed index. It is my bible for learning about my D5500 camera. Highly recommended!

I received a Nikon D5500 for Christmas and I wanted to learn all the features and benefits of the camera and this is the book to teach me. In typical "for Dummies" fashion, this book is very detailed and it covers every question you could possibly have and then some. Not only does it cost all the features and functions of the camera but it also covers the proper settings for the type of image you're trying to capture. It goes also covers many terms that most beginners would have little to no knowledge of. I have a much better appreciation for the art of photography, and trust me, is truly an art.

I have had a D60 for about 10yrs. ...finally saw the D5500 at a price I could afford. I started working with it and realized this is similar...but does so much more....so I quickly ordered this book...this book was laid out well, and a huge help ....my only complaint with this book is , it would help to put some numbers in a few examples, instead of 'it depends on.....' Some basic info ...would help get started . Example: when shooting in low light , how slow and aperture speed can you use? ...no info ....I found that the experts say to start at no less then 1/60 sec. So at least I had a place to start... Otherwise, the book was great, and I still use it as I try other , more advanced processes.

Being a professional photographer myself, this book is a must have to anyone enjoying the wonders of the D5500 series! It provides excellent guidance as to every possible mode you could ever think of. The manufacturer's manual is nothing compared to the abundance of information that this extraordinary guide provides! You will not be disappointed whatsoever!!!! I highly recommend this product!

I love this book. I received the paperback version as a gift for my new camera. It's well written and covers all the myriad of camera features and general photography information in great detail.

Ms. King's book is comprehensive and easy to follow. It reveals a complete picture of the Nikon 5500's attributes and helps the user to grasp its range of capabilities.

Great book

Good book. I use it as a reference.

This is my permanent camera bible! It is so complete and easy to understand!

A must , (if you do not know a lot about manual photography. Well thought out instructions for anyone wanting to get the most out of their camera.

Just what I needed to get started!

Great reference resource. I have both paper and the Kindle versions. I like the kindle because you can search for specific topics.

This has come in handy for quick learning!

Super helpful. I'm using this and a dvd course to help me learn all my new camera can do. It's well written and easy to read.

A fantastic book. Easy to follow steps. A must have.

New digital cameras are complex and offer hundreds of features that can be difficult to master. However, this book provides step-by-step instructions and explanations that are easy to understand and unlike some "how to" books, this book does not assume you know anything about the camera so it doesn't leave out steps or information which are critical to helping you to master this wonderful camera. I've bought Julie Adair King's books before and have always been totally pleased by they detail they provide with plenty of color photographs/illustrations to make everything she is discussing clear. Can't recommend this book highly enough if you're trying to master the Nikon D5500!!!

It is a very good reference book for this camera.

Very good overall on the basics of the D5500 -- actually has a few tips that can be used for other cameras. I returned the camera (lenses/system too bulky for my needs) but I kept the book!

Easy to understand and images to help walk you through the steps.

This has been very useful to me . . . I'm relearning on a new digital SLR.

Great addition to your owners manual.

Very easy to read and understand.

Helpful

This is an outstanding product and I highly recommend it.

Good book to get if you own a d5500!

Thank you for this book. It is great and very helpfl

This book is great for the complete beginner as well as someone with a little experience. I love the Dummies series and this book is no exception. The author provides great information, perfect examples (as well as pictures demonstrating what she is talking about), and some real world skills. There are SO many settings and options on this camera, let alone options for photography in general. This book provides a wonderful bridge to bring the two together harmoniously. We were taking even better shots after one night of reading this book.

Excellent book. I'm only in the 3rd chapter, but directions are very clear.

Great tips and tricks.

easy to follow and apply

Excellent book

What a great help

Very cool book, I highly recommend this to anyone just starting out with this particular camera

In learning a ton!!

great

Excellent in every respect. Highly recommended.

This is a must-have to go with that boring and dry camera manual that doesn't teach you anything. All the basics are covered as well as advanced functions. I referred to this book constantly while I have my camera out and I learned something new every time I pick up the camera. Lots of color illustrations. Great for the beginner or the advanced photographer.

I really like this book, is on a plain language essay to read and understand the basics

Great primer easy to understand.

I was an avid amateur film photographer until the turn of the century. Not sure why I took a 15 year hiatus, but I did. When I decided to start up again, I opted to go digital and faced a quite steep learning curve. Nikon D5500 was written with people like me in mind. It spoon feeds the digital novice and remains in my library as a much referred to resource. If you are new to the digital world and just purchased a Nikon D5500, this book is worth every penny.

Well written book with easy to understand instructions. Everything you need to know to get the most out of your camera.

Great book!!!

Very helpful

Great book better then I expected

Very clear and concise. Fun to read

Very in-depth explanation of the camera and how to use it and written so a professional or a beginner will benefit from the information. This book covers all aspects of photo taking and this was a great item to get to accompany my camera.

So, so, so, SO much better than the manual my camera came with! I would be utterly lost without this guide! I want to get into photography, but I knew I really needed to learn how to use my camera before I could start taking any classes or read any other books. Trying to read through the manual my camera came with was a tedious, boring task that was making me lose interest more than anything else. I hated feeling like I was wasting my time, and not fully grasping what it was telling me, it felt like being in math class all over again, with a teacher droning on about what we'd be doing that week. . . I got this book after I spent 3 days trying to get through the manual and found myself unable to concentrate on it for more than 6 minutes at a time. . . I have ADD and I really need something I can visually practice with in order to learn, I need to be shown, not told, and I need it to be engaging and interactive, this book is! It takes you step through step and has you working with your camera as it explains what to do. I love it! It even starts to get into how to take really good pictures, and video, which is an added bonus my manual never mentioned! If you have a D5500, you need this book, end of story.

Detailed for dummies like me! I'm slowly making my way through the book. It has given me knowledge about cameras and the art if photography that I never knew existed. Definitely a must buy when you get a new camera!

the book (owners manual) that comes with the camera leaves too much out, this book will make you an expert. My only complaint, it took 30 days for it to get here......that is really unacceptable

I purchased the kindle version of this so that it would be easier to navigate and pull up information on my phone if needed whilst im out shooting. The problem is that this does NOT have a table of contents on the side like every other digital kindle book I own! I see this as a fatal flaw because what if I want to skip ahead or go to a specific section of the book without having to go through each page? UGH kind of want a refund. Terrible.

Lots of great information on taking pictures in all kinds of situations. Very informative and written in a very comprehensible way!

Very easy to follow. Am not a novice photographer, but this book really helps with this particular camera.

It simplifies all the information and goes into more detail. Great Book

It was well written and easy to understand. I am very satisfied with it. EDA

Wife loved the book. Provided detailed user friendly usage tips.

I started working with it and realized this is similar...but does so much more....so I quickly ordered this book...this book was laid out well, and a huge help ....my only complaint with this book is , it would help to put some numbers in a few examples, instead of 'it depends on.....' Some basic info ...would help get started . Example: when shooting in low light , how slow and aperture speed can you use? ...no info ....I found that the experts say to start at no less then 1/60 sec. So at least I had a place to start... Otherwise, the book was great, and I still use it as I try other , more advanced processes.

Being a professional photographer myself, this book is a must have to anyone enjoying the wonders of the D5500 series! It provides excellent guidance as to every possible mode you could ever think of. The manufacturer's manual is nothing compared to the abundance of information that this extraordinary guide provides! You will not be disappointed whatsoever!!!! I highly recommend this product!

I love this book. I received the paperback version as a gift for my new camera. It's well written and covers all the myriad of camera features and general photography information in great detail. It covers not just how to use the various features, but also why and when to use them. Most of it is very understandable. I subsequently purchased the Kindle version to use as a reference while travelling.

No better than the manual except the writing is slightly more simplified and the print is bigger - but the D5500 is a complex machine and this makes it much easier to navigate and use to go good work. Highly Recommended!

It had a lot of details and for the most part was easy to read. I was starting from scratch so I wished there was a bit more information on what certain things were, but I liked it and found it to be very helpful.

Logically laid out, beginning with the necessities first. This is much more pleasant to read than the manual which came with the camera. Quite a bit of color photographic images are contained in the book. Written in conversational style. Also serves as a good reference manual. This is what I was looking for.

Great book for anyone starting out fresh with this great camera

Books for Dummies are always good, This one is no different, Thanks

Lots of good info in this book!

You Tube has more info and at no charge. This is nice to have but, a repeat of everything available.

Still reading and learning.

BIG help!

good book

Very informative

gave as gift

Good guide to learn how to use this camera

Very easy to understand and helpful. This book is great for someone who just bought the D5500 and wants to learn and understand how to operate it.

Did a lot of photography 30 years ago with a SLR. Got interested in doing architectural and outdoor sculptures. Purchased a Nikon D5500, it was amazing and also overwhelming at the same time. So Nikon D5500 for Dummies. First I tried to use it as a reference just looking for specific I needed at the time. Still was not getting the results I wanted and knew the camera could produce. So I started on page one, set my camera on a tripod next to my desk and got in to school/training mode going step by step. I can not tell you how easy and fast my proficiency has developed. After I feel I have master the concepts I go out and shot to reinforce and develop my skill. really a great learning tool.

As a technical writer I can attest that Julie is a good communicator. The book is well laid out with plenty of helpful illustrations and explanations. Very logical organization with cross referencing and detailed index. It is my bible for learning about my D5500 camera. Highly recommended!

It goes also covers many terms that most beginners would have little to no knowledge of. I have a much better appreciation for the art of photography, and trust me, is truly an art.

Very good

Great book.

Needs to be more concise.

Cool book

easy to read and use. good condition. few little dings in the cover on arrival.

I like the book, but there are others I like much better. It is a good reference for me to use. If not a bit wordy.

For Dummies for sure....

Not very helpful.

Easy reading.

Great Product!! A++

This book (as you would expect) takes the camera's supplied manual and translates it into a comprehensive, logical, easy to read and very understandable set of instructions. I use it for reference (though once I've got enough experience/practice with the camera, it'll be less used) and it's full of tips and hints. I would strongly recommend it for new, and experienced users of this model of the camera.

I have been a keen amateur snapper for about 55 years, and feel confident on most occasions but this book has explained in nice simple terms the many buttons and how to use the many sub menu's. A brilliant book.

If you bought a D5500 and haven't a clue past full auto then this is a really good guide. However I still can't take better pictures in manual than full auto - but I know how to try. I guess I need to practice.

Great reference book, used as needed not read from cover to cover. Easily explains all controls and menus.

This book is a treasure of information and hints about my Nikon D5500. I don't use my camera daily and didn't know all its features, and how to use it, but this book helped me improve my photo skill, and it still does. Its a lot to learn for a novice like me, and having a book like this to turn to is great.

Great book, and helped a lot in explaneing the way to use the D5500 camera. Pity its a paperback, the pages come loose!!

Excellent comprehensive well written guidance. All you need to know.

Very easy to understand and helpful. This book is great for someone who just bought the D5500 and wants to learn and understand how to operate it.

This book is not for Dummies! Using the ‘Dummies’ branding is misleading to a new consumer like me. Won’t be in a hurry to buy anything labeled this way again. Find this book way too ponderous to even get started with this camera. Don’t really believe that the person that put this book together even owned a Nikon camera! Wish I had saved my money and enrolled in a class at my local camera shop.
