Book description
The Fujifilm X100S is a digital camera with a 23mm
fixed prime lens. It is intended for amateurs to semi-professionals
who want a camera that allows them to make great images faster and
with less hassle than any other digital camera.
While the camera manual explains what the camera can do, it
doesn’t show exactly how to use the camera to create great
images! That’s where Fujifilm X100S: From Snapshots to Great
Shots comes in. Starting with the top ten things users need to know
about the camera, author Kevin Mullins carefully guides readers
through the operating features. Readers get practical advice from a
pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and end of
chapter assignments.
From Snapshots to Great Shots is a beautiful how-to photography
series that provides the perfect blend of instruction, inspiration,
and reference for specific camera models and photography concepts.
Featuring a clear, elegant design; outstanding images that educate
and inspire; and a friendly, accessible voice, this series helps
photographers get great shots every time they pick up their
camera.
