Landscape Mode. It says large aperture. Should be small aperture. |

These sections state that a "large aperture" creates a large depth of field, keeping everything in focus. But I believe this is incorrect. A "small aperture" would accomplish this. To reinforce this point, please refer to p.76, the second paragraph under the heading of "Open the Aperture". It states "a large aperture gives you a shallow depth of field". Also, on p.115, in the table under "Choose a wide aperture", f2 -> very large aperture -> very shallow depth of field; f16 -> very small aperture -> very deep depth of field. |

"Large Aperture, creating a large depth of field ..." should read "Small Aperture, creating a large depth of field ..." |

Under the heading "Portrait Mode" is the sentence ". . . Large aperture . . .". |

A smaller f-stop gives you a GREATER depth of field. Not smaller = smaller. What the hell is "or maybe not" supposed to mean? I think I may have read this misstatement elsewhere as well, but don't recall exactly where. |

Yhe words "That's full automatic" are in error and should be deleted. Manual mode is not automatic; it's just the opposite. |

Shouldn't it read: "..the M mode, though. That's full manual" rather than full automatic? |

In order for the subsequent TIP to make sense, shouldn't the first sentence of paragraph 3 read: "That hour after sunrise, and the hour before sunset.."? |

Printed | Page 129 Paragraph beginning with the heading "Telephoto" |
In this paragraph it is stated that "Telephoto means 'zoom.' " This is incorrect; not all telephoto lenses are zoom lenses, nor are all zoom lenses telephotos. |

Third sentence:". . . dust lands on the sensor itself - a shiny rectangle, dead center, clearly visible whenever you remove the lens - . . ." |

The last "word" in the last sentence should read f2, not f8. |
Chuck Cressman | Mar 08, 2009 |
Printed | Page 135 note in yellow |
it seems to me that the last sentence of the note should read:The same flash would only reach 10 feet if you closed the aperture down to f8. |
