David is one of the best authors for photography and related equipment guides. He provided me the opportunity to review this book and submit feedback prior to publication. It really is a must have for those purchasing the new A7RII or A7II cameras and is chock full of useful information. The auto focus settings are complex with these cameras and David shows how to get the most out of the camera. He covers accessories available for the camera and provides honest opinions on lenses that should be considered for the camera.
I have been a Sony shooter for four years and learn something new about these cameras all the time. This book provides shooting tips and explains in detail all the various settings available for photo and video shooting. Basic and advanced photo and video shooting topics provides useful subject matter for the beginner or most advanced/professional photographers. You will use this publication over and over and the electronic formats are convenient when out in the field and struggling to locate the best settings for your shoot or a specific feature you recall reading about. The Sony operating instructions and help guide are not enough to master the capabilities of these cameras. Do yourself a favor and compliment your camera purchase with this guide that you will frequently reference as you become more familiar with your gear.
