The first three chapters of this book will take care of that. The first step is to familiarize yourself with your camera. All you need is this book and some practice. Wasn’t that easy?īut if you purchased this book, you’re probably not going to be satisfied with pretty good photos.

Presto! A pretty good picture will pop up on the color LCD on the back of the camera. Point the D90 at something interesting and press the shutter release.

Remove the lens cap, turn the camera on (the buttons concentric with the shutter release button), and then set the big ol’ dial on the top-left edge to the green AUTO icon. Charge the battery and insert it into the camera. Insert a memory card and mount the lens (if you bought the D90 at a store, they probably did that for you). Because the D90 had just been introduced, there was enough of a maintenance charge in the fresh-off-the-boat battery to allow capturing a few images on the spot, even before the ink on my check was dry. I remembered to take a memory card with me when I picked up the camera. As a long-time Nikon owner, I could have purchased just the D90 body (sans lens), but the new 18-105mm kit lens with vibration reduction (anti-shake) was too tempting, so I got that. Although the Nikon D90 may be your first exposure to some advanced features-particularly Live View or movie-making-Nikon has retained enough “turn it on and shoot” ease of operation that you can, with about 60 seconds’ worth of prep, go out and begin taking great pictures.Īs is my custom, my first photo with this camera was a snapshot of the owner of the photo store where I bought my D90.
