Canon launched the PowerShot G12, successor to popular PowerShot G11. The new model includes most of the core features of the G11, and adds an EOS-style front control dial, Hybrid IS for close-up work, and 720p HD video recording. This book is for anyone who wants to get the best shots possible but isn't sure what to do next. There's the manual, as well as competing books, and while they all tell camera owners, often in 400+ pages, what the camera can do, none of them shows them exactly how to use their camera to create great images! Everything in the book is in service of creating a great image. The author carefully guides readers through the modes of the camera and gives practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, shooting tips, and even end of- chapter assignments so readers can test their knowledge.
