Editorial Review:

The Nikon D300 comes with many controls and settings that allow you to capture the perfect exposure. Remembering where they are and exactly how they work together is a difficult, if not impossible task.

You can carry the user manual in your bag, but it s over one hundred pages long. Finding the answer to your question can be a frustrating experience.

The inBrief camera reference card is a laminated, foldable guide that answers most camera operation questions quickly and easily. The information is arranged logically so you can find the answer to you question in the shortest time possible.

Each inBrief card shows an annotated line drawing of the camera and an index to the information on the other panels. If you have a question about white balance, simply look at the purple panel. Answers to custom settings are always on the green panel.

The inBrief card has laminated hinges so the card lies flat. When folded, the dimensions are 5.5 inches by 4.25 inches. It fits neatly in the outside pocket of your camera bag for instant access.

Each card is subdivided into eight subjects across twelve color-coded panels. An overview of the information on each panel is listed below.

Teal: Annotated line drawing and general index
Blue: Viewfinder, Control panel, and Monitor displays
Red: Camera functions by exposure mode and flash information
Lime: Focus, Drive Modes, and Self-Timer
Yellow: Exposure, Metering, Bracketing
Purple: White Balance, ISO, Image Size / Quality
Orange: Displaying Images, Resetting the camera, Live View
Green: Custom Settings
 

Each card is professionally printed on 10 point card stock and laminated on each side for long wear and protection from the elements. Once you have an inBrief, you can leave your manual at home.

This Works:

YOU WANT THIS.
After you've read the Nikon book (if you can actually get through it), and after you've read whatever manual or Field Guide you purchase in addition -- Magic Lantern, Thomas, whoever, you'll want to have this with you.
It fits in your pocket, it fits in your camera bag, it fits in your vest. It lets you know where every function is on the menus and on the camera. YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THIS and you can't carry the Field Guides out in the field.
Come on People, its not that... more info
