copy autographed by the author. Note that traditional publishers felt the installed base of the a99 II didn't justify a conventional book, but I love this camera so much I elected to publish it at my own expense.  Although similar guides have been published in black-and-white versions at much higher prices, I felt that serious photographers deserved a full-color book.  That was only possible by converting directly from the ebook version, so there is no index in this Print on Demand book. However, a detailed table of contents should help you find the information you need. Hiring a professional indexer would have significantly raised the price of the book, and most readers have said they'd prefer color Print on Demand hard copies.  If you feel you
must
use an index rather than browse the Table of Contents use the Kindle or PDF version instead, which allows you to search for specific content that is presented in context.
In a few short years, Sony has gone from being a Nikon and Canon competitor to an acknowledged innovator with a lineup of cameras that are smaller, lighter, faster to focus, and loaded with cutting-edge features that many of us have been dreaming about. So, it's no wonder you're excited about your new Sony a99 II, a powerful camera with professional features, including an improved sensor, rugged body, and Ultra High Definition 4K video. With all these features at your disposal, you don't expect to take good pictures with such a camera -- you demand and anticipate
outstanding photos
.
However, your gateway to pixel proficiency is dragged down by the limited instructions provided by Sony. Over the years, Sony has reduced the amount of useful information included in its printed guidebooks, often to a scant few pages, and relegated more detailed instructions to online HTML-based guides and PDF versions that are difficult to navigate. And, sad to say, not everything you need to know is included.
What you really need is a guide that explains the purpose and function of the cameras' basic controls, how you should use them, and why. That's what I am giving you in this book. If you want a quick introduction to focus controls or which exposure modes are best, this book is for you. If you can't decide on what basic settings to use with your camera because you can't figure out how changing ISO or white balance or focus defaults will affect your pictures, you need this guide.
