Well, we have come to the end of the first chapter in your new Mastering the Nikon D700 book.

I want to thank you for purchasing this book, and I invite you to contact us with any questions or comments you might have: [email protected]

Also, I hope that you, as a Nikon user, will join the Nikonians organization, the world’s premier Nikon user community. Here you will meet over 170,000 fellow Nikon users, and will be able to join in community discussions about nearly anything Nikon. See this web page for a tour of Nikonians.org and information on how to become a Nikonian: http://www.Nikonians.org/tour1.html

The next eight chapters of this book will give you a very detailed and personal look at each menu in the Nikon D700, as well as virtually every screen in the camera. When you use this book, always have your D700 within reach so that you can immediately apply the things you are reading. If you do that, the information will stick with you longer. Also, keep your User’s Manual close, since I give page numbers for extra reference points.

The Nikon D700 is a very complex camera. It is also my favorite Nikon DSLR by far. If you take the time to learn about the most needed features for your style of photography, the camera will become a tool that allows you to truly bring passion to your photography. I know it did to mine!
