Throw away the manual
|
Throw away the little manual that came with your 40D and invest in this instead.
Very well written and can be read from cover to cover unlike a manual. Full of interesting little insights on getting the most from your new camera.
I am on my second reading and I am still discovering little gems.

The pennies have dropped
|
I had attended a training session provided by Canon designed for new owners of 40Ds (and other models); this was a very good course.
The book allowed me to build on what I learned and to make substantial steps forward by providing answers to the questions that I didn't have the knowledge or understanding to ask. If anyone is scheduled for the Canon training I suggest that you make the very modest investment in this book and read it before the course. It is written in a style that makes it very easy to read; I read the entire book at a single sitting. The illustrations are excellent and support the text perfectly. Probably won't be a long-time fixture but at this point in time it is proving to be a perfect companion because I am at the lower end of the learning curve and want to make progress quickly.
It is probably a book for beginners but the value and impact it has had on me in putting the pieces together cannot be overstated; the sound of pennies dropping must have been deafening
