Brief Scenes

Do you own a NIkon D40x slr digital Camera?

If you do then do you have the Nikon D40 / D40x Laminated Field Reference Card? I am thinking about buying one but I would like to know what kind of information is on it so I am not waisting my money. I already own the Digital Field Guide book but it is to large for my camera bag. Any information you are willing to part with would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can do a couple of things to make your life easier.

Practice at home using your Digital Field Guide and get a feel for the way your camera works … practice until you can control it without a guide by your side.

If you just use your light meter when shooting in the manual mode or choose one of the other modes (automatically exposes based upon aperture, shutter or programed modes).

When I was learning (before I could take some classes) I used to sit in front of the TV and practice composing and exposing (without film in the camera). Since you have a digital camera, you can look at the results of your practice later on your computer.
