As we all shoot different subjects and have preferences as to metering modes on different shoots , there are a lot of questions as to which is the best setting for each. I use Photoshop in post production; my settings will be different than yours if you do not use a powerful post software. I shoot fast moving subjects; my settings will be different than yours if you shoot landscapes. I basically shoot a Nikon D3X and D3 but help my brother with his D300. These are powerful tools you don't want to randomly mess-around with when you determine your best settings. I wasted two weeks playing around with possibilities on my three awesome factory default-set cameras, only to be more confused in the end. I even found a reviewer online named "Ken X" who's suggestions are outlandish! Most photographers don't even know what their own settings are, leaving everything at "default" that Nikon has installed into these powerful machines. As such, you will get wonderful shots, but miss so much more. This book is unbelievably simple and precise to understand, with not only what the settings do, but why, and what is suggested for each metering method. I actually recommended reading through the Nikon manual on my website, which is a vague start and takes a lot of guesswork on your part, but I'm going to change that recommendation to "Read the Magic Lantern" books by photographer Simon Stafford. You won't learn this information in the field or in school. My circle of friends include many retired Cinematographers who are still stuck on film because they don't understand digital until they see it in action. Even they need to rethink how digital works compared to the old film days. Finally, not everyone has the years of working in Photoshop that others may have; this is a big drawback as all shooting needs post production. The Dark Room is still as important today as it ever was, but it's in the camera settings. I'm sharing a treasure of information with you if you're really into photography and not merely shooting snapshots, though there is nothing wrong with that. Mary Ann ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this much better than the factory manual. It gives some quick tips based on author's experience. Invaluable Information! *by ***P on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018* I bought my D300 used with no manual. I bought this manual and shipped it from Britain for 6 or 7 dollars shipping included! Arrived in great shape and answered all my questions.I also have one for my D80, so I knew what I was getting. Very informative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely helpful manual! *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2018* Though this is not the owners manual, it is so much better! This book offers helpful ideas for shooting pictures and explains how different options on the camera affect your photos. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/43641854-magic-lantern-guides-nikon-d300](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/43641854-magic-lantern-guides-nikon-d300) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
