Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Pocketbook: camera field guide

This booklet is an excellent introduction to the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera. The author, Nina Bailey, knows her stuff as she is a contributor to the British publication: EOS magazine.She gives an overview of all operating controls and explains how to use them!For the "shooter" who wants to start quickly with this camera, THIS is the book!

Certainly is a pocket guide. 40 tiny pages IF you count the back cover. Not much here that with a little research you can easily get on the internet.Way too much much $$$ for what you get. Someone else here said a ‘pamphlet,’ wish I’d of listened.

This provides a brief explanation of the most commonly used functions of the camera. It does not provide an account as to when or why most of these options should be used but it is limited by its length. It would be useful if you not familiar with this model of camera but are with other make/models of DSLRs. For instance I have an old 5D Mk2 and it’s sufficiently different to justify this book’s purchase.There are other much longer books that cover this camera and it’s functions in a lot more detail but they have roughly 10 times it’s number of pages!

Easy to understand the functions of the camera.

as i have never had a canon camera before this book was very helpful in getting used to the controls etc.well laid out and clear.100%

I would have preferred something a little more comprehensive. Apart from custom modes I think that I am aware of all the information provided but it may be a useful reference when forgetfulness sets in.

I found this expensive for such a thin booklet as are the same guides for speedlights by the same author
