Introduction

Throw away your cheat-sheets and command cards! Are you tired of squinting at tiny color-coded tables on fold-out camera cards? Do you wish you had the most essential information extracted from my comprehensive David Busch’s Canon EOS 60D Guide to Digital SLR Photography in a size you could tuck away in your camera bag? I’ve condensed the basic reference material you need in this handy, lay-flat book, David Busch’s Compact Field Guide for the Canon EOS 60D. In it, you’ll find the explanations of why to use each setting and option—information that is missing from the cheat-sheets and the book packaged with the camera. You won’t find the generic information that pads out the other compact guides. I think you’ll want to have both this reference and my full-sized guide—one to help you set up and use your Canon 60D, and the other to savor as you master the full range of things this great camera can do.
