This book, by Alexander S. White, is a complete guide to the operation and features of the Nikon Coolpix B700 digital camera. The book explains all shooting modes, menus, functions, and controls of this superzoom camera in clear language, accompanied by more than 350 full-color illustrations and sample photographs.

The book explains topics such as autofocus, manual focus, aperture priority, shutter priority, HDR (high dynamic range) photography, ISO, memory cards, and flash modes. The book includes a discussion of techniques for using the camera's phenomenal zoom lens, with a maximum focal length of 1440mm, to full advantage, and explains the benefits of using the camera's Raw format for capturing still images. The book also discusses the camera's features for image transfer and remote control using Nikon's SnapBridge app, which uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks to accomplish these tasks wirelessly.


The book includes sample images taken using the creative settings of the camera, including the Picture Control settings, which alter the color processing of images, and the Scene and Creative shooting modes, with settings optimized for subjects such as landscapes, portraits, pets, sunsets, and action shots.
