With the release of Photographer’s Guide to the Leica D-Lux (Typ 109), White Knight Press provides a complete guide to the use of this advanced compact camera. The book shows beginning and intermediate photographers how to capture excellent images and video sequences with the D-Lux. The book explains the camera’s controls for autofocus, manual focus, aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, white balance, and ISO, as well as many other settings. The book also discusses the D-Lux’s numerous options for playback, setup, and customizing the operation of its various buttons and other controls.

 

The book contains more than 350 color photographs showing the camera’s controls, display screens, and menus. The book includes examples of photographs taken using the creative settings of the camera, including the Photo Style settings; the Filter button picture effects, which provide the ability to customize the appearance of images in dramatic ways; and the camera’s features for continuous shooting and shooting in high-contrast lighting conditions.

 

The book also includes a full discussion of the video recording abilities of the D-Lux camera, which offers manual control of exposure and focus during movie recording, and which provides ultra-high definition 4K recording of motion pictures.

 

In three appendices, the book provides information about accessories for the D-Lux, including cases, external flash units, and other items, and includes a list of web sites and other resources for further information. The book includes an appendix with helpful Quick Tips that explain how to take advantage of the camera’s features in the most efficient ways possible.

This popular series of manuals for the Lumix / Leica compact cameras only too rarely offers insights beyond the manufacturer's instructions, which is too bad since the author clearly knows how to use the camera to its best advantage.
