It often happens that you see a great photo but can’t recall how to make the camera settings you need to capture it creatively. Even the most professional of photographers can forget rarely used settings and the one you want is often nestled somewhere in a warren of menus. Until recently the only way to look up this information on the spot was to carry the camera’s user guide—unlikely at best! Now, you can have an easy to use camera guide and step-by-step instructions right on your smartphone so it’s with you all the time. With creative settings so convenient you’ll find yourself trying new things and getting more interesting photos.
These Smartphone Field Guides contain only the essential step-by-step instructions you need to change settings. This is because they are cross-referenced to the almost 500 page book The Wonders of Photography—A Resource for Contemporary Photographers. This book explains the "whys" and "whens" of creative techniques while the camera-specific Smartphone Field Guides provide the "how" by showing you step-by-step how to set your camera to use the techniques you are learning. For example, in the book you learn what a technique such as exposure compensation is used for and when it’s needed. In the accompanying Smartphone Field Guide for your own camera you see step-by-step how to make the settings that make your photo lighter or darker.

The Creative Technique Finder is a check list of creative issues you may encounter and the techniques you can use to get the results you want. For example, if reducing blur is the issue this guide suggests selecting a faster shutter speed, increasing the ISO and adding flash.
