This new e-booklet is geared for the owners of Sony and Minolta digital cameras, and is designed to be a follow-on to the books.  This 73-page, 4 MB .pdf file provides an easy-to-understand discussion of the following topics:  

• Methods for connecting a 3rd-Party Flash (and insights as to which ones will work seamlessly with your camera – it’s not straightforward).
• The “Lazy Eye” syndrome and ways it can be minimized.
• The Basics of Proper Exposure (including some surprising multi-segment metering behavior!)
• Combining Zone Matching and Dynamic Range Optimization (DRO)
• An Incident Light Meter that’s Always With You
• Recovering Poorly-Exposed Images and Expanding Apparent Dynamic Range using RAW
• High-Speed Sync (HSS) at High Speeds (i.e., why do HSS shots look so dark?)
• The Noise about Noise (plus an unintuitive way to reduce it)
• Operating your camera in extremely cold weather.

I used the Minolta A1 during my six-month stay in China, and it is quite a performer. Since then I've purchased its successor, the A2, and I like these cameras so much that I wrote a book about their use!

This book provides a complete photo guide for what I believe are the best digital cameras in their class. "Konica Minolta A1/A2 - A Step by Step Illustrated E-book" explains each feature in plain English and provides a plethora of visual examples as well. Version 2.0 of the book also includes coverage of the new A200 camera as well! In this book you’ll learn:

• What every mode, knob, and button do – in plain, easy-to-understand text.
• The secrets to taking outstanding photos (like the kind you see on the FriedmanArchives.com website).
• All about Minolta’s Wireless Flash – a Minolta invention and still the best in the world.
• The most common digital jargon and what it all means to you.

In this book I try to provide a sense of my "inner game" - I don't just talk about f/stops and shutter speeds, but discuss much of what goes into making a "good" image truly great. Elements of light, composition, and how to get natural-looking pictures of people while traveling the world are discussed. This isn't just an instruction manual - this is a full-fledged mini-course in photography!! The term "e-book" means the text is published electronically and viewable in full color using Adobe Acrobat reader software (which runs on many types of computers, including PC, Mac, and Unix/Linux machines).
