Full-color photos and easy to read. *by K***R on March 20, 2011* This book was really helpful to me. It covers in excellent detail all of the features of the camera. The full-color photos are essential and greatly beneficial. I have not once thought, "I don't understand," while reading. The entire book has been really easy to follow, even for a beginner. The topic arrangement of the book is nice too.The first five chapters are designed to get you familiar with the controls, buttons and features and also to get you started shooting using auto modes. This may sound straight forward, but there is alot of camera terminology that I didn't know before this book that is essential to understanding even basic controls. This book does a great job at explaining these terms in clear, everyday language. Even better, there is just enough repetition to remind you of things without being annoying.The remaining chapters deal with advanced shooting modes. I haven't gotten to this part (I'm currently on Chap. 5), but I am assuming that it is just as good as the rest of the book. It should be noted, however, that I've ready 130ish pages already and I want to finish the rest. It is an easy-to-read, enjoyable book.One thing this books doesn't do is discuss photography in general. It doesn't, for instance, go into color theory. I'm glad it doesn't; that would be way too much all at once! It is intended to introduce you to the camera, not the art of photography. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy read and hits all the different aspects of photography with this camera *by W***G on March 27, 2014* I have been very impressed with this book. I have been an SLR photographer for some time, but recently jumped into the DSLR game and bought a Nikon D3100. While some of it was fairly intuitive out of the box, there was much more the camera was capable of and the owners manual was not the most easily understood aid. While the D3100 does an excellent job as a high end point and shoot, I prefer to shoot entirely manually where I have full creative control over the images. This book covers all the automatic settings (and there are several on this camera) but it manual photography and the author gives her tips on the best way to configure the camera given the particular type of subject matter you are shooting. She also illustrates all her main points with pictures so you can see how the different settings impact the pictures. I have loved reading this book and really learning to use all the capabilities of the D3100. In fact, I recently purchased a Canon EOS T-3 for my wife and she is currently reading the EOS T-3 for Dummies book by the same author and she really likes it.Whether you are a seasoned photographer or just a point-and-shooter wanting to become a little more creative with your DSLR, these books are great and I very highly recommend them. They will certainly up your game. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nikon D3100 for DUMMIES - a great accessory for your camera! *by C***N on May 13, 2013* This well-written book with its easy-to-follow, pictured instructions is the BEST investment yet to understanding my D3100! This is my first dSLR camera; though I'm familiar with Nikon Cool-pix point-and-shoot cameras. When Nikon eliminated viewfinders from the point-and-shoot line of cameras, I made the switch, with some trepidation, to a dSLR to get a viewfinder! The camera produces fantastic photos using automatic settings (as this book points out). While reading through this book I realized that further exploration of my camera's capabilities would be FUN! With the help of this awesome book and the author's teaching-style explanations I've come to understand terms such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, metering. Thanks to this often fun-to-read book, my photos are now taken using AUTO, as well as P(rogram), S(hutter speed), A(perture), and even a few M(anual) settings. This book will be my long-time guide/reference to unveiling my camera's potential!I'd enthusiastically recommend this book! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2598162-nikon-d3100-for-dummies-paperback-december-21-2010](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2598162-nikon-d3100-for-dummies-paperback-december-21-2010) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
