Unlike classes and workshops, these DVDs let you explore your camera at your own pace and review topics whenever you want.

Each DVD in the series is produced specifically for ONE camera model. These are not one-size-fits-all instructional DVDs about general photography.

Magic Lantern's unique training method starts with basic concepts and then moves on to thoroughly cover advanced features using clear and concise examples that will give you the confidence you need to master your camera and start taking great photos. If you aren't satisfied with just picking up your digital SLR and shooting on automatic mode you need the Magic Lantern DVD.

Each DVD is organized into 10 chapters for easy reference and covers virtually everything there is to know about YOUR CAMERA; with a full description of all the camera's features, buttons, controls, menus, and plenty of useful tips and real-world examples. You'll quickly learn about custom menu settings, metering modes, exposure modes, white balance techniques, ISO pitfalls, flash photography, exposure lock, playback functions, RAW vs. JPEG, formatting memory cards, choosing image quality settings, exposure compensation, and much more. If it's important, these DVDs cover it.

Whether you're an experienced photographer or a beginner, these DVDs will have you shooting like a pro with your new camera in no time at all.
