Cengage Course Tech. Book: David Busch's Canon Powershot G12 Guide by David D. Busch

David Busch's Canon Powershot G12 Guide is an easy-to-use book that you can either keep at home or, better yet, toss into your gear bag to have when you're out shooting. It covers all the relevant information you need to use your G12 - features, functions, buttons, and capabilities.

Not only will it explain what the camera does, but it will explain when, where and why you should use each feature. The book lies flat when open so you won't have to waste one hand trying to read a page. Topics covered include formats, resolution, aperture/priority exposure, and automatic exposure features.
