Nikon D60 Users

The latest in Nikon’s entry-level SLR offerings, the new  D-60 has become a very popular option for first-time SLR users wishing to upgrade from their point and shoots. Providing a full 10 megapixels and a high-resolution 2.5 inch screen for viewing, the D-60 has many of the same features as its much more expensive siblings, such as a new EXPEED processor, a 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, a dust reduction system, an advanced 3-Area AF system, image optimization options. In-Camera Image Editing and Enhanced Retouch Menu, and a very welcome 500 images per battery charge. It is sold with  an 18-55mm vibration reduction lens.

This Safari will help D-60 users put their cameras through the paces of ISO settings, flash settings, white balance settings and sub-settings, file compression, aperture and shutter priorities, focus settings, custom settings, menu navigation tricks, exposure tricks, use of the histogram etc. menu shortcuts inside and outside of the new National Museum of the American Indian. Special exhibits at the museum pose unique challenges for the digital photographer, especially the mix of daylight and tungsten light. The eight-story high atrium is a great place to practice wide-angle photography, and the carvings and statues provide challenges for your telephoto lens.
