Product Description
Digital SLR cameras come with many controls and settings designed to allow you to make a perfect exposure. But remembering where they are and how the features work together can be daunting.
If you decide to carry the user manual in your bag but finding the answer to your question can be a frustrating experience. That is why Blue Crane Digital developed an abbreviated field reference guide to your digital SLR.
The inBrief reference card is a laminated, foldable guide that answers most camera operation questions quickly and easily. The information is arranged logically for ease of use.
The cover panel of each inBrief displays a labeled line drawing of the camera, and a color-coded index to the rest of the panels. For instance, if you have a question about white balance, just check the index, then turn to the purple panel. An overview of the information on each of the eight panels is listed below:
Cover: Annotated line drawing, General index
Blue: Viewfinder, Control panel, and Monitor displays
Red: Camera functions by exposure mode; Flash information
Lime: Focus; Drive Modes; Self-timer
Yellow: Exposure; Metering; Bracketing
Purple: White balance; ISO; Image size/quality
Orange: Displaying images; Resetting the camera
Green: Custom settings
The inBrief reference card is professionally printed on 10 point card stock, and is laminated on each side for long wear and protection from the elements. When folded, the dimensions are 5.5 by 4.25 inches. It fits neatly into the outside pocket of your camera bag for instant access. Once you have an inBrief, you can leave your manual at home.

 What you need on the go July 1, 2008

This reference card-set measures approx. 5-3/4 by 4-1/4 inches. It is laminated in such a way that the four cards (eight panels in all) fold into a single card. Therefore it fits nicely in the slim "back pocket" found on many camera bags.
Blue Crane has included virtually all the important information found in Nikon's excellent-but-chunky owner's manual. It is organized into seven color-coded sections (one per card): "Viewfinder, Control Panel, Monitor", "Focus, Shooting Modes, Self-timer", "Flash, Mode Dial, Functions", "White Balance, ISO, Image Size/Quality", "Display Images, Reset Controls", "Custom Settings". The front panel is a visual guide to the controls of the camera itself (which is great for me because I can never remember which of the two controls is "Main" or "Sub").
Each panel relies heavily on carefully-chosen screen grabs or tables to provide a surprisingly-exhaustive reference to the functions presented on that panel. I have found in practice that looking at the index (shown in the Amazon illustration at lower right) points me to what I want to do and how to do it very quickly.
I think this card would be most effective for someone who has first read the owner's manual, and possibly a third-party guide as well. (I purchased Nikon D70s/D70 (Magic Lantern Guides) by Simon Stafford when I bought my D70S, and found it helpful.) Once you know your camera, this card will help you find the function that you know is there, somewhere, and find it in time to be useful in the field.

I have used this repeatedly since purchasing it. Very handy, & easy to use. The color coding makes it just that much easier.
