for the Fuji FinePix Pro S2.
This book
helps you master the use of the Fuji S2 digital SLR, with a full description
of the camera features and lots of useful tips and background information.
This is the book that should have been the manual! Destined to be a classic.
A must-read book for any S2 user.
- S2
metering and autofocus modes explained in plain English! Wonder
what the matrix metering pattern looks like and how it works? Can't
figure out Dynamic autofocus, Release Priority, Focus Priority, Closest
Focus Priority, and a host of other terms used to describe features
of the focusing system? Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Fuji FinePix
Pro S2 explains these terms and accompanying techniques in the same
simple, no-nonsense language that made his Nikon
Field Guide a best seller.
- A complete
instruction manual and an introduction to relevant digital issues
in one book! Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Fuji FinePix
Pro S2 manages to not only fully describe every feature of the S2
in clear, easy-to-understand language, but gives you rich, technical
background for many of the critical issues that confront digital camera
users.
- Includes
useful Depth of Field spreadsheet! You'll also receive Thom's Excel
spreadsheet, which allows you to calculate depth of field and hyperfocal
distance for any Nikon lens. But that's not everything! You'll also
get Excel workbooks of macro, flash, and other calculators (know how
to calculate the GN of multiple flashes or the effective GN when bouncing?
You will if buy this book!).

Alternative
Ordering Method:
I currently
accept checks and money orders in US dollars from US citizens ($34.90),
bank drafts in US dollars from International customers (US$39.90). These
should be made out to Thom Hogan and sent to:

PO Box 811
Emmaus, PA 18049
Please note
that when I'm out teaching workshops, I have no way to check for orders
sent this way, so in some cases there can be a two-week delay. I'm teaching
fewer workshops in 2003, so this will
be less of a problem than usual, though.
When you
order by mail, please include your full shipping address, the eBook you're
ordering, and an email address (I use it to send order confirmations).

Note:
If you purchase an Fuji S2 Pro that was officially imported into the United
States and send in your registration card (or register online at www.s2ebookoffer.com),
you will eventually receive a FREE copy of the first edition of Thom
Hogan's Complete Guide to the Fuji FinePix Pro S2 directly from Fuji.
If you own a US imported S2, please don't order the book from me unless
you want a copy immediately or want an extra copy. I will not
refund your money when you get your book from Fuji, nor can I tell
you how long it will take to get it. Also, because I won't have your name
in my data files, and because I receive so little money per copy from
FujiFilm, I won't be able to offer updates or replacement disks
