Nikon D3500 Pocket Guide: Buttons, Dials, Settings, Modes, and Shooting Tips (The Pocket Guide Series for Photographers): 17

this is a pocket guide and is packed with useful and helpful information and tips.

I have two other by the same publisher, one for my D500 and one for my D850. They don't take up any room in my camera bag and they are a great reference guide for technical questions, for very high tech cameras... They are a must have in your camera bag.

I thought this would be a good little item to keep in my camera bag but I do not recommend it. It has very little information and what it does have is crudely put together and presented. For some unknown reason there are little numbered tabs sticking out of the bottom of many of the pages. There are four tabs that say "02," five that say "03", three that say "04," and four that say "05." There seems to be no use or explanation for these tabs but they are a real annoyance in trying to read this book. I would just recommend that no one buy this book. Instead, buy "Nikon D3500 for Dummies" which is a very excellent and well written book in spite of the cutesy title.

While this pocket guide is nicely designed and covers the features and functions of the Nikon D3500, I discovered a serious error. Section two, item three on page 4 describes adjusting the Diopter Dial and instructs the reader to "pull out and turn to adjust the diopter in the viewfinder". This dial DOES NOT pull out and to do so with any degree of force will likely result in damage to the camera. I have not found any Nikon (D3500) literature that supports this procedure. Nikon simply says to rotate the diopter left or right to make your adjustment.I'm rather disappointed with Rocky Nook.
