Today's Nikon D-SLR and COOLPIX cameras offer photographers a wide variety of features and functions that are designed to help them realize their photographic visions. Learning to use this technology to your advantage takes some education and some practice. So, when faced with all the options and possibilities inherent in a Nikon camera, where does the photographer turn for help?

The camera manual should be the photographer's first choice. It's an excellent source of how-to information, and it should accompany you whenever you're making pictures. If you tag the pages in the manual that you most often refer to, you'll be able to find them quickly when you're in the field and need a little extra help.

Can't find your manual? Not a problem. Nikon offers a complete manual for each of its products in a downloadable file format available at the Download Center on NikonUSA.com. There are PDF (portable document format) versions of manuals for Nikon digital cameras, NIKKOR lenses and Nikon Speedlights. This site also offers links for downloading Nikon imaging software, including Nikon Capture NX2, Nikon ViewNX and Nikon Transfer. Nikon ViewNX and Transfer are free downloads.
