Maven Training Tutorial for Nikon D5300 DVD | Made for Beginners!

The first section is all about learning the basics of photography. I learned a lot. Using full manual mode is no longer scary. Which is great because you can't make creative choices unless you know the basics. The DVD is set up with chapter titles that make it really easy to go back and find what you need whenever you want.The second part is all about the camera. I've learned every menu, screen, and button. I have personally found this DVD to be invaluable. Again - any time I get hung up, I just go back and quickly find the chapter and review again. Couldn't be easier. Michael, the instructor, really breaks things down into easily understandable lessons. I will recommend his courses to everyone I know that's interested in photography.

This guy starts at the beginning. Most teachers assume the student already knows something and starts there. No help. I'll admit I haven't seen the whole video since we are in the middle of a big remodeling project. But soon I can see the whole thing. What I've seen so far is Easy five stars. Planning to get his photoshop DVD as well.If you know nothing about the camera and fee intimidated by it, I can tell you already this is foryou and he will take you far along the way to photography with your new Nikon 5300.

This DVD is essential for anyone starting to use the Nikon D5300 DSLR. It is very well organized and allows one to absorb the material in 'bite-sized' pieces and at one's own pace. The best section is how to adjust the controls and settings to one's specific ideas on how to shoot pictures. It is certainly superior to any of the videos I have yet to find on YouTube on the subject. Together with the David Busch's Compact Field Guide for the Nikon D5300 it gives the individual new to the camera all the material needed to get started to use it immediately with minimal fuss.

I actually bought this for help with my GX8. The menu systems are so similar that it was a great help. Michael's videos have the best information and tips !! I would recommend this to anyone with Panasonic camera. It has helped me understand my GX8 and my ZS100.

I am new to photography and this tutorial set breaks the learning process into consumable segments. This enable me to focus on the more complex areas as needed. I would have preferred this in downloadable format for phone or tablet.

I learned a lot about my camera. As an artist, options help give me creative freedom. It's also good reference material to review and although it's a lot of material, it's well organized and indexed.

I bought this for my wife. So far she loves it. She says Michael explains everything in detail and very well. Knowing how frustrated she can get with technology, those comments say a lot about the video. Thanks Mr. Andrews for a well done job!I will update my review when I watch the video myself.

This was the perfect video. In the past I have bought videos from Michael the Maven and each one helps me in a different way. I especially appreciate that the lessons are tailored to this particular camera. If you need help understanding your camera this video is the way to go!
