Features: This book is divided into four parts. Part 1 is the glossary section. It collects over 2,000 terms, primarily covering photography equipment, consumables, photographic figures, the history of camera development, photographic organizations, and photography websites. The second part of the book is the icon explanation section, which includes descriptions of representative cameras from popular camera brands. Considering that most photography manuals only explain how to operate the equipment, the content is often isolated and lacks detailed explanations of their meanings. The third part is the image section, which lists various camera models from popular brands. The fourth part is the appendix, which introduces photography-related units of measurement.
When compiling this book, the author strives to combine accessibility and professionalism. The accessibility refers to the fact that many terms in the book have relatively simple meanings, and the explanations emphasize how to shoot and important usage notes. Many technical issues in photography have already been well-explained in previous dictionaries, making it difficult for general photographers to innovate or contribute new insights. Therefore, the author has supplemented some new content. The professionalism primarily refers to the book's purpose—to serve as a reference tool for professionals engaged in research. During the writing process, the author aimed for accuracy, comprehensiveness, and a reflection of contemporary characteristics.
