Magic Lantern Guides: Canon EOS Rebel T3i (EOS 600D) / T3 (EOS 1100D) Multimedia Workshop [Hardcover]

I recently purchased a Canon T3 dslr and wanted to find a manual that would kick start my use of the camera. I was happily surprised to find a DVD about it.
The T3i is used in the DVD and it's clearly explained if a function isn't available on the T3. The instructor also discusses the settings he prefers to use and why. I'm glad he offers his professional opinion. I don't mind taking a suggestion that works well for someone else and using it as a starting point.
Now I think I have a good grasp of the functions available on my camera and feel more confident about taking it off the "Auto" mode.
My Magic Lantern guide came with 2 DVDs, one about my particular camera and one about the basics of good photography and using a dslr. Both DVDs are nicely done and I would recommend them to anyone unfamiliar with dslr cameras.
I'm also reading through the "Canon EOS Rebel T3/1100D Digital Field Guide" which goes into more detail about my camera's functions. It's easy to use, too.

Product Description

"This short guide presents essential information about digital photography and the Canon EOS Rebel T3i/T3 camera. The 'Magic Lantern' series titles read like illustrated, expanded, easy-to-understand supplements to the manuals that come with new cameras. The series covers many camera models, but the Canon Rebel has long been popular, so this volume is likely to be helpful to readers everywhere. A 'Magic Lantern' guide will be published this fall for the similarly popular Nikon D51000. These guides are best for beginning and intermediate photographers just starting to use cameras with interchangeable lenses." - Library Journal
