Pentax K-7 Reading Material

**jeffshaddix** · 06-19-2010, 08:26 PM

Hey guys, just bought a K-7 off of B&H for a great deal. I know this is a feature rich camera, so are there any books or good websites you guys recommend for learning the ins & outs? I've already read all the basics when I got my last DSLR, so I'm just interested in stuff specific to the K-7.

Thanks!

I think Yvon Bourque may have an e-book on the K7. don't know if Magic Latern has one out or not.

He does have an ebook on the K-7 for $10, I bought his book on the K-X, ended up printing it out and putting it in a loose leaf binder. I think it makes a better reference book than the instruction manual.

Go through the manual! Lots of buttons and menus have changed since the last few models. Plus get a handle on the new features ahead of time.
