possible this may be old news & maybe not – if you are a canon dlsr owner and would like to know more about your camera beyond reading your manual, these white papers may be quite handy (click on the image to go to the download site).  contents in these pdf include descriptions of the technology included  in these specific camera bodies, what can they do and its specs. however, its not a “how to” paper. at times the impression i get from reading it – a glorified sales brochure.

what canon meant by “these white papers are traditionaly created for product marketing” is usually when its a global product sold to region specific areas, at times the local marketing department would need to “localised” contents of their product offerings to enable their sales team to train local staffs and distrubutors.

however, its very handy to look for additional information of your camera body. why will it benefitial for hobbyist/enthusiast? (from a portraiture genre point of view) reason being, you often self discover your camera’s offerings and limitations which eventually “mold” the way you want to produce your images. information like these gives you the peace of mind you that the images you shoot is the way you want it (give you the sense of you are in control). saves you time from worrying or have doubts while you are on shoot. the amount of time saved from your doubts can be use effectively on your creativity.

when opportunities arise, thats how you take the fullest advantage of your camera. it is just a tool in your creativity process. you are the one, who makes the difference.
