This is the first Leica D-Lux 4 book – “Photographer’s Guide to the Leica D-Lux 4: Getting the Most from Leica’s Compact Digital Camera“:
“This book, written by Alexander S. White, is a guide to one of the more popular and sophisticated digital cameras now on the market. The book is a trade-sized paperback, 227 pages long, with more than 100 color photographs or illustrations. The book includes clearly written explanations of all of the camera’s features, controls, and menus. It also covers topics such as the use of flash (both built-in and external), infrared photography, macro photography, and accessories. All distances and weights in the book are stated in the English system (feet, inches, ounces) as well as the metric system. The book also may be of interest to owners of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera, because the D-Lux 4 is very similar to the LX3, and the operations of the two cameras are almost identical.”
Check Alexander White’s blog describing the process of publishing this book. The book can be purchased for US $ 19.95 here.
I will soon organize a giveaway of this book, here on LeicaRumors. Stay tuned.
