Features and Functions
The feature and function menus are explained and demonstrated in a simple but detailed manner. After viewing both DVDs, I was able to take my Nikon D200 to "an experienced user level" without having to flip through a complicated manual. Seeing the features and menus in use makes learning the Nikon D200 a breeze! All you have to do is watch, copy the technique, and put it into action. I love being able to rewind and try the same technique performed by the Elite Video Instructor.
Every feature is demonstrated and explained including the continuous shooting mode, the shutter priority mode preset modes, flash settings, import settings, white balance settings, memory settings, display and playback modes, focus modes, set up, custom menus, histogram, and self timer. It even introduced me to features of the Nikon D200 that I didn't know existed.
Learning Made Fast & Easy
If the Nikon D200 does it, you will learn about it with the EliteVideo Nikon D200 Training. Without a lot of hard work, I became an expert in a few hours. I no longer need to use the auto mode for taking pictures. Now I can refine my photographic shooting techniques while experiencing the power of my new Nikon D200.

Favorite Classes
For me, these classes were extremely helpful and the explanations are illustrated and demonstrated with actual photographic events. Also if you constantly wonder about what lens to purchase, this topic is covered in depth by two knowledgeable photographers arguing the pros and cons of all lenses.
