FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
compatibility
Will these work for my Canon or Nikon DSLR?
What about mirrorless?
In short, if your camera has a removable lens, then yes, these cards will help! These cheat sheet cards work for Canon DSLRs, Nikon DSLRs, Sony DSLRs, and any brand of mirrorless cameras.
Photography is not brand-specific or camera-specific. Yes, different manufactures use slightly different abbreviations, but the foundations of photography are the same for everyone, no matter what kind of camera you are using. Where needed, the cheat sheet cards indicate the minor language differences between brands, but the concepts are universal.
If you have a manual setting, where you can control your aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, then these cards will help. Some cameras include "scene" modes, but you're looking for an M for Manual. Hint: every DSLR and Mirrorless camera sold in the last 10 years has this mode.
SKILL
What skill level is the information?
The DSLR camera deck is for newbies through intermediate users.
The content provides a great refresher for those who have already taken a photography course but also can be understood by total beginners.
SIZE
What are the dimensions?
The cards are made of durable plastic with a glossy sheen, much like a gift card or credit card. The deck weighs only 3 ounces, making it lightweight and hardly noticeable in your bag or purse. Each card is 3 inches wide by 4 inches tall, with rounded corners so nothing gets scratched. Each deck is about 1/2 inch thick, held together by a split ring.
SHIPPING
How much is shipping?
Shipping within the United States is always free!
We're working on a low international rate as well, but it's not quite available.
SHIPPING
Can I send these as a gift?
Sure! Let us know in the purchase comments if you want to add a gift message or have us wrap the deck. These make a great stocking stuffer for any budding photographer!
DISCOUNTS
Do you offer any coupons or discounts?
We offer two different decks in two color schemes. The DSLR set here goes perfectly with our
Lighting & Composition set, which is sold in a bundle here; no coupon necessary.
