This book is a text-only guide to the operation of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II digital camera. It is a shortened version of Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC-RX100 II, published in 2013. The original book contains hundreds of color photographs, which make it quite expensive to print. This text-only edition has had almost all of the illustrations removed, and those few that are remain printed in black and white, in order to reduce the printing cost and, therefore, the purchase price. This revised version contains almost all of the text of the original book, though it omits some introductory remarks about the camera and other information that does not explain the use of the camera. It also does not include discussions about illustrations that do not appear in this edition of the book. The purpose of this edition is to provide a less-expensive alternative for readers who want a printed reference guide to the features and operation of the camera at a reduced price. Because this volume contains very few illustrations, it may be difficult to follow some of the discussions. Therefore, the publisher will provide a free copy of the downloadable PDF version of the original book, with all of its color illustrations, to any purchaser of this text-only volume who requests one. Details of this offer are included in the book's Introduction.
