We can have popup windows for slide show style demonstrations.<br><br> Further more, like I always say, digital technology is improving everyday, there will be updated to the book for registered readers. In electronic format, the files are placed in fixed directory and sub directories; a specified program will automatically handles the necessary replacement.

The automatic exposure function of digital cameras may not be fit with our subject or composition. For digital camera users, the only way to determine is the LCD display. It is difficult for them to judge whether exposure is correct for their photos. MYTCARD METHOD makes use of letters and with a user guide, anyone can read from the LCD display and find the corresponding adjustment.<br><br> As this method may be helpful for a lot of digital camera users, who may not need beginners' guide, so I release it free to the public.
