The Photo Buddy Quik Cards are an inexpensive way to get up to speed on techniques that will help you create stunning photos. The Quik Cards or "cheatsheets" small enough to be easily stored in your camera bag or clipped just about anywhere.  The hard part about photography is learning what settings to change, when to change them, and how much of a change is needed.  Knowing where the settings are on your camera is the easy part, that's why we have chosen to keep Quik Cards universal to DSLR and SLR style cameras and not model specific.  These  concise, durable & ultra-light cards are a great reference for avid photographers -- just clip them in your camera bag for quick help when you're out shooting.  Unlike most manuals, Quik Cards are written in easy-to-understand language.  Quik Cards keep the information you need close at hand so you have it when you need it.
