The guide talks about each Nikon D90 feature and how to use them, to give the user a through understanding of this powerful camera capabilities.

If you want the printable version of this Nikon D90 Manual, you’ll need to register and enter your Nikon D90 serial number.

If you can get hold of one I would recomend you purchasing the Nikon D90 Cheat Sheet which will make things a lot easier for you.

As all Technical manuals this Nikon D90 Manual is pretty dense and not too practical, for the beginners I would recommend Nikon D90 for dummies, I know that it sounds bad and basic, but this book achieves what the official manual doesn’t which is to give the beginner a pretty thorough understanding of the capabilities of the camera and at the end of the day how to get the best photos and videos out of the Nikon D90, you can buy it here.

For the more advanced users there are two books that I would recommend:

The first one is David Busch’s Nikon D90 Guide to Digital SLR Photography,

This recently published manual is full of usefull tips and tricks on how to get the best our of the Nikoon D90 if you are an avid user of this camera this manual is a must! you can purchase it here. This 392 will make you an expert of most of Nikon D90 features and your photographing skills will improve as you pace through the pages of this manual.

At only $20 aprox this is one of the best camera manuals ever written.

The second one is Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D90

As all Magic Lantern Guides, these people are professionals and they know what an amateur photographer is looking for when purchasing a manual.

written in a clear style but it has lots of tricks that help find your way around the camera It also has cool stuff like photos of the D90 while being built at the factory and also a thorough in depth explanation of layers in and around the sensor. You can also find some photos to inspire your creativity.

I own these three books and I go back to all of them every once in a while since the information they provide is unique and destined to different levels of knowledge.

Check this impressive Nikon D90 Battery Grip accessory which will give you the battery life you need for your longer trips and will provide a better stability for the camera.
