Cheat Sheets

[nikonal]

Does anybody use Cheat Sheets?

Just wondering if anybody had compiled one as a quick reference for camera settings.

I was thinking along the lines of a studio tog who might end up out doing journo work or some other togging that is not familiar or regular to them and could quickly refer to his/her laminated sheet, rather than flicking though a manual.

Think there are some advertised on eBay?

My take on this has always been that as long as you have a decent understanding of the principles of photography and a familiarity with your chosen equipment, then you should be able to apply that knowledge to any situation or subject.

As Rob has just said, as long as you know how to adjust your shutter speed, aperture and ISO and when to use exposure compensation then you should be able to get by in any shooting situation.

I am however currently pulling together some 'cheat sheets' for my SB600 & SB800. As they are similar but slightly different I forget how to do certain things on them so I'm writing some brief bullet points on how to do the non-TTL functions.
