iOS – Canon 5D Mark III inBrief Camera Reference – New

Your new Canon 5D Mark III has many controls and settings designed to allow you to make a perfect exposure. 

But remembering where they are and how the features work together can be daunting. 

If you decide to carry the user manual in your bag but finding the answer to your question can be a frustrating experience. That is why Blue Crane Digital developed an abbreviated field reference guide for your digital SLR. 

The inBrief reference app answers most camera operation questions quickly and easily. The information is arranged logically for ease of use. 

The main menu displays a color-coded index to the rest of the panels. For instance, if you have a question about white balance, just check the index, then touch the purple button. An overview of the information for each of the panels is listed below:

This app is available to purchase for $9.99/£5.99 and you can download it here.
