Min-U Guides bring product documentation for your Nikon® DSLR direct to your iPhone or iPod touch.
Now, when you go on in the field, on the road or in the studio with your DSLR, there is no need to carry laminated cheat-sheets or heavy printed user guides and no worries about finding online product reference materials that are compatible with your iPhone.
Min-U Guides are easy to use.
You can navigate directly to the menu reference you require to get the most out of your camera purchase. Let Min-U Guides show you it is possible to be mobile and productive without being a modern-day pack mule. Whether you are new to using Nikon DSLRs, or an accomplished professional, Min-U Guides help you do more with your time and mind. Min-U Guide ‘drill-down’ menus, with explanations covering up to over two hundred menus for camera controls and options, including supporting graphics/diagrams, help you tame the fabulous Nikon® DSLR cameras without carrying a supply of dead-tree reference books or hard-to-read cheat-sheets. You are freed from endlessly Googleing or bookmarking details on DSLR menu usage that are online but never before created specifically for mobile device screens. Navigate quickly and directly to the menu in question and find out when/where/why you should or shouldn’t use various options. Now you can spend your time shooting more amazing images instead of digging through lengthy reference materials.
12.15.2009 Note: Min-U Guides continue to grow. We are happy to thank everyone for the terrific response. All DSLR guides are being updated with improved navigation, more diagrams and additional content including camera control diagrams.
Min-U Guides are organized in the same manner as Nikon® DSLR camera control menus.
While using Min-U Guides you also learn more about using your DSLR. You will be able to focus on enjoying the camera by gaining control over what are some of the most complex digital cameras available. Min-U Guides are the newest form of documentation on the planet, they need only a light touch to use and are formatted specifically for your mobile device – as long as it is an iPhone or iPod touch, of course.
Apple’s iTunes/iPhone App Store continues to be the fastest growing entertainment and information distribution network available in the world. Now you can enjoy these fabulous resources and take increased advantage of both your Nikon® DSLR and Apple® iPhone/touch. Min-U Guides are made available directly to you at low cost and are ready to use. Updates will follow substantial changes made by product manufacturers and are free to current owners. You will know immediately when a new version is available meaning that the most current information is as close as your iPhone/touch.
New products will have their own Min-U Guides and will join a growing library for existing products in many markets. Check this website and the iPhone App Store often to see which new product guides have been recently added.
