Higher end DSLRs comes with many controls and settings that allow you to capture the perfect exposure. Remembering where they are and exactly how they work together is a difficult, if not impossible task.
You can carry the user manual in your bag, but it's over one hundred pages long. Finding the answer to your question can be a frustrating experience.
The inBrief camera reference card is a laminated, foldable guide that answers most camera operation questions quickly and easily. The information is arranged logically so you can find the answer to you question in the shortest time possible.
Each inBrief card shows an annotated line drawing of the camera and an index to the information on the other panels. If you have a question about white balance, simply look at the purple panel. Answers to custom settings are always on the green panel.
The inBrief card has laminated hinges so the card lies flat. When folded, the dimensions are 5.5 inches by 4.25 inches. It fits neatly in the outside pocket of your camera bag for instant access.
Each card is subdivided into eight subjects across twelve color-coded panels. An overview of the information on each panel is listed below.
Teal: Annotated line drawing and general index
Blue: Viewfinder, Control panel, and Monitor displays
Red: Camera functions by exposure mode and flash information
Lime: Focus, Drive Modes, and Self-Timer
Yellow: Exposure, Metering, Bracketing
Purple: White Balance, ISO, Image Size / Quality
Orange: Displaying Images, Resetting the camera, Live View
Green: Custom Settings
Each card is professionally printed on 10 point card stock and laminated on each side for long wear and protection from the elements. Once you have an inBrief, you can leave your manual at home.

Comments about Blue Crane Digital Blue Crane Digital inBrief Field Guide for Nikon D300 Digital SLR:
The D 300 is a few steps up from my three year old D-70, the quick guide provides a quick reference for me, virtually eliminating basic errors, and saving time. I'll use this often, especially after being away from the camera for a few weeks. I'm sure it will eventually not be needed, but I'll carry it in the bag nevertheless since it weighs nothing and takes up virtually no space.

I recently went on a safari in Uganda, and the D300 was a superb, versatile camera to use - quick to focus, sharp, detailed images. I could not be happier.
