The training is on the camera operation, if you want to learn the art of photography, guess you need to look else where. It is like learning to drive a car vs defensive driving, both cater to different needs.

thanks bro, i guess give it a miss...since operations are covered in the user manual.

The training does focus on the camera operations, hence its referred to as product training. I went to the training before. As a 1st-time DSLR owner, I think it is useful. As a bonus, the instructor (at my time) do touch on some basic photography tips.

I've attended one before, most of the thing being taught can be found in the manual. But it depends on the instructor... Maybe he will give extra tips

Also, this is suitable for those who really lazy to go through the manual or don't know which part of the manual is important.

Understand the detail function of our camera is important to get good photo....

if u have good knowledge of photography, then forget it.


if you are just started out, it will be useful to go even though most of the training can be found in the manual.

It is one thing to read, another thing to have someone explain it to you.
even though you may know it, it is still ok to go for refresher.
strengthen the foundation again
