Author and photographer Gordon Laing presents 100 of his own images, along with expert commentary, tips, and tricks, in this detailed and accessible book, entitled In Camera: Perfect Pictures Straight Out of the Cameraimprint, helps photographers of all levels understand their cameras' capabilities and master exposure, composition, and focus, in order to capture beautiful, striking photos--without expensive equipment, post-processing, or Photoshop.

Laing teaches you how to push the limits of your camera and create the perfect shots under any conditions, using only your own skills and the settings, modes, and features of your camera and flash. The images he shares, all of which are JPEGs, have been captured with a wide range of different mirrorless cameras; full details on these models and the settings used are provided, in order to give you a whole picture of each scenario and the photographer's technique. Each example affords novice, intermediate, and advanced shooters an opportunity to learn something, whether they're shooting with mirrorless, DSLR, or advanced point-and-shoot cameras.

Q: 1. This attenuator cable is -25 dB. Other cables are -35dB. What cable is more suitable for Tascam DR40, 40X ?

A: If using this to connect a DR40 into a camera, the -25db cable would be fine to ensure a strong enough level into the preamp of the camera while not overloading it.

Q: 2. Is there the same type cable as this but longer than 9"? I need it for a GH5 on a gimbal.

A: I would say 12 to 14 inches.

Q: 3. I would like to connect the audio output of the headphone jack of my JVC HM750 video camera into my GoPro camera. Is this the proper Headphone Tap Cable to do so or would you recommend another type of Headphone Tap Cable sold by B&H?

A: This cable will allow you to connect from the headphone output of your JVC to the input of camera, Go Pro included.

Q: 4. Does this cable work for zoom f6 too??

A: Hi Ching. This cable attenuates the signal 35dB, so it might attenuate the signal a bit more than desired. We have a couple of cables specifically for the Zoom H6, the LN2MIC-ZOOMH6 and LN2MIC-ZMH6-MON. These Zoom H6-specific cables attenuate 25dB rather than 35dB. The LN2MIC-TASDR100 cable will work, but you might have to raise the audio level up on your camera if the audio level is a bit low. Thank you!

Q: 5. The screws from the handles to the the cage brackets are too small - unsure how this would work without a screw adapter?

A: The PRL Perfect Grip Handles with ARRI-Style Rosettes (Set of 2) (B&H# PRLMCHANDLES) features ARRI-style rosettes, the screws in the center of such rosettes being too small for 1/4"-20 female threads. (That's because 6mm is just a bit smaller than 1/4".) However, they handles may be used with the included rosette mount adapters. Those adapters will fit into many cages, such as the PRL Director's Cage for TVLogic F-5A and VFM-055A (B&H# PRLMC5TVLGC) with its 1/4"-20 threads and anti-twist pin receivers.

Q: 6. is it compatible with Tascam DR-40?

A: Yes, this Sescom cable is compatible for use with the Tascam DR-40 recorder.

Q: 7. Would this cable work to record line level from a mixer to an iPhone?

A: The Sescom LN2MIC-TASDR100 Line Out to Camera Mic Level In Cable will convert line level signal to mic level, but you would need to use additional adapters to connect from the mixer and to enable compatibility with the iPhone. As another option, Sescom does offer other types of line to mic attenuator cables that are intended for use with smartphones and have a 3.5mm TRRS connector on the end that connects to the smartphone which you would use with the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APLAADAP) to convert the TRRS plug to Lightning. Depending on the mixer and its available output connectors, you will have different options such as the Sescom Dual 1/4" Phone Plug to 3.5mm TRRS Plug Line to Microphone Summing Cable 3' (B&H # SEIPSUMTS3) or the Sescom Stereo RCA to 3.5mm TRRS Plug Line to Mic Level Summing Cable for Mobile Devices 36" (B&H # SEIPSUMRCA3) or the Sescom Dual Female XLR to 3.5mm TRRS Plug - Line to Mic Level Summing Cable for Mobile Devices 3' (B&H # SEIPSUMXLR3). These cables will send the left and right output from the mixer and will connect to the iPhone when used with the Apple Lightning adapter

Q: 8. Will this work to connect my Canon t4i to my Zoom H1? Need to be sure.

A: Yes it will work and is a compatible compatible cable.

Q: 9. Does this cord also work for the arc 1?

A: No, the Rhino Camera Gear Motor Cable (42", Straight to Right Angle) is designed for the ARC II.

Q: 10. I just bought these but the handles do not attach to the monitor mounts - the screw just spins inside the rosette. Am i missing something?

A: If you are using a compatible display from TV-Logic it would need a cage like this model. PRL Director's Cage for TVLogic F-7H and F-7H Mark II BH #PRLMC7TVLGC https://bhpho.to/3CNsnvh
