Learn how to be a photo pro with free on-camera tutorials that relay visual instructions right on your Canon's camera screen.

Have you ever seen people with expensive DSLR cameras who have no idea what they?re doing or how each buttons and functions work, instead leaving everything on Automatic and hoping for the best? We hate those guys. If you own a powerful photography equipment, you should truly learn how to make the most out of it. Now that Canon is offering free, downloadable tutorials you can use straight from the screen of your DSLR, there?s also no excuse not to.

Users can download each tutorial into their memory cards which will load up the option for a lesson when they next start up the camera. Instructions are mostly visual, and shows you which button and control functions to click to get optimum results depending on what you are looking to do.

While the on-screen tutorials are helpful, you will need quite a bit of memory on your card to get the lessons running while shooting additional photos. Tutorial file sizes start at about 150 MB each, and each tutorial only cover one particular type of function. For example, a lesson on movie audio setting on the Canon?EOS 5D Mark II is 167.1 MB while learning AF options for still photos can run you nearly 480 MB.
