Following up on a previous post, an excellent book that will help you become familiar with the basics of digital video is Digital Video Basics by Douglas Spotted Eagle. It is a small book, but it covers a wide variety of topics. The sections are short, easy to read and include great illustrations. It doesn't matter if you are working toward making your first documentary or trying to make better home movies, this book will be a great addition to your library.
And a tip to all you vacation videographers, please keep your finger off the zoom button. Your family will thank you.
