AUTO mode is why your photos look like everyone else's

AUTO was built to get a "safe" photo of a sunny afternoon. Point it at a starry sky, a fast bird or a city at night and it guesses, and it usually guesses wrong.

The fix isn't another 3-hour YouTube tutorial you'll forget by the weekend. It's having the right numbers in your hand at the moment the shot appears.

That's what ShotReady™ is: one sheet per situation, with the settings, the reason they work and the mistake to avoid.

Questions? We've got answers.

How do I receive the cheat sheets?

Right after checkout you get an email with your download link and access to the members area. You can download them again anytime.

What file format are they?

High-resolution PDF. They open on any phone, tablet or computer, and print sharp on a home printer.

What print size works best?

They're designed for US Letter and A4. Printed at half size, they fold into a camera bag or jacket pocket and stay readable.

Will they work with my camera?

Yes. The settings apply to any camera with manual controls: DSLR, mirrorless or advanced compact. We note where each control lives on the major brands.

I'm a total beginner. Is this for me?

Yes. Start with "Leaving AUTO in 3 Steps" in the Camera Settings collection. Each sheet assumes nothing and explains every number.

I already shoot in manual. Will I learn anything?

Most experienced shooters use the Adventure and Light collections as a field reference for shots they don't take every week, like auroras, eclipses or light painting.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, lifetime access, including all future updates.

Here's today's deal

Every sheet in ShotReady™ was written, tested and laid out by photographers, then checked in the field: on cold nights under the stars, at the base of waterfalls, on city rooftops. Each one went through the same test: can someone who has never touched the M dial get the shot using only this page?

At $1 per sheet, the full library would cost $150. For the launch, you get all 150 sheets plus the 3 bonuses for one small payment.
