I find that some of these are basically just verbose version of the Canon manual in that they don't do much to teach you "photography" per se. Go to and type in "Canon T3i book" and it'll find lots of tutorial books specific to your camera model. All these versions of the camera are identical.The Rebel series of cameras are Canon's entry-level SLR. In some parts of the world, this camera uses the model number Canon 600D (or EOS Kiss X5 in Japan). In February 2011, Canon released a new version of its Ti-series cameras called T3i. As you work your way through the book, the camera functions will start to become obvious to you - such that the simple Canon manual that came with it will almost certainly be enough.

I would start with a book like Byran Peterson's "Understanding Exposure". Once you start to understand the hows & whys of flash phototgraphy, a book that explains the features of your specific flash will make sense just by listing it's features (you'd get to the part on "flash exposure compensation" and it would immediately make sense to you as to when you'd want to use that.) So what you'd really need is a book to teach you about photographic lighting techniques. But if you don't understand flash photography, you'd be scratching your head as to what "flash exposure compensation" even means - much less why you'd want to dial it up or down. It might, for example, tell you that if you press some button you can dial the "flash exposure compensation" up or down. But reading such a book probably wouldn't make much sense. You might think you'd want a book on using that flash. you could buy a speedlite flash (suppose you bought a Canon 430EX II). The best books to learn the fundamentals of photography aren't actually camera-model specific.

While it's not a tutorial on "photography" it will do a good job explaining what each feature on your camera does.
