any good (technical) digital video books?

[Blanket_Statement]

I am looking for a little summer reading and was wondering if anyone knew about some good digital video books. I am open to trying anything once, so let me know. I am looking for something that is going to be an emphasis on the technical side of filmmaking, rather than style. I have been having a blast learning about my camera, but still am a little in the dark. What is zebra? well, if anyone knows of some good books let me know. Thanks.
