Part I

Using the Nikon D40/D40x

Aperture lock. If you want to use

the D40/D40x's automatic expo-

sure system with a D-series lens,

you must set the aperture ring to

the smallest f-stop (in this case

f/32), and lock it in that position

by using the aperture lock switch.

You need to unlock the aperture

only if you want to use the lens

with an older camera that can't set

the f-stop electronically, or you are

using the lens with an accessory,

like an extension ring, that doesn't

allow coupling with the autoexpo-

sure system.

Most automatic extension rings

Note

retain full automatic exposure

and focus capabilities, except

when the effective maximum

aperture of the lens is smaller

than

f/5.6.

needs at least that much light to

operate.

On Top

The top panel of the D40/D40x has a clus-

ter of controls. They include

Mode dial. You turn this knurled

wheel to change among the

DVP/Scene modes and Auto, Auto

(Flash Off), Program, Shutter

Priority, Aperture Priority, and

Manual modes.

Focal plane indicator. A few very

specialized types of close-up pho-

tography require knowing precisely

the plane of the camera's sensor,

and the indicator, which may be

hard to see, shows that plane (but

not the actual location of the sen-

sor itself).

The

D40/D40x

Accessory shoe. You can attach

an external electronic ﬂash — also

known as a Speedlight, such as the

Nikon SB-400, SB-600, or SB-800—

to this slide-in accessory shoe (nor-

mally covered with a piece of

protective plastic), which includes

multiple electrical contacts that

enable two-way communication

between your D40/D40x and a

dedicated Speedlight (designed to

work directly with compatible cam-

eras). The communication can

include exposure, distance, zoom

setting, and color temperature

information. You can attach other

accessories as well, including radio

control devices, levels, and add-on

viewﬁnders (useful when shooting

blind because an infrared ﬁlter on

your lens is blocking visible light).

Shooting Information/Reset (#1) .

Press this button, marked with an

Info indicator, to show the current

shooting information status on the

LCD. Hold down this button and

the Settings/Zoom In button on

the back of the camera (which has

a matching green dot) to activate a

reset of the camera's settings to

factory default values.

Exposure Compensation/

Aperture. Hold down this button

while in Program, Shutter Priority,

or Aperture Priority exposure

modes and spin the command dial

to add or subtract exposure from

the basic setting that the auto

exposure system calculates.

Holding down this button in

Manual mode changes the aper-

ture. Hold down the Flash multi-

button at the same time to change

ﬂash exposure compensation. Hold
