Part I

Using the Nikon D40/D40x

Up Front

Figure 1.1 shows the Nikon D40/D40x from

the front view. To hold your camera steady

and keep all the major controls at your ﬁn-

gertips, wrap your right hand around the

handgrip and place your left hand under-

neath, supporting the underside of the lens

with your thumb and index ﬁnger on the

zoom ring.

By using this grip, you can reach the shutter

release button with the index ﬁnger of your

right hand and quickly turn the camera on

or off with the same ﬁnger. While you keep

the camera steady with your left hand

(especially helpful under dim illumination

for slower shutter speeds), your ﬁngers are

free to manipulate controls on that side of

the D40/D40x, including the zoom ring, the

focus ring (if you're adjusting focus manu-

ally), the electronic ﬂash ﬂip-up button, and

the Function (Fn) button, which serves as a

short-cut to features you specify (see

Chapter 3). I explain all these controls later

1.1

A front view of the Nikon D40/D40x

in this chapter. Here you see two views of

the front of the camera, from left and right

angles (as seen from the photographer's

position).

Autofocus assist illuminator/

self-timer lamp/red-eye reduc-

tion lamp. This front-mounted

white LED serves three different

functions. When available illumina-

tion is dim, the lamp can ﬂash to

provide enough light to increase

the contrast so the automatic focus

mechanism can function. (You can

disable this feature when it might

prove obtrusive or distracting.) In

self-timer mode, the lamp blinks

during the delay period, serving as

a countdown to the actual expo-

sure. When you're using ﬂash, the

front panel lamp can issue a burst

of light just before the exposure,

which can help contract the pupils

in your subjects' eyes and reduce

the red-eye effect.
