So Refined, So Rewarding

Incredible pictures have never
been simpler

Taking great pictures doesn’t have

to be complicated. The D40X proves

that everyone can have Nikon-quality

images and performance without sacrificing simplic-

ity and fun. Just turn on AUTO mode, look through

the clear, bright viewfinder and shoot. Powerful,

high-quality, 10.2-megapixel photography has never

been easier. The large 2.5-inch LCD monitor and

corresponding menus are

all designed to be sim-

ple to view, share

Nikon Exclusive Feature System #1: 3D Color Matrix Metering II

Handy Help Menu

The D40X’s help menu works like

a built-in instruction manual, with

advice and directions for every

camera setting at the press of a

button. It’s easy: press the O but-

ton on the back of the camera for

detailed information about particu-

lar functions. Simple, helpful infor-

mation is then displayed on the

bright back LCD panel, so you’re

always prepared.

Cameras see light differently than we do, but Nikon’s incredible 3D

Color Matrix Metering II gets accurate and vivid colors for every photo

you take, automatically. Thanks to its built-in database of over 30,000

lighting scenarios, the D40X calculates appropriate exposures for con-

trast, color, highlights and shadows no one else can deliver. It’s like hav-

ing a seasoned professional at your fingertips. Just point and shoot.

So Quick, So Confident

Life looks different when time
stands still

Life is full of surprises. Are you ready for them?

With the D40X, you will be. Its 0.18-second startup

means there’s no waiting around for the camera,

and the multiple shutter speeds (up to 1/4000th

of a second!) can freeze just about any action:

sports, wildlife, children, even splashing water!

The D40X is also equipped with a minimal shutter

release time lag and a fast, razor-sharp autofocus

system, so you’ll always be

prepared to capture the drama

High-speed Continuous
Shooting

Timing is everything in photog-

raphy, so why not increase your

chances of capturing the right

moment with high-speed continu-

ous shooting? Just hold down the

shutter release button in continu-

ous mode and you can take up to

100 frames at as fast as 3 frames

per second. Great for sports and

action pictures, as well as portraits

or other people shots, as facial

expressions can change quickly.

of life as it happens.

Nikon Exclusive Feature System #2:
Multi-CAM 530 AF Sensor Module

Sharp focus can make or break an action shot, so when it comes

to a quick focusing system, the D40X has you covered. The key is

Nikon’s exclusive three-area Multi-CAM 530 AF Sensor Module.

Nikon’s class-leading technology is at the heart of the system, so

you’ll get incredibly fast response. The result: pin-sharp images,

even when your subjects are moving or dimly lit.

•Lens: AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED •Exposure mode: [AUTO] 1/500 second, f/5.6 •White balance: Auto •Sensitivity: ISO-equiv. 100

So Bright, So Brilliant

Nikon flash technology:
warmth and brilliance

Great light makes great pictures.

That’s why the D40X uses Nikon’s

incredible Built-in Flash technology,

Without flash

ensuring soft, natural light — even

in dark or backlit situations. The camera does all

the calculations for you, and AUTO mode makes

it simple: just point and shoot, and the Built-in

Flash pops up when needed to apply

Versatile Speedlight: SB-400

You’ll be amazed at what a little

extra light can do. The new SB-400

Speedlight was designed small,

portable and easy to use. Its large

guide number means it can throw

light for much greater distances,

and it can be tilted for the soft, nat-

ural light of a bounce flash. Nikon’s

exclusive i-TTL system is built-in,

ensuring accurate, consistent

results.

the right amount of light. Together

with Nikon’s wide array of external

Speedlights, sophisticated flash

photography becomes fast and fun.

Nikon Exclusive Feature System #3: i-TTL Flash Control

Lighting used to be a delicate business, but Nikon’s industry-leading

i-TTL (Through The Lens) flash control technology makes it simple,

quickly evaluating and calculating each scene’s ideal lighting, even in

difficult backlighting situations. Another picture, another calculation

and another ideal exposure. Instantly. The D40X does all the work

for you. It’s never been easier, more accurate or more consistent —

thanks to Nikon’s advanced technology.

So Flexible, So Versatile

CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A TWIST: THE D40X’S EASY MODE DIAL.

With the D40X, you can get great pictures in almost any situation.

The eight Digital Vari-Programs automatically calculate ideal settings

for common shooting situations. Just select a mode appropriate

to your shooting situation and let the D40X do the rest.

you can control shutter speeds or apertures and determine exposure compensation,

metering and white balance options. You can also turn the flash on or off,

control the flash mode and determine the flash level.

Portrait: Sophisticated portraits are easy in this mode. The

background will soften while your subject stays sharply
focused in the foreground. The result is stylish, professional­looking images of your loved ones.

Retouch menu

Take advantage of the amazing in-camera

image editing features built into the

Retouch menu. The D40X makes it easy

to crop, edit and enhance your images,

all without the use of a computer. The

Retouch menu includes Red-eye correction

for correcting the red-eye effect caused by

flash, Filter effects for changing an image’s

color balance and Image overlay for creat-

ing a double-exposure out of two selected

RAW images. Simply select an image,
choose an effect and press L, and your new image is created and saved

additionally on the memory card, leaving the original image intact.

There are seven different types of in-camera
editing functions available with the D40X.

Original Black-and-white

Sepia Cyanotype

Monochrome: Give any in-camera image

monochrome effects such as black and

white, sepia tone (like antique photos) and

cyanotype (B&W with a blue tint).

D-lighting: This amazing feature enhances

the brightness and contrast of any

in-camera image. Now pictures that were

"almost perfect" can be even better. Ever

had a picture where the faces were too

dark? D-lighting may be the solution. It

works wonders on pictures

taken in low light, mixed

lighting or backlighting,

adding extra punch to drab

indoor images and drawing

out colors muted by poor

lighting.

Capturing Distant Subjects
Is a Breeze

Loaded with powerful 3.6x

zooming capability in a light and

compact body, the new, afford­able AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor
55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED lens helps

you get closer to the excitement. It’s ideal for

capturing sports, wildlife and the great out-

doors. And since Nikon’s advanced VR technol-

ogy is built in, you can minimize the problem of

camera shake common when shooting with a

telephoto lens.

*The D40X is designed for AF-S and AF-I CPU lenses equipped with an

autofocus motor. Moreover, most of the world-famous F-mount Nikkor
lenses can be used with manual focus.

Nikon’s dependable Vibration Reduction (VR) system

Even in low light, Nikon’s exclusive VR system helps prevent blur caused by

camera movement. The VR system is built into the lens, not in the camera body,

which means each VR lens can work on its own optimized algorithms, and you get

a steady view while composing. The result: accuracy, efficiency and remarkably

sharp pictures.
