The D40 is a compact and lightweight high-performance camera that makes it possible for anyone to create stunning images with an SLR. Designed specifically for ease of use, the D40 lets you use the kind of digital and optical technologies that professionals use without the need to deal with complex functions. Whatever you shoot there is an automated Digital Vari Program that lets you achieve fantastic results in any situation.. Help menus are easy to navigate and the in-camera retouch menu makes it simple to edit and enhance your images on the large, bright 2.5-inch LCD monitor. Perfect for people who want an affordable camera to explore what it is that makes SLR photography stand out, the D40 is so user-friendly that all you have to do is concentrate on the scene you want to photograph and the camera’s advanced Nikon technologies will take care of the rest.

Please Note that Auto Focus will only work when using Nikon AF-S lenses or the Sigma HSM, Nikon Fit, lenses.
Compact and lightweight: only 475g in weight, the D40 fits comfortably in your hand and features a well-balanced design and grip to ensure easy access to controls.

6.1 megapixel DX format image sensor for exceptionally vivid and detailed high-resolution images that are ideal for enlargements.

Razor-sharp 3-area Autofocus: this advanced autofocus system features three focus areas that can be individually controlled. Whether you are at the beach, the soccer field or an amusement park, the D40 will focus quickly and accurately— even after sundown.

Large, bright 2.5-inch LCD monitor makes it a pleasure to review and edit your shots. Image details are clearly visible and the simple help menus are easy to navigate.

8 Digital Vari-Programs automatically optimize the camera settings to produce great results in any condition. Selections include Auto Flash Off, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close-up and Night Portrait. Simply rotate the mode dial to your preferred choice, or select the completely automatic AUTO mode and let the D40 take care of it all.

Nikon’s exclusive built-in i-TTLflash technology ensures that the D40 always provides the right light — even in backlit situations. The camera evaluates the scene and calculates the ideal lighting before you take each and every shot. No extra buttons, no complicated procedures; flash photography has never been easier or more accurate.

Near-instant 0.18s start-up time. Ready in 0.18 seconds after camera on, the D40 empowers you with the speed to act on the spur of the moment so that you never need to feel the frustrated about missing a special moment again.

2.5 fps continuous shooting: capture subtle movements in a split second with Continuous Shooting Mode. With the ability to take up to 100 action shots at approx. 2.5 frames per second, the D40 is able to capture it all, even when the action is fast.

200 – 1600 ISO broad sensitivity range lets the camera create beautiful images in challenging low-light situations without using a flash. Sensitivity can be manually boosted to a HI-1 setting for those special occasions that call for even higher sensitivity.

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL9: take up to 470 shots in single-frame shooting mode (CIPA standards, with Built-in Flash used for 50% of the shots). The optional AC Adapter EH-5 can be used to power the camera for even longer periods (an AC Adapter Connector EP-5 is required; available separately).

PictBridge compatible. PictBridge is the quick and fun way to print images directly from your camera, without the need for a computer. Simply connect to any compatible printer using the supported USB.

Easy-to-use Retouch Menu makes it simple to edit and enhance your pictures in the camera. The range of image enhancements includes several color filter effects and black-and-white or sepia tones, as well as image technologies such as Red-Eye Fix and D-Lighting.

Full compatibility with Nikon’s Total Imaging System: high-quality Nikkor lenses, i-TTL creative lighting system - including the new SB-400 speedlight- and Nikon software.
