Nikon’s smallest digital SLR combines a
10.2-megapixel CCD with a simple, intuitive
operation designed to take great, high-resolution
pictures for everyone.
While maintaining the
compact size and portability of the D40 camera body,
the D40X produces even more outstanding, detailed
pictures thanks to its 10.2-megapixel CCD and
cutting-edge digital technologies. Its resolution
power makes it easy for users to print up to A3-size
pictures or crop aggressively without losing any
fine details. The D40X is loaded with everything you
need for truly amazing images: a 10.2-megapixel CCD,
Nikon’s exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II, an
improved Image Processing Engine and superb Auto
White Balance. Together with a world-famous Nikkor
lens, these features combine to ensure perfect
exposure, refined details and natural, vivid colors.
The D40X has an ergonomic design and
streamlined interface, an
intuitive operation that’s simple and fun – even for
entry-level users. The bright and clear viewfinder
ensures precise composition, while the 2.5-inch
large LCD monitor utilizes an easy-to-use menu
system and a wide viewing angle so that everyone can
navigate their settings and view their images with
ease. There is also a handy built-in Help menu:
simply press a button and useful information on key
features is displayed on the LCD Monitor.
The D40X is fast. Its near-instant power-up (0.18
second) and fast, reliable responses help
photographers act on the moment, while the
continuous shooting mode lets photographers easily
capture up to 100 JPEG images of action as fast as 3
frames per second. The camera’s razor-sharp
autofocus ensures crisp images for a wide variety of
photographic scenes.
Flash photography is simple with the D40X because
the camera employs Nikon’s market-leading i-TTL
flash control, which evaluates ideal flash exposure
automatically and accurately, even in difficult
lighting situations.
Eight Digital Vari-Program modes offer creative
shooting options that are optimized for common
shooting situations. Fun, fast and simple, they are
as easy to use as rotating the mode dial. For
further control over aperture and shutter speed,
P/S/A/M modes are available.
Exclusive in-camera image editing features are
available in the Retouch menu. One of the main
features is Nikon’s exceptional D-lighting, which
brings out details usually lost in underexposed
areas of an image while retaining the proper
exposure in brighter areas. Photographers can
correct red-eye easily, or use Monochrome effects to
change an image to Black-and-white or Sepia tone.
Nikon’s bundled software, PictureProject, also
allows users to edit images on a computer.
PictureProject makes transferring, organizing and
sharing images incredibly simple, while the optional
Capture NX software offers even more creative
control.
Some of the D40X’s major improvements include an
even longer-lasting battery that allows up to 520*
images per charge, faster
continuous shooting at 3 frames per second and a wider ISO sensitivity of 100 to
1600, plus HI-1.*CIPA standards, with Built-in Flash used for
50% of the shots
While it inherits many advanced digital and
optical technologies from professional models, the
D40X is Nikon’s
smallest, most compact digital SLR camera. By
offering everyone mobility, ease-of-use and
incredible pictures with great resolution, the D40X
welcomes everyone to the world of Nikon digital SLR
photography.
