So Quick, So Confident

Instant responses mean you’re

always ready

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 pre-

pared to capture the memories

and fun of life as it happens.

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.

*The fastest frame rates can be achieved by

choosing manual focus, rotating the mode dial to

S or M and selecting a shutter speed of 1/250 s.

or faster, using defaults for all other settings.

Nikon Exclusive Feature System #2:

Multi-CAM 530 AF Sensor Module

Sharp focus can make or break an image, 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 responses. The result: tack-sharp images,

even when your subjects are moving or dimly lit.
