Overview

The Nikon D40 is a compact DSLR camera released in 2006, designed specifically for entry-level photographers. It features a 6.1-megapixel DX-format CCD sensor, enabling high-quality image capture with a resolution of 3008 x 2000 pixels. The camera incorporates the Nikon F-mount with an autofocus motor in the body, making it compatible with AF-S and AF-I lenses but not older AF lenses without a built-in motor. It supports ISO sensitivity ranging from 200 to 1600, expandable to 3200 for low-light shooting scenarios. The D40 uses a 2.5-inch LCD monitor for image review and live view is not available, consistent with DSLR technology of its release period. The camera records images in JPEG and NEF (RAW) formats, providing flexibility for post-processing.

In terms of physical features, it has a compact and lightweight body weighing approximately 490 grams with battery. The D40 utilizes a pentamirror viewfinder with 95% frame coverage and 0.8x magnification. Shutter speeds range from 30 seconds to 1/4000 seconds with a bulb mode, supporting creative exposure control. Autofocus is performed via a 3-point AF system optimized for accurate subject tracking. Power is supplied by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, ensuring adequate shooting capacity on the go.
