Nikon's success in the D-SLR market has been outstanding, and the new D40 is sure to be yet another sales sensation. Written by Simon Stafford, this Magic Lantern manual gives owners all the information they need to understand and operate their camera. It explains every feature and function, plus the in-camera processing and file formats, menus and the LCD monitor, operation modes, flash, lenses, working with the computer, and much more. It's a must-have to make the most out of this great piece of equipment.
The book is difficult for me to understand, however, I believe this is due to my total lack of knowledge of photography terms. The Nikon D40 is a difficult camera for the novice to understand unless using the point and shoot options. I have been reading and rereading the book, and the knowledge is gradually coming through. The book is much better than a DVD I purchased on the same subject.

I have found the Magic Lantern guides very very helpful over the years and this one is no exception. Highly recommended.
Great field guide!

This guide fills out the missing pieces the D40 instruction manual left out. I gave it a quick skim through to get an over view of the advanced functionality of my camera. Now I take it with me when I'm shooting... to look up tricks and tips to get the right shot in the field. Highly recommended!

This book is a great help in learning to operate this camera. I have two D-40's in my household and the Magic Latern Book is a "must". I consider it a "staple" in my photography.

This book is a terrific guide to help understand all the functions of the D 40, and I realized that it gave me significant insight concerning not only what functions were on the D 40, but what settings and features should be changed from defaults.Very useful.Thanks to the author and Magic Lantern Guides.
