With its low price and compact body, the Nikon D40 and its nearly identical sister model the D40x are ideal cameras for first-time digital SLR users. Unfortunately the camera doesn't come with the know-how needed to apply all the camera's features to getting the perfect photo. Nikon D40/D40x For Dummies fills that gap with a full-color guide to the basics of using and shooting with the D40 or D40x.

Digital Photography For Dummies author and photo guru Julie Adair King introduces each of the controls and features of the camera in terms even non-photographers can understand. She demonstrates not only what each function does, but how to best apply it when taking photos. Illustrated with over 200 full-color photos, this book is ideal for the Nikon D40/D40x beginner. «
