Easy R I currently have it set to ISO. Just press the Function button on the side of the lens with your left thumb and turn the Command dial. The status display lights up the Fn box and you can see the ISO numbers ramp up or down. A good many other essential items are shown on the Nikon D40's Status display, and can easily be controlled with only a few more buttons.

When you reach the one you want, hit the OK button in the center of the Multi selector and a menu is displayed with photographic examples for the various modes. Make your selection and press the OK button again.

You're ready to shoot with your new setting. The screens are very much like those we've seen on consumer digicams over the past few years, and it is appropriate to see them here on the Nikon D40, an SLR aimed at consumers.

The screen is a big, bright 2. The camera is so small that the screen seems to dominate the Nikon D40's back panel. I'm overjoyed to see that there's no silly snap-on screen protector in the Nikon D40 box. They fog up, add two extra surfaces to reflect glare, and just bug me. I'm told the screen cover is good for protecting the screen from shirt button scratches. I just went out for a walk with the Nikon D40 around my neck, and my nylon shirt buttons didn't mar the screen.

I suppose harder buttons might, though. To this day, however, I've never even seen a scratched LCD display on an SLR, so just be aware, using the care you should be with your fragile photographic tool, and you should be able to maintain a scratch-free LCD cover glass with little trouble. About half have recognized that it helps to have the LCD turn off when you put the camera to your eye. Nikon is not among that half. It's not a big problem in good light indoors or out, but when it gets dark, it's a nuisance, one that gets worse if you have glasses.

The glare just bounces around in that optical mess. If you half press the shutter, however, the Status display goes off. It comes back on about a half second after your release the shutter. The D40's status display, which Nikon calls the Shooting Information Display, goes off after a few seconds at idle to save batteries, and comes back on when you press the Info button behind the Shutter release button.

You can choose among three displays, and pick different ones when in PASM vs full-auto and Scene modes. The Graphic display is set by default. It shows a wheel in the left corner that represents a shutter speed dial and aperture display.

The aperture display "stops down" to approximate what the lens blades will be doing, but it only moves after several turns of the Command dial. The same goes for the shutter speed graphic. It seems like a good idea to educate those who are unfamiliar with how cameras work, though they'll have to be the types to pay close attention. I'm sure that the type who will notice the display at all will have already spent some time looking down the lens and watching the aperture blades move as they snap the shutter.

Still, it's nice to have an option. You can also have your own picture there as a backdrop in Wallpaper mode. For the most part, I prefer the Classic display, with its no-nonsense, bold display of the important data. Regardless of the display chosen, the LCD is slow to refresh as you change settings. That includes aperture, shutter speed, and EV exposure value settings.

I found myself particularly frustrated with the EV settings, because I frequently overshot my goal, thinking the camera had missed my input. The LED display in the optical viewfinder doesn't have this problem, however, moving instantaneously to reflect your choice. This is an unfortunate bug that makes using the manual modes with the Nikon D40 difficult.

Optical viewfinder. Luke, the lab technician, and I both found the diopter control difficult to set. We also noticed that the D40 didn't adjust for our eyesight well enough which isn't unusual for me. Rather than the wheel Nikon used on the D and D80, the D40 has a slider next to the rubber eyepiece. Changing it while looking through the viewfinder is cumbersome, and you frequently slide past your desired setting due to the force necessary to move it in the first place.

The viewfinder display is very good, showing all the important information, including which AF point is selected, and there's a little question mark icon that flashes in low light or any other situations the Nikon D40 wants to pull you aside for a little conference.

To have that conference, just pull the camera from your eye and press the question mark button on the left of the LCD display. Here in my office, it usually says, "Lighting is poor; flash recommended.

What I don't like is the incessant flashing of the question mark in the viewfinder and on the back LCD when I'm trying to do something unconventional. I guess I could get more lights in here, but I'd rather have an option to turn this feature off. Not a big deal, though, just a rant, and one enthusiasts might want to make note of: this digicam's help feature just might bug you. AF points. These are big, obvious brackets. And yes, there are only three, but I'm really not as jazzed as I used to be about multiple AF points.

I more frequently lock a camera to its center point and work from there. The center point is usually more accurate, and I find that SLRs just aren't as accurate at guessing what I want in focus. On digicams it's not as important, because they usually have a depth of field as long as my truck, but on SLRs point-of-focus becomes more critical. There is one small problem related to AF points and the Nikon D40's size. Because the area for your thumb is small, I find I accidentally press the left and right arrows on the Multi controller, changing the default AF point.

That's a bit of an unwelcome surprise when you raise the camera to your eye for a quick candid portrait and the D40 focuses on the subject's belt. It may be that this camera is better left in Closest subject or Dynamic area modes. Doors and latches. The Nikon D40's SD card door opens with a firm slide to the rear, then it swings open under power of a good stiff spring.

A rubber bumper softens and quiets its impact. I prefer this design to others that just flop around loose. Nikon also improved the battery door and its retention spring. The Nikon D70 and D80 had weak, mushy springs on their latches, and could open if you pressed in the just the wrong way on the bottom of the camera.

Not so with the D The spring is firm. Once that door is open, the battery seems to slide right out. This is just enough for you to grab the battery and pull it out the rest of the way.

I noticed that the battery of the D70 and D80 were halted in the same way, but it was a thin wire that did the arresting. I wondered how long that would last. On the Nikon D40, the arresting is done by a wide bit of spring steel. That should last longer.

I've also found the battery life to be quite good, enduring several days of regular shooting. Still, I recommend a second battery. It's a drag to be without your camera while you wait for the battery to charge; and it usually dies when you need it most.

The best news, though, is that most Lithium ion batteries can sit charged for a long time often a month or so and still be good when you need them. Low light.
