Get better shots in almost any situation. Each of the eight Digital Vari-Program modes is designed to calculate the best settings for your scene automatically. Simply choose one, or select AUTO and let the D40 do all the work.

AUTO: This automatic “point-and-shoot” mode lets you concentrate on getting the shot. Settings are controlled automatically to match shooting conditions.

Auto (Flash Off): Captures low-light situations without the Built-in Flash by using available light and boosting light sensitivity. Whether it’s a museum, concert or school play, you’re ready whenever flash photography is not allowed.

Portrait: Select this mode when you want a sophisticated, professional-looking portrait with your subject sharply focused and the background stylishly softened.

Landscape: This mode ensures beautiful pictures of landscapes, buildings and other large-scale subjects. It’s also ideal for shooting groups of friends and family with a backdrop of beautiful scenery.

Child: Capture beautifully expressive images of children with Child mode. Your pictures will feature natural skin tones while clearly and vividly rendering clothing and background details.

Sports: High shutter speeds freeze motion for dynamic action shots where the main subject stands out clearly. The camera tracks your subject, adjusting the focus with split-second response.

Close Up: Discover the hidden beauty in flowers, coins, insects and other small treasures. Close Up mode renders every detail of the foreground, while a softened background helps your subject stand out. Use a tripod to get the sharpest results.

Night Portrait: This mode focuses on the closest subject in a low- light situation and then calculates a balanced exposure for both the foreground and the background. For the sharpest pictures, a tripod is recommended.
