So Quick, So Confident

Instant responses mean you’re always ready

Life is full of surprises. Are you ready for them? With the D40X, you will be. Its 0.18-second startup means there’s no waiting around for the camera, and the multiple shutter speeds (up to 1/4000th of a second!) can freeze just about any action: sports, wildlife, children, even splashing water! The D40X is also equipped with a minimal shutter release time lag and a fast, razor-sharp autofocus system, so you’ll always be pre-

pared to capture the memories and fun of life as it happens.

Nikon Exclusive Feature System #2:

Multi-CAM 530 AF Sensor Module

Sharp focus can make or break an image, so when it comes to a quick focusing system, the D40X has you covered. The key is Nikon’s exclusive three-area Multi-CAM 530 AF Sensor Module.

Nikon’s class-leading technology is at the heart of the system, so you’ll get incredibly fast responses. The result: tack-sharp images, even when your subjects are moving or dimly lit.

High-speed Continuous Shooting

Timing is everything in photog- raphy, so why not increase your chances of capturing the right moment with high-speed continu- ous shooting? Just hold down the shutter release button in continu- ous mode and you can take up to 100 frames at as fast as 3 frames* per second. Great for sports and action pictures, as well as portraits or other people shots, as facial expressions can change quickly.

*The fastest frame rates can be achieved by choosing manual focus, rotating the mode dial to S or M and selecting a shutter speed of 1/250 s. or faster, using defaults for all other settings.
