EN-EL9

There are seven different types of in-camera editing functions available with the D40X.

Long-lasting battery

So Helpful, So Capable

All the versatility, simplicity and fun ctionality you need for great pictures

Exposure compensation

Clear, simple viewfinder

Infrared receiver

Perfect for self-portraits, or long exposures when touching the shutter release button could cause camera shake, the option- al Wireless Remote

Control ML-L3 is cord- less, allowing you to release the shutter from a distance.

Sure and comfortable

Exposure compensation is available with P/S/A/M modes
and can be very important for properly exposed pictures of
extremely bright or dark subjects. Increase the compensa-
tion for accuracy with extremely bright colors. For scenes
dominated by dark colors, simply lower the compensation
for pictures as your own eyes see them.	0	+1 EV

Retouch menu

Take advantage of the amazing in-camera image editing features built into the Retouch menu. The D40X makes it easy to crop, edit and enhance your images, all without the use of a computer. The Retouch menu includes Red-eye correction for correcting the red-eye effect caused by flash, Filter effects for changing an image’s color balance and Image overlay for creat- ing a double-exposure out of two selected RAW images. Simply select an image,

choose an effect and press L, and your new image is created and saved additionally on the memory card, leaving the original image intact.

Original Black-and-white

SepiaCyanotype

Monochrome: Give any in-camera image monochrome effects such as black and white, sepia tone (like antique photos) and cyanotype (B&W with a blue tint).

D-lighting:This amazing Nikon technology enhances the brightness and contrast of any in-camera image. Now pictures that were "almost perfect" can be even better. Ever had a picture where the faces were too dark? D-lighting may be the solution. It works wonders on pic-

tures taken in low light, mixed lighting or backlight- ing, adding extra punch to drab indoor images and drawing out colors muted by poor lighting.
