Introduction to the Nikon D40, Video 10 of 12 (Setup Menu)

A great video. I bought this camera the year it came out and unfortunately had no idea what I was doing. I have a good book on it now and with your video's I already figured out so much. Thank you sir.

[@DavidHancock]

Hi sir,. I am having difficulties in shooting a video on Nikon d40 please help

[@DavidHancock]

The D40 is for still images only and does not record video.

[@sairasharma7888]

@@DavidHancock OK sir, thank you so so much

@@sairasharma7888 wow you use Nikon d40 this is my favorite and first DSLR 😊😊😊

[@andystarkiller7492]

Could u give me some tips for the zoom lens ? The more I zoom it feels like the more the image is foggy. What should I do for that ? Cause I'd like a clearer pic as I ordered a 70-300 mm lens

[@DavidHancock]

The kit 18-55mm lenses are only okay lenses. IF images lose sharpness as you zoom, that's par for the course. All zoom lenses have a range where they're best. For instance, my 70-300 is sharpest from 180 to 250, peaking at 250. Beyond 250, it's much softer. Your 18-55 may be sharpest from 24 to 35, or something like that, which is typical for these.

[@ArchLinuxTux]

Is there an image naming option of date+imgNumber

[@DavidHancock]

I don't recall there being one, no.
