Ken Rockwell - D40 Users Guide

I followed the settings Ken Rockwell gives in his D40 users guide, and I'm pretty much always happy with the results. It's far easier to turn up the brightness than to deal with the loss of detail due to overexposure.

That's a great little refresher if you haven't done much photography in a while, like myself. Thanks for the link!

Of course he's not always right.... and sometimes I do have to tweak the exposure... but it's right on far more often than it otherwise would be if I left it at the default.

Found his D-40 app on itunes quick reference good to have. learned lots of things about the camera.

Firmware Defect #1: Nikon's firmware leaves Auto ISO active even in manual exposure mode. This makes the D40 change the ISO automatically and defeat the purpose of manual exposure. Remember to deactivate Auto ISO when using Manual exposure mode.
