Manual download for Nikon D40 Digital Camera

You absolutely cannot select any other language on Japanese domestic SONY models. The professional line up of camcorders come with an English selection in the menu, but not the consumer models.
Suggestions by well intentioned but ill-informed people to follow the menu in the English user guide, will not get you anywhere. The Japanese models do not include this item in the menu. Plain and simple.
Visitors to Japan should be careful when purchasing items here as they more often than not only include Japanese manuals. SONY and Panasonic also only include English menus in their cameras. Canon and Nikon do have an English selection, but this should be confirmed at the point of purchase not after returning to your country!! Furthermore, warranties are usually only valid for Japan.

Try this update link to 1.7.6 (latest update provided for the ones who already have Picture Project)

This is the Nikon support web page that has the firmware updates for your camera. Current Firmware downloads available for Nikon products Nikon... The D40 is near the bottom of the list. Follow the instructions carefully.

I bought a camera in Japan (Sony Cybershot DSC-WX1) and now it seems that i can't change the language from japanese to english. If i select (can't read it but with the help of the english digital guide i think i have the right menu)change language, there seems to be only one language available. -japanese- How do I solve this?

go to
http://www.preseps.com/nikon-d40-dslr-camera-user-s-manual.html
and download the manual and then burn it to a CD.

Hey reynante,
You should be able to change the language back to English under the settings menu which starts on page 62 of your camera manual and the language setting manual is designated by a letter A inside of a box as shown on page 69 of your camera manual. I have included a link to a PDF download of your camera manual in case you need it. I hope this helps!

Go Ahead. Use Us.

Autofocus function on the D40 only supports lenses with the
AF-S feature, which have an autofocus motor built into the lens,
instead of using an autofocus motor drive built into the camera.

The Tamron lens you have, does not have a built in motor and
the autofocus function relies on the motor drive in the camera.

It will not work with the D40 or D60, but it will work with other
Nikon digital SLRs, such as the D80. Need to get an AF-S
type lens or upgrade to different Nikon digital SLR. Unless
you do this, you will have to manually focus the Tamron lens.

All of the Nikon DX (for digital) series lenses are also AF-S
type, so they will work with the D40, which is designed as
an entry level digital SLR, therefore it is intended primarily
for use with DX lenses, which are typically sold in a kit with
the D40. Most common one is Nikkor 18-55mm DX AF-S.

Other Nikon AF-S lenses made for film cameras (FX type)
will also work with the D40, but these tend to be expensive
professional models. DX series lenses tend to be more
affordable. You might consider the 18-200mm DX AF-S
as an alternative to the Tamron, but these are not cheap.

try this - describes the reset on page 14 or the language menu on page 35 http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40/users-guide/d40-users-guide.pdf hope this helps:)
