Sorry this is too late, perhaps it will be useful to others. I hope you used a different lens for the wedding!

You can't use the 50mm 1.8 lens on the D40x unless you focus manually. This is because the D40x only supports autofocus with AF-S and AF-I lenses. The focus motor and drive mechanism for other AF lenses was omitted to make the camera smaller, lighter and cheaper.

I have a Nokon D40 DSLR and a Vivatar Zoom Thyristor 3500 flash that I want to fire off camera to capture high speed photos.I would have the D40 in dark room with shutter in bulb setting. any Ideas

You can either use a PC cord to connect the flash and camera, or you can use a remote trigger to fire the flash cordlessly. Your local camera store should be able to provide options for both.

Hi, i am using nikon d40 my problem is that i was using 18-55 lens after some years there was green spots on my pics when clicked,i started using 18-105 mm nikkor lens my problem was solved but now af

The D40 is a low end camera, but before you discard it, I would contact the closest Nikon repair depot (see the Nikon website for the location) and ask them for a repair estimate. You will then be able to decide if it is better to have it repaired or replace it with a newer model.

Sca 346/2AF M don't recognized on Nikon D40 like TTL

Film Cameras were NIKON TTL Nikon Digital Cameras are I-TTL. These two systems are not compatible. Film cameras did the metering in real time. When enough light struck the film the flash was turned off. With I-TTL the flash fires a quick flash and the image is quickly analyzed and the flash fires again to take the photo. With digital it is delayed and it is NOT in real time. The camera only looks at a few pixels to make the analysis fast. I hope this helps

Nikon D40 shutter speed problem

The D40 will not take great photos of an indoor event without blurring or noise. You need a fast lens and a high ISO using the popup flash or on camera flash would be ideal but some of these events you can not use flash. All these images I shot with a Nikon D40. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?src=fftb#/pages/Keller-TX/Raving-Design/78762448229?v=photos&ref=ts Learn to use the camera for ur events. Experiment it's all about trial and error. Ray
