  1. <p>I would like to know from one of the more experienced photographers, with my 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses, how close (or far away) must you be from your subject? For example, with my old p&s, I know I must be at least 1m away from my subject, otherwise it doesn't focus. So with my new D40, what is the closest that I can stand to my subject? Is there any way of working out how far away I must stand?</p>
  2. <p>Thank you for the response! I have read the manual, but it only tells me where to adjust the settings, not really how to adjust the settings for a specific scene...but I guess I have to play around a bit and see what happens!</p>
  3. <p>Hi, everyone! I'm new to this forum and also a proud (and new) Nikon D40 owner...only problem is, I have no idea how to use my camera - it's much more complicated than a p&s! So, anyone up for a challenge to help me to get to know my camera, and answering LOTS of questions, please let me know!</p>
  4. <p>Hi, I am new to this forum and also a new owner of a D40. I must say, I have no idea how to use my camera! I am used to my old p&s, but would now like to take pictures without using auto settings. I do not, however, seem to be able to figure out what settings to use!! I sort of know how to select say, aperture and shutter speed, but I do not know what settings to use to take 'normal' pictures.</p>

    <p>I hope someone on this forum will be able to help me - someone with lots of patience!</p>
