I agree. I have realised that the sigma lens, even though it’s auto focus, it doesn’t with my D40. So I guess I will use my nikkor lens on auto Focus to get a sharper image. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Phil. Now I think have a better understanding. So am I right in thinking that if I was in manual mode and I zeroed the meter, the camera is doing the same as it would in Auto? but with it in manual/ semi-auto, I have the ability to adjust the exposure compensation? Please forgive me if...

Hi Jaycee, That sounds like a good idea, how are getting on with the camera settings now? I have been watching (a lot) of videos saying I should shot in A priority to start with. Is this something you advise? I was told that in auto the camera chooses what it thinks the photo should look like...

Thanks for the info. I have now set up a Flickr account. It looks a bit like instagram‍♂️ For now il upload them straight to the forum and see what happens.

Ah, hello fellow Cornish person I think wildlife is a bit advance for me at the minute. Still objects for me while I get use to the camera.

Ok. Would you suggest I used the auto focus? Or keep trying in manual mode?

Hi everyone, I posted in the beginners section earlier and already I’m receiving a warm welcome, so thank you!. Just a quick question though, what section is the best to upload my photos for people to comment on and hopefully give me some constructive criticism. (I’m a total novice to...

I have attached some photos that I took yesterday whilst at my local beach. I would very much appreciate your views on them and any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. Oh a photo of my sons new present for Christmas

Thanks. I will see how I go with the rocking.

I have tried this already and as you can imagine I don’t have the steadiest hand yet. I might invest in a tripod and see how I get on. Would you say this is a good idea?

Thank you for this. I will be taking your advice and start off with something simple.

I think you are correct. I can autofocus with the nikkor lens when I half press the shutter button, but when I do this with sigma nothing happens. So I’m guessing it doesn’t auto focus.

Thank you all for your replies, really appreciate them all. Before I even start thinking about upgrading the camera, as I know it’s pretty old, I’ll go out and start taking some photos and see how I get on. The lenses I was given were a, Sigma 105mm 1:2.8 DG Macro & the other one was a AF-S...

Hi All, I have inherited a Nikon D40 with x2 lenses. I don’t know how good/bad this camera is, so if someone can shed some light on this, that’ll be appreciated. It was my grandads camera who sadly passed away and am I wanting to use it and get into photography as a hobbie. I’m totally new to...
