[QUOTE="NCHANT, post: 258883, member: 20787"] Hey, A good friend of mine has just bought one of these cameras and wants to learn a bit about photography. We've had a play with his camera, trying to get used to how it shoots etc, however I have a few questions on operation: For nights capes I like to use the 2 second delay, but with the D40X we have to keep selecting the 2 second timer. How can we set it so it STAYS on the 2 second timer? How can you set the Aperture in Manual mode? (sorry this is from a Canon user) The only way it works for me is if I go to AP mode, change it, then back to M? We're heading out tonight to shoot some cityscapes :) would be handy if we could figure this out. Cheers [/QUOTE]
