[QUOTE="Steptoe1962, post: 308169, member: 24784"] The 'Magic Lantern' DVD is [COLOR=#ff0000]invaluable[/COLOR], it teaches you everything that the boring manual tells you and a lot more. My main gripes with the D40 was that you[I] couldn't[/I] adjust the focus points - you can as I learned from the DVD. I always enjoyed black & white when I used film, according to the manual you have to convert the file in camera to BW, but the DVD teaches you how to set the camera to BW. So I have ordered orange and red 52mm filters. White balance was something that I never really understood and was reluctant to tamper with in film cameras, again the fellow in the DVD explains it in layman's terms. Looks like I'm going to have an interesting summer experimenting with the D40:) [/QUOTE]
