Nikon flash technology:
warmth and brilliance
Great light makes great pictures.
That’s why the D40
X
uses Nikon’s
incredible Built-in Flash technology,
ensuring soft, natural light — even
in dark or backlit situations. The camera does all
the calculations for you, and AUTO mode makes
it simple: just point and shoot, and the Built-in
Flash pops up when needed to apply
the right amount of light. Together
with Nikon’s wide array of external
Speedlights, sophisticated flash
photography becomes fast and fun.
So Bright, So Brilliant
Versatile Speedlight: SB-400
You’ll be amazed at what a little
extra light can do. The new SB-400
Speedlight was designed small,
portable and easy to use. Its large
guide number means it can throw
light for much greater distances,
and it can be tilted for the soft, nat-
ural light of a bounce flash. Nikon’s
exclusive i-TTL system is built-in,
ensuring accurate, consistent
results.
Nikon Exclusive Feature System #3: i-TTL Flash Control
Lighting used to be a delicate business, but Nikon’s industry-leading
i-TTL (Through The Lens) flash control technology makes it simple,
quickly evaluating and calculating each scene’s ideal lighting, even in
difficult backlighting situations. Another picture, another calculation
and another ideal exposure. Instantly. The D40
X
does all the work
for you. It’s never been easier, more accurate or more consistent —
thanks to Nikon’s advanced technology.
