These topics might not be about the D40 but the suggestions still apply to any DX camera:

Do you have a flash?
I shoot lots of nightclubs

I use normally 1/8th flash power
1/5th second shutter speed
f7.1 - f10
ISO 800-1200

Allways use manual mode as auto will confuse the camera due to the light being very fast moving and the camer wont understand
Whitebalance i allways use auto :)

Hope this helps.

Can anyone recommend some settings for use in nightclubs. ISO, Shutter, White balance etc. Should I use P, or S. Sorry to admit I tend to use Auto option too much and would now like to understand how to adjust my camera myself.

Thanks in advance for any replies. Please be gentle this is my first post. :-)

PS I did do a search first.
