My d40x help.

OK

Set the camera to manual. How do I meter on camera?

On my fuji I had a thing like this |................| and then I had to make sure my line was in the middle.

I have the |...................| on the new camera but cannot work out how to put a line in the centre, if in fact thats what I have to do????

Hope I have explained this clearly.

thanks for any help.

Re: My d40x help.

Manual mode already Jols?! You're brave/mad

I would stick to auto and P modes for a few weeks, just so you get the hang of the camera.

I also recommend setting up your P mode to Ken Rockwells D40 guide
