What is a fast lens for Nikon?

How do you increase shutter speed?
There should be a dial or arrows somewhere on your camera. Move the dial left or right/ arrows up or down depending on the shutter speeds you want. The shutter speed format is usually in 1/1000, 1/250, 1/30, 1/2, 1/4, etc. The higher the bottom number, the faster the shutter speed is.

What f-stop is considered fast?
f/2.8
A fast prime lens would be considered fast when it has a maximum aperture under f/2.8. However, if the lens is 300mm or longer, an aperture of f/2.8 would be considered to be fast and the same goes for zoom lenses.
Why do you want a fast lens?
A fast lens offers a wide aperture, and a wide aperture lets in more light – so you can capture well-exposed photos while using a faster shutter speed (compared to a slower lens, where you’ll need to reduce the shutter speed to get well-exposed photos, all else being equal).

The D40x has no Focus Mode Switch of its own. This is one of many ways the D40x saves money so it can do pretty much the same thing for $600 (with lens) as a D3 does, which costs $5,000 without lens . You can make the same selections in the menus.

How to use the AF-a sensor on the D40X?
The D40x uses whichever area you select with the rear AF Sensor Selector. I set AF-A, Nikon’s default, with MENU > Custom Setting (pencil) > 02 Focus Mode. I set Single Area in MENU > Custom Setting (pencil) > 03 AF-area mode. When shooting, I select a sensor (if I need to) and shoot away.
