When attempting to edit images, which had already been edited using a computer, with options in the D40's retouch menu, the camera sometimes froze. Therefore, images that have been edited using a computer can no longer be edited using the camera.

Errors in English, Polish, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese menus have been corrected.
