    This is the common issue faced by many people. there is no solution for that you will have to adjust lens manually. Focusing a 50mm lens manually on the D40 is very difficult. you can take some guidance from any professional photographer. because a small mistake will cost you a big amount of money.

    For your information D40 doesn't support 50mm lenses. camera won't provide any help. if you want to use the 50mm lens then you will have to get back to basics of using digital camera. Nikon D200 and D300 are the only cameras which supports 50mm lens.

    The 500 mm lens will work perfect with your nikon D40, lens is only good if used in or at the 1.8 setting only. the only thing is that you will have to work with manual focus. or else buy Nikon 50mm F/1.4 AF-S. it will give you auto focus facility.
