I recently bought the D40x. I want to use it in manual mode. However when I try to set the F/Number lower than F4.8 I can't and it goes up to F32. Is this normal? I've tried finsing out the F/number range but can't. Is there a problem with my camera or am I doing something wrong? I did try setting it when there wasn't much much light but this shouldn't affect it?
Many thanks for your help.

It's normal. The maximum aperture depends on the lens. F/4.8 is normal for a kit lens in the middle of its zoom range. You probably could get to F/4 or F/3.5 at the short end of the range, and only to F/5.6 at the long end.
