I have just got it working in Manual, although........I have to say it is very difficult for me to focus on anything, no chance of me getting any shots like yours
If hand held you will need f11, 1/200, flash on, then turn focusing ring until green dot appears in viewfinder, then rock back and forth until bit you want is in clear focus, then shoot.
If using a tripod I set my tripod up and adjust until I get subject more or less in focus, then I use my focus ring until I get the bit I want into sharp focus, press the self timer button, then shoot. As we have no DOF preview on D40X I just use different apertures until I get the DOF I want.
It's definitely tricky, but it gets there in the end.
