The Nikon D5500, the first DX-format camera with a vari-angle touchscreen. Lightweight and powerful, this exceptionally portable D-SLR frees you to capture your best images yet…

From fast movement to challenging low-light situations, and from big prints to sumptuous movies, the D5500 is perfect for creative individuals ready to do more with their photography. The camera’s large DX-format image sensor and an ISO range of 100–25600 ensure you’ll capture crisp, clean images more often than ever before. Combined with the power of a compatible NIKKOR lens, you get images that explode with clarity. Even when printed large or shown on a big screen, your photos and movies will be crystal-clear reflections of the way you see the world.

Nikon service supplies software that can be used to update the D5500 camera “C” firmware to version 1.01 (2016-01-27). Before proceeding, select Firmware version in the camera SETUP MENU and check the camera firmware version. You will not need to download or install this update if this firmware is already installed.

Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.00 to 1.01 are as follows:

AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR and AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G lenses are now supported.
- Vibration reduction can be enabled or disabled using the new Optical VR option in the photo SHOOTING MENU, which is displayed when an AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR lens is attached.
- The CUSTOM SETTING MENU now contains an a5 Manual focus ring in AF mode option that can be enabled or disabled when an AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR or AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G is attached.
The following issues have been addressed:
- Noise would occur at four-second intervals in audio output to external recorders connected via HDMI in movie live view.
- Choosing negative values for Exposure compensation in the RETOUCH MENU > NEF (RAW) processing display did not have the desired effect.
- Selecting ON for Exposure smoothing during interval timer photography would result in all shots after the first being overexposed.
