How to eye focus on d5600?

[@debracarriere9051]

@@kevinjansen9583 you mean the diopter? the dial at right of viewfinder - look into viewfinder, then turn dial as you bring the numbers on viewfinder screen into YOUR best focus; that is your setting.

Another tip, set the fn button to control your iso for faster iso manual switching

[@4lb280]

Oh my goodness, thanks so much for that one! I've watched countless video's on this camera and no one has mentioned this.

[@TheHybridShooter]

It should be set that way out of the box.

[@Mosestylez]

Is there any recommendations on what the ISO should be on if you take a picture?? I always use it on 250... Should i change it to something else? I know it depends on how bright it is outside/inside, but if it's normal brightness, what should i put it on?

About 18 months ago I purchased my first Z6. 4 weeks later I sold my DSLR's and lens collection. However, I kept a red D5500 along with a couple of lenses. I don't use it a lot, (I feel mirrorless is the way to go) but when I do use it, I feels like I returned home. NICE camera and nice post.

[@anthonyc1883]

Thanks for this. In 2013, I purchased two Nikon refurbished D5100 with the intention of replacing them in a few years with new tech, while keeping my good Nikon glass. Now that both the D5500 and D5600 are showing up from time to time on Adorama as Nikon Refurbished, this video is helpful (although I'm no stranger, coming from the D5100). Interestingly, DxOMark rates the D5500 as a bit better at high ISOs. Hmm.

[@TheHybridShooter]

DxO testings are within a margin of error, real-life results are the same.

[@leonkennedy4061]

What is the best recommended settings to shoot vlogs and selfies with this camera?

[@BH-kf7xz]

Hey im a very new user to the nikon and have never used one of these cameras before. What i wanted to ask is how do you get all 3 exposures and then combine them 3 exposures to produce the best results ? Thanks

[@EugeneSabayi]

There's no straight answer for this, the best thing for you to do would be to just go out and shoot but while doing that make sure you use the Liveview instead of the viewfinder...the one advantage of Liveview is that it shows you almost exactly how the photo will look like after you take it. If what you see on the screen is too bright then the photo will most likely come out over-exposed and vice versa...fine tune everything as you watch the changes on the screen

@@megakilled9312 D5600 is a beginner camera. I used Nikon D5xxx series for many years but if I would buy a beginner camera today I wouldn't buy a D5600. The D5600 is very good for this price point but it is still a DSLR (doesn't mean it's bad - some prefer an optical viewfinder) and not mirrorless and doesn't film in 4K. If you like Nikon you could go for a Z 50 (but consider that there are only 2 lenses available for this camera to use without adapter!). Otherwise a Sony A6400, A6100 or A6300 (6300 is older but cheaper). Also look at Canon M50 and Fuji X-T30 or the Olympus M10 Mark III (Olympus has smaller Micro 4/3 sensor!). Try the camera in a store to see if it feels good in your hand. All these cameras have good image quality for beginner-cameras, good pictures are made by good photographers ;-)

For portraits I use 50mm and 75mm, landscapes I recommend 16-24mm but it depends on the situation. Nature stuff like animals I use a 70-300mm.. I won’t go into detail on aperture but if u want blurred backgrounds look for lenses with fastest apertures between f/1.4 to f/2.8

[@TheHybridShooter]

I unfortunately can't help you with that, I don't use flash at all with D5500, sorry about that.

[@dtrrtd774]

It's probably not possible because of the limitation of the shutter curtain traveling across in a slit rather than fully opening for the shot. The flash duration is so short it would just capture a view of the slot. The camera shutter curtain just can't physically move fast enough to open and close fully for the high shutter speeds, so it needs to limit it by not fully opening.

[@rustynugget2288]

just be aware of buying DX lenses. if you ever get really into photography and want to go full frame your DX lenses are no good. FX lenses cost more, but they also retain more value and some are outstanding for not a lot of money (nikon 50/1.8, samyang 14/2.8 for example)

[@TheHybridShooter]

Nikon DX system is still a good starting point, because it is cheap. I actually wouldn't recommend to invest to FX system or go from Nikon DX to FX at all in 2018. Especially now that Sony A7 III was announced and Nikon and Canon have also announced that they will concentrate on mirrorless in the future.

[@rustynugget2288]

canon and nikon will still use the current full frame glass on their mirrorless systems i bet. sony's are great and i've owned two, but they arent the work horses that canon and nikon offer due to their unreliable auto focus and poor battery life. although they have addressed those issues recently. the only real thing sony offers at the moment is video and a ridiculous 20fps, otherwise the d850 is the heavy hitter at the moment

[@TheHybridShooter]

No one knows that. Mirrorless requires completely different lens construction, so FX lenses would have to be used with some built-in adapter to compensate for the flange distance. At the moment nothing beats AF of A9 and the same system will be used A7 III. Sony offers much more, for example smaller form factor, IBIS, better video capabilities, better live-view functionality and so on.

[@fsi2210]

Rusty Nugget DX is great. Has amazing lenses and iq of apsc is top notch. I moved from a D800 to apsc. Have also used M43, another amazing system, any system is as good as it's user.
