Shutter speed is selected by rotating the command dial (right for faster speeds, left for slower). To adjust aperture, keep the E (N) button pressed while rotating the command dial (left for larger apertures/lower f-numbers and right for smaller apertures/higher f-numbers).
A Shutter Speed and Aperture Shutter speed and aperture are shown in the viewfinder and information display. Shutter speed Aperture Fast shutter speeds (1/1600 s in this example) freeze motion. Slow shutter speeds (here 1 s) blur motion. Large apertures (such as f/5.6; remember, the lower the f-number, the larger the aperture) blur details in front of and behind the main subject. Small apertures (f/22 in this case) bring both background and foreground into focus.
Exposure Compensation In P, S, A, h, and % modes, exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker (0 116). In general, positive values make the subject brighter while negative values make it darker. –1 EV No exposure compensation +1 EV To choose a value for exposure compensation, keep the E (N) button pressed and rotate the command dial until the desired value is selected in the viewfinder or information display.
Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure compensation to ±0. Except in h and % modes, exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off (in h and % modes, exposure compensation will be reset when another mode is selected or the camera is turned off ). A The Information Display Exposure compensation options can also be accessed from the information display (0 12).
Restoring Default Settings The camera settings listed below and on page 76 can be restored to default values by holding the G and R buttons down together for more than two seconds (these buttons are G button R button marked by a green dot). The information display turns off briefly while settings are reset.

Technical Notes Read this chapter for information on compatible accessories, cleaning and storing the camera, and what to do if an error message is displayed or you encounter problems using the camera. Compatible Lenses This camera supports autofocus with AF-S and AF-I CPU lenses only. AF-S lenses have names beginning with AF-S, AF-I lenses names beginning with AF-I. Autofocus is not supported with other autofocus (AF) lenses.
3 Shifting and/or tilting the lens interferes with exposure. 4 Can not be used with shifting or tilting. 5 Optimal exposure will only be achieved if the lens is at maximum aperture and the lens is not shifted or tilted. 6 AF-S or AF-I lens required. 7 With maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster. 8 When AF 80–200mm f/2.8, AF 35–70mm f/2.8, AF 28–85mm f/3.5–4.5 (New), or AF 28–85mm f/3.5–4.
Other Accessories At the time of writing, the following accessories were available for the D5500. Power sources • Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL14a (0 24): Additional EN-EL14a batteries are available from local retailers and Nikon-authorized service representatives. EN-EL14 batteries can also be used. • Battery Charger MH-24 (0 24): Recharge EN-EL14a and EN-EL14 batteries.
Viewfinder eyepiece accessories 98 • DK-5 Eyepiece Cap: Prevents light entering via the viewfinder from appearing in the photograph or interfering with exposure. • DK-20C Eyepiece Correction Lenses: Lenses are available with diopters of –5, –4, –3, –2, 0, +0.5, +1, +2, and +3 m–1 when the camera diopter adjustment control is in the neutral position (–1 m–1). Use eyepiece correction lenses only if the desired focus can not be achieved with the built in diopter adjustment control (–1.7 to +0.5 m–1).
Software Body cap Remote controls/ wireless remote controller Camera Control Pro 2: Control the camera remotely from a computer to record movies and photographs and save photographs directly to the computer hard disk. Note: Use the latest versions of Nikon software; see the websites listed on page xvii for the latest information on supported operating systems.
Microphones Accessory terminal accessories Stereo Microphone ME-1 The D5500 is equipped with an accessory terminal for WR-1 and WR-R10 wireless remote controllers , MC-DC2 remote cords, and GP-1/GP-1A GPS units, which connect with the H mark on the connector aligned with the F next to the accessory terminal (close the connector cover when the terminal is not in use).
Approved Memory Cards The following SD memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. Cards with class 6 or faster write speeds are recommended for movie recording. Recording may end unexpectedly when cards with slower write speeds are used.
Caring for the Camera Storage When the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry area with the terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration. Keep dry: This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage. Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes in temperature, such as those that occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the device.
Cleaning: When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in pure water and then dry the camera thoroughly. The lens and mirror are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with a blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent discharge of liquid.
Notes on the monitor: The monitor is constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device. Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
• Turning the camera on and off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten battery life. Batteries that have been fully discharged must be charged before use. • The internal temperature of the battery may rise while the battery is in use. Attempting to charge the battery while the internal temperature is elevated will impair battery performance, and the battery may not charge or charge only partially. Wait for the battery to cool before charging.
• Charge the battery before use. When taking photographs on important occasions, ready a spare battery and keep it fully charged. Depending on your location, it may be difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice. Note that on cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully charged before taking photographs outside in cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a warm place and exchange the two as necessary.

Battery Life The movie footage or number of shots that can be recorded with fully-charged batteries varies with the condition of the battery, temperature, the interval between shots, and the length of time menus are displayed. Sample figures for EN-EL14a (1230 mAh) batteries are given below.
The following can reduce battery life: • Using the monitor • Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway • Repeated autofocus operations • Taking NEF (RAW) photographs • Slow shutter speeds • Using the built-in Wi-Fi function or using an optional GP-1 or GP-1A GPS unit or WR-R10/WR-1 wireless remote controller • Using an Eye-Fi card • Using VR (vibration reduction) mode with VR lenses To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL14a batteries: • Keep the battery contacts clean.
