Bring your creativity to life with the new D5600
Whenever you come across interesting scenes, the D5600 promises to preserve such moments of inspiration in high-quality images. That’s thanks to a combination of unrivaled Nikon technologies working together. The camera’s DX-format CMOS image sensor is designed without an optical low-pass filterLOW-PASS FILTERAlso called an Anti-aliasing Filter.
A filter made of a birefringent material, such as Lithium Niobate, placed infront of the image sensor. The filter's purpose is to reduce moiré, caused by large scale interference between fine textures and patterns in the image and the fine matrix pattern of the image sensor. The low-pass filter works by scattering any optical point in the image into a cluster of four, and effectively causing micro blur and thus removing the aliasing and consequently the moiré pattern. Some high-end cameras are deliberately designed without any low-pass filter in order to maximize the sharpness of the captured image - possible moiré is the trade-off. (OLPF), to bring out the full resolving power of its 24.2 effective megapixelPIXELThe shortening of 'picture element', a basic unit of programmable colour forming the dots that make up an image. Pixel size depends on a camera’s resolution, which is measured in megapixels (MP), meaning millions of pixels. The more pixels on a sensor, the smaller they have to be to fit. An image's number (or density) of pixels correlate to the amount of information and image holds. Cameras with more pixels on the sensor have a higher pixel density and thus more resolving power, able to capture smaller details with much more clarity and accuracy. Higher resolution images can be cropped more agressively and also produce better quality large prints.s. Combined with the powerful EXPEED 4 image-processing engine and the more faithful rendering of NIKKOR lenses, it achieves exquisite detail reproduction. Finally, there’s Nikon’s image creation system, Picture Control, which helps you to achieve the desired images.

- ISO ISO Exposure is controlled by three elements: Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. The ISO speed determines how sensitive a camera's sensor is to incoming light. A higher ISO speed absorbs more light, resulting in a brighter exposure, however, a higher ISO also results in more digital noise in low-light conditions. Cameras with larger sensors (like full-frame cameras) typically have higher ISO speed capability and produce less digital noise at high ISO settings. Digital cameras include a control for adjusting ISO speed, some of which can be set to adjust automatically in combination with certain other exposure settings. ISO is indicated in numbers usually starting at 100 and going upward (200, 400, 800, 1600 etc.) doubling in sensitivity each time. Most cameras also indicate 3rd stop intervals (100, 125, 180, 200 etc.)100-25600 & 5 fps shooting

Move in Low Light with ISO 100-25600 & Superb NoiseNOISEThe appearance of random pixels scattered over a photo, similar to the grain effect seen in film photography, which degrades photo quality almost as if it is stained. It occurs when taking photos in low-light conditions, with very slow shutter speeds on high sensitivity (ISO) settings. It is caused by amplification done by the sensor when high ISO settings are used. You can counteract digital noise by lowering the sensitivity (ISO) setting of your camera - the lower the ISO setting, the lower the noise in the image. Typically cameras with larger sensors (like full-frame cameras) will inherently produce less noise due to larger pixels on the sensor. Reduction
When light is beautiful but scarce, such as in night scenes or dimly lit interiors, the D5600’s wide standard ISO range of 100 to 25600 allows you to keep shooting crisp, clean images. Using a high ISO setting also enables you to shoot at faster shutter speedSHUTTER SPEEDAperture, shutter speed and ISO form what is known as the exposure triangle in photography. Shutter speed is the length of time that a single frame is exposed for, more specifically how fast the shutter opens and closes to permit light entering the lens, to reach the sensor. A slow shutter speed means a longer exposure time useful for motion blur like the silky look of flowing water, whereas a fast shutter speed means a shorter exposure time useful for freezing the appearance of motion in images like a hummingbird in flight. It is measured in seconds starting at 1 second and halving our doubling in time.
For example: 1/2s, 1/4s and 1/8s are all fractions of a second with 1/2s being the longest exposure time, 1/4s half of that and 1/8s another half etc.s, letting you take blur-free pictures with less noise without using a flash.
Shoot in Difficult Light for Active D-Lighting / HDR
When shooting scenes with drastic contrastCONTRASTThe difference between areas of different brightness levels in a photograph: A high-contrast image has a greater difference between light and dark areas, whereas a low-contrast image has a narrow range of tones. Contrast is used to direct a viewer’s attention to a photographer’s subject either with colour contrast (bold versus duller colours) or tonal contrast (bright versus darker tones). s in lighting, such as a subject backlit against the sky, the D5600 gives you two options:
- Active D-Lighting adjusts the contrast to render the scene in true-to-life brightness, and can be used for moving subjects.
- HDR produces a single, striking image by taking two shots at different exposureEXPOSUREExposure is controlled by three elements: Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Achieving the correct exposure is similar to collecting rain in a bucket, up to an optimum level. The rate of rainfall is out of your control (light), yet you can control these three factors: the bucket’s width (lens aperture), the duration you leave it in the rain (shutter speed), and how effective your bucket is in collecting rain (ISO). These three elements work together to control the amount of light per unit area, preventing underexposure (too dark) or overexposure (too bright), giving you a natural looking image.s with a single shutter release and combining the highlights and shadows of the two. This function works best with stationary subjects.
Touch Operation
The D5600’s highly refined touch interface makes a range of operations incredibly intuitive to use. Its newly added frame advance bar (as on the D500 and D5) allows you to scroll through sequences of images at high speed, and it is possible to specify the area of an image to be trimmed by pinching out. The touch Fn feature lets you make adjustments to a pre-assigned camera setting using your thumb, without looking away from the viewfinder, and now includes auto sensitivity control on/off switching. With these features and more, handling the camera comes naturally, just like using a smart device.
Operations available via the D5600’s touch screen:
- Shooting: Touch shutter, touch AF
- Setting: Touch Fn, scene / effect selection, shutter speed and apertureAPERTUREAperture, shutter speed and ISO form what is known as the exposure triangle in photography. Aperture refers to an opening inside the lens, similar to the iris of your eye, that changes in diameter to control the amount of light that enters a camera. Aperture is expressed in f-stops: the lower the number, the larger the aperture, e.g. f/1.4 is larger than f/8. A larger (or wider) aperture allows more light to pass through the lens to the sensor (film) as a picture is taken, particularly useful in low-light conditions. A larger aperture also produces a shallower depth-of-field, and thus more background blur. setting, shooting option change, menu operation
- Playback: View other images, scroll rapidly to other images (frame advance bar), zoom in (photos only), view thumbnails, view movies
Long-Life Battery
You don’t have to worry about your battery running out while taking pictures with the D5600. Its efficient, energy-saving design allows you to shoot approx. 970 shots per charge with the EN-EL14a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery. Even when the camera is constantly connected to your smart device via SnapBridge for automatic image transfer, you can keep going for hours.
Note: Battery power is used for wireless communication even when the camera is turned off. If you do not want to use automatic image transfer, please change the “Send while off” setting to “Off”. Based on CIPA Standards. When Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is not used.
Tailor-Made Modes for Each Scene
If you aren’t sure what camera settings to use, you can let the D5600 decide for you. Its 16 scene modes give you optimised settings for a broad range of situations — whether you’re at an indoor party or taking shots of pets. In live view, simply activate the scene auto selector, and the camera will pick the most appropriate mode.
- Scene modes: Portrait ∙ Landscape ∙ Child ∙ Sports ∙ Close up ∙ Night portrait ∙ Night landscape ∙ Party / indoor ∙ Beach / snow ∙ Sunset ∙ Dusk / dawn ∙ Pet portrait ∙ Candlelight ∙ Blossom ∙ Autumn colours ∙ Food
- Scene auto selector: Auto* ∙ Auto (flash off)* ∙ Portrait ∙ Landscape ∙ Close up ∙ Night portrait
Follow the Action
Sometimes the best moments last for just the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the D5600 can keep up with the action. Thanks to its high-speed continuous shooting rate of 5 fps with high AF performance, you’ve got a much better chance of capturing the decisive moment — with vivid detail delivered by the high pixel count.
When you’re capturing fast-moving action, you want a clear view of what’s happening. That’s when a DSLR’s optical viewfinder comes in handy. Whether you’re shooting a sports match or a rock gig, you can follow your subjects in real time, letting you concentrate on shooting. Unlike taking pictures with a smart device, viewfinder shooting encourages you to maintain a secure grip of the camera, keeping it level and minimizing camera shake.
Some subjects move too quickly and erratically. The D5600’s autofocus system helps you acquire and keep track of your target with remarkable precision, using 39 focus points that cover a wide area of the frame. Choose from multiple AF-area modes depending on what you’re shooting: single-point AF, dynamic-area AF, 3D-tracking and auto-area AF.
High-Quality Video & Audio
Full HD D-Movie at 1080/60P
Record all the action in high-quality Full HD and at a frame rate of 60p, which renders fast action incredibly smooth. The D5600’s vari-angle monitor and in-camera time-lapse movie function help fuel your creativity further, while the NIKKOR lens lineup will make you the envy even of professional filmmakers.
Advanced Audio with Built-In Microphone
If you’re looking to create more professional-style movies, the importance of sound quality can’t be overstated. The D5600 has a quality built-in stereo microphone, and you can also attach an optional Nikon ME-1 Stereo Microphone, which picks up less noise caused by the lens operating the autofocus. Both microphones can be fine-tuned automatically, or manually in 20 incremental steps using the camera monitor.
Connect & Share
Share in Real-Time
Imagine how easy it would be to post your pictures online if they were saved to your smart device as soon as you took them. The SnapBridge application creates a constant connection between the D5600 and a compatible smart device via Bluetooth, meaning pictures are automatically transferred as you shoot. The image transfer process continues unaffected even when the camera is stored in a bag nearby. It’s also possible to transfer images and movies via Wi-Fi® by selecting the files in the app.
Connect Instantly to TVs & Monitors
The D5600’s movies and stills may look good on the camera monitor — but just wait until you’ve seen them on a large HDTV screen. It’s easy to hook up the camera to external screens using its HDMI mini-pin connector (Type C). And since the D5600 is compatible with HDMI-CEC, you can operate it using a TV remote control from the comfort of your couch.
