New Nikon D5500 Firmware - v1.02: Nikon | Download center | D5500 • Fixed the following issues: - The camera would stop responding if the multi selector was pressed right with Add items > CUSTOM SETTING MENU > c Timers/AE lock selected in MY MENU. - The shutter would sometimes not be released...

Nikon have just released a new firmware for the D5500, version 1.01. The release notes say: • AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55​mm f/3.5–5.6G VR and AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55​mm 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...

I realise that this thread is a bit old and that you said you were going to live with the problem. I was beginning to think that my D5500 had a sensor which could detect fungus because my overexposures tended to be when I was taking live view shots of mushrooms. Anyway, I went away for a few...

Yes, I had similar thoughts. In the olden days with 35mm cameras, we often didn't see the photos for days or weeks and the results, as I remember, could be equally unpredictable but we usually took more time in preparing our shot as the 24 or 36 shots per roll were more precious. I think that I...

A year or so ago, I bought a second hand Coolpix 5700 for my girlfriend but it was listed as having a broken battery cover. It worked but one of the hinge pins was broken off so it was in danger of getting lost. I did a brief search for a replacement but came up with nothing apart from one site...

I'm afraid I haven't got around to speaking to Nikon yet; too many balls to juggle at the moment, But I have created an exposure graph which I want to produce before I phoned them which I have added to the page I posted previously. I took an 11x11 sample from the same point on each image...

Just to be clear, where the four images meet at the centre is where they would blend together if their exposures matched but as can bee seen, there is some difference. Incidentally, can somebody please tell me how to delete the superfluous attachments in my previous post, they were included in...

Ever since I got my first SLR, a Pentax ME Super, I have had a fascination with taking long exposure shots in near darkness. With my D70's lenses, there was still a distance scale on the lenses which allowed easy approximated focussing and the lens focussing stopped at infinity. However, since I...

Forgive me for bumping this but I would be grateful if somebody could spare a couple of minutes of their time to tell me if their D5500 behaves the same way; i.e. only disables the touch screen when showing the info screen below and no other - not the other info screen, not the menu screen or...

I haven't really bothered with the LCD screen when out taking photos but today I thought I'd play around to see how it feels. I was aware that there is a proximity sensor to automatically turn the display off when it detects one's face (or any other object) near the viewfinder and that when the...

I've only had my D5500 for a couple of weeks, so I am aware that I may be making a few errors here and there but I am getting a bit frustrated at settings seeming to change on their own. I could put some down to me experimenting but one instance in particular has me scratching my head...

I have had my D5500 for just over a week and I have taken about 60 photos in various conditions and none have been as sharp as I had been led to expect by what I have read about the absence of a low pass filter. I have been using the camera in Area Focus mode and mainly (for the time being) in...

I have been interested in photography for 35 years and have usually stuck with the same bit of kit for many years before upgrading. For 20 years, I had Pentax bodies having been persuaded to buy an ME Super in 1979 and it seemed to make sense to stick with one brand in order to get the most out...
