I just picked this camera up yesterday and still haven't gotten a chance to play with it, but I did try touch screen AF. Love it, but every time I touch the screen to focus, it takes a picture. Since I shoot mostly video I can do without that feature. Is there a way to keep the camera from automatically taking a picture whenever I use touch AF?

See page 21 of the D5500 Reference Manual.
Thanks for responding, but Page 21 only explains how to access AF, among other settings. It doesn't give me the option of not taking a picture automatically after using touch screen focus.
EDIT: Oddly, the information I needed was available on page 21 of the pdf version, but not in the manual that comes with the camera. Thanks again. That did the trick.

Nikon, in their way, packages a very brief User Manual with a few models, and the much more complete Reference manual is online.
Both are available in PDF here: Nikon | Download center | D5500

No problem... The Reference Manual I linked you to is definitely the one to keep!

You received a CD with yours? Not in the box with my D5500, nor with the D7200.
Same here. I did, however, get that informative DVD on how to become an amateur photographer ;-)
