Inspiration also comes easy when you discover new perspectives, thanks to the vari-angle LCD monitor and intuitive touch interface. With Bluetooth® and the Nikon SnapBridge app1 for automatic transfer of images to your compatible smart devices2, the D5600 is perfect for the connected world.
Share your creations on-the-go
Share your moments as they happen, with the D5600. With a one-time setup through the SnapBridge,1 app, the D5600 wirelessly connects to your compatible smart device2 via the built-in Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® or NFC3. The app maintains a constant connection, while automatically syncing still images for seamless online sharing. You can also use your smart device as an external monitor and shoot remotely for instances when you want to be in the picture.

Details at its finest
Capture amazingly sharp and tonally-rich images and videos, with the D5600’s DX-format CMOS image sensor. It’s built without an optical low-pass filter – enabling the full resolving power of its 24.2 effective megapixels. The EXPEED 4 image-processing engine also works to improve overall speed and performance in a variety of shooting situations. In dimly lit environments, the D5600’s wide standard ISO range of 100 to 25600 allows you to achieve crisp and sharp images – effectively suppressing noise.

Seize split-second moments
Be it a look, a smile or a candid expression – the D5600 captures all these emotions in vivid detail, with a high-speed continuous shooting rate of approximately 5 frames per second5. The 39-point autofocus (AF) system also covers a wide area of the frame, keeping track of your subjects with remarkable precision.

Discover a fresh point-of-view
Experiment with novel shooting styles from your very-own perspective – thanks to the touchscreen vari-angle LCD monitor, which can swivel up to 180°. For that artistic finishing touch – simply trim, resize, apply filters and special effects right from your screen using the retouch menu.

Intuitively designed for easy handling
Enjoy ease-of-use and intuitive control, with the D5600’s touch interface. Scroll through images swiftly with the all-new frame advance bar – or easily trim an area of the image by pinching it out. The touch Fn feature lets you make adjustments to pre-assigned camera settings using your thumb – without ever needing to look away from the viewfinder (including auto sensitivity control on/off switching).

Cinematic brilliance
Bring your stories to life and record Full HD videos at 1080/60p, with tack-sharp details, vibrant colors and stereo sound. Then discover new forms of creative expression, with the time-lapse movie function. It transforms scenes and subjects into dramatic, high-speed sequences – thanks to smooth exposure variations entirely in-camera.

Take it everywhere
Designed for portability, this lightweight camera features an innovative monocoque structure – strengthened with a carbon-fibre composite material that provides outstanding durability. With a long-lasting battery life that packs 970 shots per charge*6, this camera is undoubtedly your perfect travel companion.

Expand your horizons
The possibilities are endless, with an ever-expanding range of NIKKOR lenses and accessories. No matter your subject or scene, there’s a NIKKOR lens manufactured to the highest standards of optical quality to suit all your expressive photography needs.
