5 Tips for Shooting with Nikon D5500 / D5600 

How to eye focus on d5600?

@@kevinjansen9583 you mean the diopter? the dial at right of viewfinder - look into viewfinder, then turn dial as you bring the numbers on viewfinder screen into YOUR best focus; that is your setting.

You're welcome, thank you for watching!

this is what I did to mine too ever since. >,

Oh my goodness, thanks so much for that one! I've watched countless video's on this camera and no one has mentioned this.

It should be set that way out of the box.

Is there any recommendations on what the ISO should be on if you take a picture?? I always use it on 250... Should i change it to something else? I know it depends on how bright it is outside/inside, but if it's normal brightness, what should i put it on?

100

DxO testings are within a margin of error, real-life results are the same.

There's no straight answer for this, the best thing for you to do would be to just go out and shoot but while doing that make sure you use the Liveview instead of the viewfinder...the one advantage of Liveview is that it shows you almost exactly how the photo will look like after you take it. If what you see on the screen is too bright then the photo will most likely come out over-exposed and vice versa...fine tune everything as you watch the changes on the screen

Glad to hear that!

Thanks, Nikons are worth trying (for stills).

You're welcome!

Thanks, personally I haven't tested AF-P 18-55, so I know just what I have header.

I use subtitle for this video, it helped quite a bit 😅

I am English and it is still way too fast

slow down the video

Just slow the video lol or pause it

Menu je dosť neprehľadné, takže aspoň tak sa to dá trochu zjednodušiť.

I unfortunately don't know, I haven't used it. You will get the best image quality with Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 if you need longer focal range, and optical stabilization, Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 is very good lens.

Thank you for your feedback and subscription, this was one of my early videos I try to talk slower in my new videos.

Yes, D5600 is a low-end and outdated camera.

No, I want to control aperture all the time, so I prefer to set that manually.

That depends on the specific cameras that you are looking at.

@@TheHybridShooter Thank you very much for the swift responce. I was considering sony 6100, panasonic gx9 and canon m50. 5600 still on the list due to inexpensive wide angle lengs (10-20 dx), cannot find one for such a price for mirrorles.

@@bohdanlonyuk9727 GX9 and A6100, are booth good cameras. I don't recommend M50. You can use various cheaper DSLR ultra-wide lenses on mirorless with adapter.

@@TheHybridShooter Thank you again for your time you take to answer. Would you advise m.zuiko 9-18 mm for gx9? Will auto focus work properly?

You're welcome and thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Post means post-production. The Software that I use to edit photos is Adobe Lightroom.

Try Darkroom: opensource, free and incredible!

Those were just examples of good lenses, there is a lot of great lenses for Nikon DX.

Z Nismo my god the accuracy! 😂

Yes this is the reason I couldn't catch on in school

great information all around, but i had to rewind and pause many times just to here what the heck you were saying about the lenses

I second that motion! I’m from NY where many ppl speak fast, but he takes the cake.

Guys, there is an option to make the video go slower. Settings/Speed/

I feel like I'm on 50 Cent's side here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNy-Yl4vn7U.html

The difference will be extremely small, buying D5600 in 2022 is a very bad idea.

@@TheHybridShooter Maybe. But I just love the fun and simple usability of them and they are more powerful than people would expect

That is actually Canon version that I use with MC-11 adapter on my Sony A6500, so I can't show you how it works on D5500, sorry about that.

it works perfectly with d5500

I use this lens with my D5600. It is my "go to" lens for most of my shooting. Fast, crisp and clean @ 35mm and produces great "bokeh" @ 18mm when I use it close in. I got a used model (without VR) for about $600 and I can't speak highly enough about it. It's fast @ 1.18

Good for you!

It sure is :-)

Rado sa stalo!

Yes it will work.

Yes it will. I am using that combination and its very versatile.

islem aissa 750d. Expensive

@islemaissa If you need compact (you can carry it anywhere you want to) camera and need more autofocus then go for a6000 and for great battery life and for lenses go with Nikon idk about 750d

Shutter speed depends upon iso adjust iso

Low light, your ISO setting, your aperture setting can give a slow shutter speed. Or you do have exposure delay mode turned on in the custom setting menu?

No, I don't recommend buying DSLR in 2020. Mirrorless camera such as Sony A6100 is much better choice.

@@TheHybridShooter but this is much cost in my country. For that I just ask... I just want to use it like a hobby or to get any money in late stage. D5600 do good shoots and pictures or no?

@@megakilled9312 D5600 is a beginner camera. I used Nikon D5xxx series for many years but if I would buy a beginner camera today I wouldn't buy a D5600. The D5600 is very good for this price point but it is still a DSLR (doesn't mean it's bad - some prefer an optical viewfinder) and not mirrorless and doesn't film in 4K. If you like Nikon you could go for a Z 50 (but consider that there are only 2 lenses available for this camera to use without adapter!). Otherwise a Sony A6400, A6100 or A6300 (6300 is older but cheaper). Also look at Canon M50 and Fuji X-T30 or the Olympus M10 Mark III (Olympus has smaller Micro 4/3 sensor!). Try the camera in a store to see if it feels good in your hand. All these cameras have good image quality for beginner-cameras, good pictures are made by good photographers ;-)

@@patrick.771 I do not like those small cameras :)

@@megakilled9312 Most bigger ones are DSLR's but if that's okay for you it is fine! Nikon D7500, Canon 90d, Panasonic G9, G91, G81, G70 (mirrorless) ... for example. Canon 200d is also a DSLR beginner camera and cheaper but no 4k video :)

I would currently choose a mirrorless camera - Sony A6300 / A6000 or Panasonic G85.

Sony A6500

I unfortunately can't help you with that, I don't use flash at all with D5500, sorry about that.

It's probably not possible because of the limitation of the shutter curtain traveling across in a slit rather than fully opening for the shot. The flash duration is so short it would just capture a view of the slot. The camera shutter curtain just can't physically move fast enough to open and close fully for the high shutter speeds, so it needs to limit it by not fully opening.

I unfortunately don't use flashes at all, so I can't help you there.

Amazon Basics nikon flash is actually a really good flash.

Depends on what type of pictures you want to shoot. I shoot automotive for the most part and use 18, 35, and 50mm for the most part. For portraits I use 50mm and 75mm, landscapes I recommend 16-24mm but it depends on the situation. Nature stuff like animals I use a 70-300mm.. I won’t go into detail on aperture but if u want blurred backgrounds look for lenses with fastest apertures between f/1.4 to f/2.8

@@reapermedia1937 i just want a hot nice picture like instagramers model thing, so idk if d5600 is up to this anyway and idk what lenses it needs, what do you recommend

Ayman and his friends vas pavepe try the nikkor 35mm f/1.4, or the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 if you have a smaller budget within 200-$380 but if your budget is bigger look at the sigma 35mm f/1.4

@@reapermedia1937 maybe you mean nikkor f/1.8 for small budget?? Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G price about 1700€... More then Sigma.

Unfortunately not.

Hic hic

First of all, I would recommend buying mirrorless camera - A6100, X-T200 or even A6000.

Thanks for your answer but i really want the d5600, i was asking You If is 18-55 better in any way and should buy IT instead of 18-140.

I never tried either of those.

You're welcome!

It is in the description Shot on Sony A6500 - amzn.to/2FCU9cG Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN amzn.to/2zjwXgr Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art - amzn.to/2BDdM7r Sigma MC-11 Adapter - amzn.to/2DBQSLd Rode VideoMic Pro - amzn.to/2ntfr5A

I do not know what to choose for photos and videos panasonic g80,85 nikon d5600 sony a6500

I would choose Sony A6500 at the moment.

in what format do you shoot a video 4k or FHD

40 mm F2.8 is my most favorite macro lens, zoom lens - depends on preferred focal range.

The Hybrid Shooter thank you.

I use the Tamron 90mm 2.8. Very sharp images

larry indvik thank you.

Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM.

I think that was the 18-105mm

Allen Samuel If you are referring to the hood shown in the 18-105mm at 4:05, it is the HB-32.

Yes, it is.

@@TheHybridShooter what about quality of the photos that will come out in this combination?

Áno, som.

I unfortunately don't understand you question.

Depends on the lenses are the requirements.

The Hybrid Shooter I’m going to shoot a wedding but For my family so I’m not getting paid or anything just need a good set up for a lower budget

?

Nikon DX system is still a good starting point, because it is cheap. I actually wouldn't recommend to invest to FX system or go from Nikon DX to FX at all in 2018. Especially now that Sony A7 III was announced and Nikon and Canon have also announced that they will concentrate on mirrorless in the future.

canon and nikon will still use the current full frame glass on their mirrorless systems i bet. sony's are great and i've owned two, but they arent the work horses that canon and nikon offer due to their unreliable auto focus and poor battery life. although they have addressed those issues recently. the only real thing sony offers at the moment is video and a ridiculous 20fps, otherwise the d850 is the heavy hitter at the moment

No one knows that. Mirrorless requires completely different lens construction, so FX lenses would have to be used with some built-in adapter to compensate for the flange distance. At the moment nothing beats AF of A9 and the same system will be used A7 III. Sony offers much more, for example smaller form factor, IBIS, better video capabilities, better live-view functionality and so on.

Rusty Nugget DX is great. Has amazing lenses and iq of apsc is top notch. I moved from a D800 to apsc. Have also used M43, another amazing system, any system is as good as it's user.

FX lenses while using in DX camera have to be multipled by 1.5 crop factor and f stops

Learn English first

Thank you, I appreciate your subscription!

Skinner31 to me has been an amazing camera for portrait/urban portraits

Definitely not a 'low end' camera'.

It is almost 2 years old video, I was a beginner in making videos back then.

This is great camera for stills, but for video, it is probably the worst choice in that category. You can take a look at this video, to improve some of it, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FFUlyuWp1job.htmlut there are much better cameras for video out there.

Dont kid yourself. If you actually used this DSLR with some good glass then you'll see it has better image quality in almost all situations than using a phone camera.

In still yes, but in video, he is actually right, the codec on these DLSRs is very poor and modern smartphones will deliver better results in good light.

If and only if in good light which is the big limitation on a smartphone.

exactly, in good lihjt smartphone is better, only in medium or poor light the nikon is better

I definitely wouldn’t love dropping a grand on this camera, have you really done that?

@@TheHybridShooter nooo lol shopping around
