  Greater Convenience

  Shoot and share

  With SnapBridge, your photos instantly transfer to a compatible smartphone or tablet for fast, easy sharing.

  Get into the shot

  Use your smartphone as a camera remote to compose and snap portraits from a distance.

  Free cloud storage

  Stop wondering where your pictures are stored. Find them all on Nikon Image Space—securely and automatically.

  A familiar touch

  Swipe, pinch, zoom and even set focus with your fingertips, just like a smartphone. Flip out the beautiful high-resolution swiveling touch display and hold the camera at nearly any angle—the ultimate in creative composition.

  Faster Performance

  Freeze action in its tracks

  Wherever your subject is in the frame, one of the D5600's 39 autofocus points (3x more than the D3400) will lock on and hold tight.

  Never miss a moment

  Shoot fast action with confidence at 5 frames per second so you never miss that perfect moment, whether it's the game winning goal or the newlyweds' first dance.

  Better in Low Light

  Shoot from dawn to dusk with no problems. Nikon's EXPEED image processor combined with an outstanding autofocus system and the ability to shoot at ISO 25,600, and an expanded ISO sensitivity of 6,400 in Night Landscape mode, ensures low-light scenes and difficult lighting situations are handled with ease making the D5600 a low-light powerhouse. And when the lighting is extremely dim—or you want to eliminate shadows in a bright portrait—the D5600's built-in flash is at the ready to help illuminate any scene.

  More Creativity

  Enhanced Video Features

  Record cinema-quality Full HD footage with photo-like sharpness, vibrant color and crystal clear stereo sound. Pair the D5600 with an AF-P lens, which uses a stepping motor for smooth, near-silent autofocus, to ensure maximum audio fidelity. Create amazing time-lapse movies right in the camera.

  In-camera Tools

  Explore full manual mode when you're ready. Capture pictures with wide dynamic range using built-in HDR. The D5600 puts unlimited creative potential in your hands. Create eye-catching compositions thanks to the high-quality optical viewfinder, which delivers an incredibly clear view through the lens and when you want to focus on your subject, shooting through the viewfinder lets you block out sunlight and distractions.

  Welcome to the Nikon Imaging System

  Grow your capabilities as you go. The D5600 is compatible with most NIKKOR lenses, from close-up macro lenses to powerful telephoto zoom lenses. Take control of the lighting with Speedlight flashes, either on-camera or remote. Add a wired or wireless microphone and so much more.
