A first for Nikon DSLR cameras, the D5500
 incorporates a touchscreen LCD monitor, giving you greater camera 
control. It features a 24.2 megapixel sensor and an EXPEED 4 image 
processor that provide high-resolution images and Full HD 1080p video 
with notable low-light sensitivity up to ISO 25600 and up to 5 fps. The 
optical low-pass filter is omitted from the sensor, allowing for 
additional sharpness in both photos and videos. The D5500 has a 39-point
 autofocus system with nine cross-type sensors and a 2,016-pixel RGB 
sensor for precise exposure metering in a wide variety of lighting 
conditions. Full HD videos can be shot at multiple frame rates up to 60 
fps, with full-time continuous auto focusing capabilities. The D5500 has
 selectable audio frequency ranges - Wide and Voice. It also has a 
built-in intervalometer to record up to 9,999 consecutive exposures at 
variable intervals.
The redesigned camera body is slightly smaller
 and lighter than its predecessor, and incorporates both an optical 
pentamirror optical viewfinder along with a large 3.2" 1,037k-dot 
vari-angle touchscreen LCD monitor, which features a 180° swivel design 
to better support working from high and low angles. A variety of 
touchscreen functions allow you to pinch to zoom, navigate menus, choose
 settings, and choose your focus point. An eye sensor turns the LCD 
monitor on and off, enables a Touch function, and starts the playback 
function when your eye moves away from the viewfinder.
 
 Built-in
 Wi-Fi enables advanced image sharing capabilities, and when paired with
 an Android or iOS mobile device, remote viewing and control over the 
shutter release is possible from a distance.
 
 A wide range of 
Picture Control modes, Scene Modes, and Special Effects modes are 
available as well as in-camera image editing capabilities for adjusting 
settings prior to sharing. Built-in HDR and Active D-Lighting modes can 
also be used to optimize exposure results by preserving highlight and 
shadow details for an extended range of apparent tones.
 
 
Included with the D5500 body is the wide-angle to telephoto zoom AF-S DX
 NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens, which features VR image 
stabilization to minimize camera shake to suit working in dimly-lit 
conditions and with longer focal lengths. One aspherical element and one
 extra-low dispersion element are integrated into the lens' design to 
minimize aberrations and optimize image sharpness and an SWM autofocus 
mechanism is used to acquire focus quickly, silently, and accurately.
