Adjusting Diopter Correction
If you are a glasses wearer and want to use the
D5500 without your glasses, or to add fur-
ther correction, you can take advantage of the
camera’s built-in diopter adjustment, which
can be varied from –1.7 to +0.5 correction.
Press the shutter release halfway to illuminate
the indicators in the viewfinder, then move
the diopter adjustment control next to the
viewfinder (see Figure 1.4) while looking
through the viewfinder until the indicators
appear sharp. Should the available correction
be insufficient, Nikon offers nine different
Diopter-Adjustment Viewfinder Correction
lenses for the viewfinder window, ranging
from –3 to +1, at a cost of $16 to $20 each.
Inserting and Formatting a Memory Card
Next, insert a memory card. Slide the cover on the right side of the camera
toward the back, and then open it. Inside, you’ll find an SD card slot. You
should only remove the memory card when the camera is switched off, or, at
the very least, when the yellow-green card access light (just above the Trash
button on the back of the camera) that indicates the D5500 is writing to the
card is not illuminated.
Insert the memory card with the label facing the back of the camera, oriented
so the edge with the gold connectors goes into the slot first (see Figure 1.5).
Close the door, and, if this is your first use of the card, format it (described
next). When you want to remove the memory card later, press the card inward,
and it will pop right out.
