Touch control

It’s here! And the screen is beautifully responsive

The D5500’s touchscreen is very responsive and can be used for navigating the menu, making settings adjustments and setting the AF point. It’s even possible to set one of seven features (AF point, sensitivity, Active D-Lighting, HDR, bracketing, AF-area made, viewfinder grid and aperture) via the screen when the camera is held to the eye.

We’ll need to experiment with a full-production sample, but we suspect that it will be best to make on-screen adjustments with the screen flipped out to the side when looking through the viewfinder in order to avoid making changes with your nose!
