Nikon d5600 Setup Menu (Wrench Icon)

Nikon d5600 Setup Menu (Wrench Icon)

With this menu, once you set it, you probably will leave it there – things like time and date. However, some of these settings are still important to know, so I’ll cover them below. The options I don’t list below are either irrelevant to setting up your camera (like Image Comment, where you write a note on a particular image) or very personal (like language and time zone).

  • Format memory card: Only click “YES” when you want all the photos on your memory card to be deleted. This is irreversible, but it is important to do when you switch a memory card into the D5600 from another camera, or you’ve finished offloading all your images onto the computer and you want a clear card.
  • Copyright information: It’s a good idea to put your info here in case you lose your camera
  • Beep options: OFF
  • Touch controls: OFF, personally, but most photographers will want them ON (I just don’t like using touchscreens with a camera)
  • Info display format: Totally up to you, but I find that the top center option (black text with white background) causes the least eye strain
  • Auto info display: OFF (can pop up annoyingly when you half-press the shutter button, and you can turn it on/off anyway by just pressing the “INFO” button)
  • Info display auto off: OFF (doesn’t always work; and, again, I’d prefer just to do it manually by pressing the INFO button)
  • Clean image sensor: Clean at startup/shutdown
  • Lock mirror up for cleaning: — (grayed out when you don’t have enough battery life; this is for manual sensor cleaning only)
  • Flicker reduction: AUTO
  • Slot empty release lock: LOCK
  • HDMI
    • Output resolution: AUTO
    • Device control: ON
  • Airplane mode: This is only relevant for disabling image transfer connections to a smartphone. If you haven’t set up these connections or are not actively using them, OFF does the same thing as ON
  • Connect to a smart device: Only use when you want to access SnapBridge (used for transferring low resolution JPEGs from the D5600 to your phone in the background – see more on Nikon’s page for SnapBridge)
  • Send to smart device (auto): OFF – but turn it on if you do want to send photos to your phone
  • Wi-Fi: Defaults
  • Bluetooth: OFF
