3-Area Autofocus System
3-Area Autofocus system provides versatile
control of focusing in various situations. The
camera automatically detects whether a sub-
ject is stationary or moving, and activates
Focus Tracking with Nikon’s advanced Lock-
On technology to keep a fast-moving subject
in continuous focus.
3D Matrix Metering
Nikon’s sophisticated 3D Matrix metering sys-
tem ensures accurate exposures under diverse
situations. To accurately determine the ideal
exposure, the N55 uses three types of data —
scene brightness, scene contrast and subject
distance. After analyzing this data, the camera
chooses the precise combination of shutter
speed and aperture to achieve a balanced
exposure. Also offers 5-Segment Matrix
Metering and Center Partial Metering for
greater manual control in specific situations.

specific scenes and subjects; such as portrait,
