Use angled mirrors and put the camera on its timer setting?

I have purchased the camera D5500, (D5300 was not in stock, lead time was one week and also its price difference was under $110). As I decided to go for my Option-1 (offer was D5500 with kit lens(18-55mm)+Lens (55-200mm f4-5.6G ED VR II).
I will surely show you some picture taken later when I get some familiarity. One thing I am confused with, that the model printed on Warranty card is "AF-S DX 18-55mm VRII" and on the packing box "AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm" but surprisingly both have same serial #, Lens is also AF-P, is this OK? Attached are pics of both. Today is Sunday, before asking them, I can have a opinion from you. By the way I did not notice is at the distributor shop.
Regards

I would take the warranty certificate as accurate. The box may be old stock which they are using up, with latest VRII lens in it. They will print many boxes at a time to keep printing costs down and then update the lens before all the boxes are used up.

Packaging can vary from actual contents. Notice the lens number is printed on on a label stuck on to the box, probably printed as the warranty was printed, to avoid mistakes.

Have fun! :thumbs:

Hmmm!

I think it's the reverse.

The P models are the latest additions to Nikon line up with new quieter stepper motors. There is apparently no difference in optical performance. They are slightly more expensive than the AFS version.

Of course the lens itself will have AFS or AFP painted on it...so that will clarify which lens has been sent.

The point here is...does the warranty paperwork match the serial number stamped on the lens itself?
