When I review photos on my Nikon D5600, I sometimes see a grid/latitude-longitude style overlay on top of the image instead of a normal full-screen photo. I’m new to the camera and may have changed a setting by mistake while adjusting other options. How do I get back to normal photo playback, and what setting or display mode causes this overlay to appear?

Look for the word "grid" in the section of your camera's reference manual that covers how to view/review images on your camera after shooting them. Almost all digital interchangeable lens cameras have an option to turn on or off a grid pattern when viewing images on the camera's LCD screen.
If the issue you are describing is occuring when you're looking through the viewfinder to compose a photo, then look for "viewfinder grid display".

On the Nikon D5600, the most likely cause is that you’ve changed the playback display mode rather than a shooting setting. While reviewing an image, use the multi-selector up/down buttons to cycle through the available playback screens until you return to the plain image view.
If you’re seeing a grid while composing rather than during playback, check the camera’s grid options in the menu. On the D5600 this is under the Custom Settings menu (pencil icon) for the viewfinder grid display, and the Info button can also change what overlays appear in live view.
One other possibility is the Retouch menu’s straighten function, which can show a grid while editing.
So, in short:
- During playback: press up/down to cycle display modes.
- During shooting/composing: check Viewfinder Grid Display and Info display settings.
- If in Retouch > Straighten, exit that mode to return to normal viewing.
