Key features
Advanced AF performance inherited from higher-end models
AI-utilizing deep learning technology has been adopted for the Z5II. This enables automatic detection of the same nine types of subject as the Z9 and Z8, for both stills and video recording. It is the first full-frame Nikon mirrorless camera to support AF-A focus mode. When shooting stills, the camera automatically switches between AF-S and AF-C focus modes in response to subject movement or changes in composition. This allows the camera to automatically focus on the subject, with no setting adjustments, when photographing pets or other subjects whose movements are difficult to predict, thus freeing users to concentrate on framing and creating the desired image. In addition, increased AF performance achieves focus in approximately one-third of the time required by the Z5, facilitating the capture of decisive moments.
The Z5II is also equipped with 3D-tracking. Keep the target subject in focus even if it moves rapidly or erratically. This provides subject tracking at a constant 14 fps. Users will never miss a crucial moment when photographing subjects whose movements cannot be predicted.
A variety of features that allow users to unleash their creativity with unique color and imaging expression
Nikon Imaging Cloud connectivity permits users to download Imaging Recipes recommended by Nikon or supervised by popular creators at no charge, and to apply these recipes when shooting. Recipes downloaded to the camera can be applied immediately via the dedicated Picture Control button. Users can quickly switch between color presets and choose from a variety of expressions while exploring their own unique style. In addition, the Z5II supports Flexible Color Picture Control, which allows users to create and establish their own unique color styles using Nikon’s NX Studio* RAW processing and editing computer software. Using tools such as the Color Blender and Color Grading, users can adjust hues, brightness, and contrast to achieve users desired color aesthetic. Combinations of settings configured in NX Studio can then be exported to the Z5II and registered as Custom Picture Controls that can be applied at any time when shooting.
- *A Nikon ID is required for NX Studio Ver. 1.9.0 and later.
Shooting performance for beautiful rendering of dark scenes
The Z5II is equipped with the same EXPEED 7 image-processing engine as the Z9. It also features a back-illuminated CMOS sensor that stands up well to high sensitivities, for significantly less noise. This camera offers a maximum standard sensitivity for still-image shooting of ISO 64000 and ISO 51200 for video recording. This outstanding high-sensitivity performance enables the shooting of beautiful, high-resolution images in which textures and details are preserved, even in dimly lit or dark indoor locations such as cafés and aquariums, as well as outdoors or at night. In fact, the autofocus detection range extends down to the low-light limit of -10 EV*1. Focusing in dark surroundings is even easier with expanding shooting possibilities.
The 5-axis in-camera vibration reduction (VR) provides superior image stabilization equivalent to a 7.5-stop*2 increase in shutter speed at the center and a 6.0-stop*2 increase at the peripheral areas of the frame. This allows users to explore more creative shooting, such as trying out slower shutter speeds even when shooting handheld. The Z5II is also equipped with Focus-point VR*3. This feature suppresses blurring around focused areas for sharp rendering of the subject, even when it is positioned near the edge of the frame.
- *1Photo mode, single-servo AF (AF-S), single-point AF (center), ISO 100 equivalent, f/1.2 lens used, at 20°C/68°F.
- *2Based on CIPA 2024 Standard. Yaw/pitch/roll performance when using the NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S (telephoto end, NORMAL).
- *3Only in photo mode with NIKKOR Z lenses not equipped with VR. Does not function when multiple focus points are displayed.
Performance and ease of use that support reliable and comfortable shooting
AUTO shooting mode has been improved with EXPEED 7’s superior image-processing performance and Nikon’s unique AI deep learning technology. The camera responds to a wide variety of shooting scenarios by analyzing and recognizing the subject and its surroundings. Then it automatically optimizes exposure values, including aperture value, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and even focus mode, all while the user simply holds the camera. With a high-luminance 3000 cd/m2 electronic viewfinder (EVF) panel, the EVF built into the Z5II is approximately 3x brighter than that employed for the Z5. Check focus and exposure, even in bright surroundings such as outdoors under strong sunlight. In addition, superior operability has been inherited from high-end models. For example, buttons are positioned for right-handed operation that enables smooth adjustment of settings when shooting. The grip is shaped to prevent tiredness of the arm, even when a heavy lens is used for extended periods of time.
