Superior Low-Light Performance

Break free from lighting constraints with the Z5II’s impressive ISO range (100-64000) and sophisticated noise reduction. The backside-illuminated sensor captures rich, detailed images even in challenging conditions, while the powerful EXPEED 7 processor maintains color accuracy and saturation at higher sensitivities. Whether shooting evening cityscapes or indoor events, the Z5II delivers clean, usable images where other cameras struggle.

Professional-Grade Autofocus

The Z5II’s autofocus system borrows technology from Nikon’s flagship cameras, identifying and tracking subjects with remarkable precision. Nine subject detection modes recognize people, animals, birds, vehicles, and airplanes, while 3D tracking maintains focus on moving subjects throughout the frame. With sensitivity down to -10 EV, the camera continues focusing accurately even in near darkness, ensuring you never miss the moment regardless of lighting conditions.

Revolutionary Stabilization

Capture sharp images at dramatically slower shutter speeds with up to 7.5 stops of Vibration Reduction. The Z5II’s advanced IBIS system introduces Focus Point VR, which prioritizes stabilization around your active focus point—keeping subjects tack-sharp even at the edge of the frame. This stabilization works with any lens, including adapted F-mount glass, opening new creative possibilities with vintage optics or in challenging lighting.

Exceptional Viewfinder Experience

See your subjects with extraordinary clarity through the Z5II’s 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder, now with a maximum brightness of 3000 nits—three times brighter than the original Z5. This enhanced visibility proves invaluable in bright outdoor conditions, while the 60fps refresh rate provides a smooth, natural viewing experience. The fully articulating 3.2-inch touchscreen complements the EVF, facilitating comfortable shooting from any angle.

Cinematic Video Capabilities

The Z5II brings professional video features to an affordable price point. Capture oversampled 4K/30p footage from the full sensor width for maximum detail, or switch to 4K/60p with a crop for smooth action sequences. Record in 10-bit N-Log for enhanced flexibility in color grading, or shoot directly in N-RAW for maximum quality and editing latitude. Compatibility with RED LUTs lets you achieve authentic cinematic color easily, while the vari-angle screen makes vlogging and self-recording intuitive.

Creative Control at Your Fingertips

Express your unique vision with the Z5II’s dedicated Picture Control button, providing instant access to color profiles during shooting. Download additional Imaging Recipes from Nikon’s cloud service or create your own custom looks in NX Studio and import them to the camera. Portrait photographers will appreciate built-in tools like Skin Softening and Portrait Impression Balance that enhance subjects while maintaining natural appearances.

Professional Reliability

Despite its affordable price, the Z5II doesn’t compromise on build quality or practical features. The weather-sealed body resists dust and moisture, dual UHS-II SD card slots provide peace of mind for critical shoots, and the deeper grip ensures comfortable handling with larger lenses. The entire system integrates seamlessly with Nikon’s expanding range of NIKKOR Z lenses, offering exceptional optical performance across focal lengths.
