Key Features:

The Full-Frame Difference
Superior Image Quality and Greater Versatility

The Z5II’s full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor is 50% larger than competitive APS-C models. That means it collects more light, so you can enjoy cleaner, more detailed images in all conditions. Plus, there’s no crop factor with full-frame/FX format Nikkor Z lenses, so wide-angles stay genuinely wide.

Autofocus

Fast, Intelligent Autofocus

Powered by Nikon’s unique deep learning-based AI technology and finely-tuned to give you great results in a huge range of shooting situations.

• Effortless Subject Detection

  People, dogs, cats, birds and vehicles—the Z5II can automatically detect and accurately track nine distinct subjects. Plus dedicated [Bird] and [Airplane] modes for even greater autofocus accuracy.
   

• Incredible Precision

  High-speed autofocus acquisition combines with amazing accuracy for sharp focus in all conditions, even when your subjects are tiny in the frame.
   

• 3D-Tracking with Subject Detection

  Position the AF point over your subject, and the Z5II will automatically track to keep it in focus.
   

• Smart Focus

  In AF-A mode, the Z5II automatically detects subject movement and switches to tracking autofocus when necessary.

Performance That’s a Step Ahead

Keep up with the fastest action—even before it happens.

• Uncompromising Speed

  Maximum frame rate of 14 frames per second in mechanical shutter mode and up to 30 frames per second4 (electronic shutter) with full autofocus.
   

• Pre-Release Capture

  Sometimes you only recognize the decisive moment after it has passed. Capture the action before you fully press the shutter release button—at up to 30 fps—saving shots that would otherwise have been missed.

Low-Light

New Opportunities in Low Light

Your creativity doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, and neither does the Z5II. Keep on shooting even in almost complete darkness, with stunning high ISO image quality and a suite of features designed to unlock new creative possibilities in low light.

Focus Confidently in Low Light

Class-leading autofocus detection down to -10EV1 delivers accurate, reliable focus in dim and dark conditions—great for live performances, available light portraiture, astrophotography and more.

See in the Dark

Starlight View mode gives a clear view even in virtually complete darkness, helping you find the perfect composition for astrophotography.

• Shake-Free Shooting

  Shake-free shooting. Leave your tripod at home thanks to built-in 5-axis Vibration Reduction, delivering up to 7.5 stops of image stabilization.2 Focus Point VR prioritizes stabilization on the active focus point.
   

• Expanded ISO Range

  With a standard ISO sensitivity range of 100-64,000 expandable to Hi 1.7 (ISO 204,800 equivalent), the Z5II can continue to capture detailed images even in ultra-low light.
   

• Extended Shutter Speeds

  Enjoy shutter speeds as long as 900 seconds (15 minutes) in manual exposure mode. Perfect for extreme long-exposure nightscapes and star trails.
   

• Warm Display Colours

  When shooting at night, the brightness of the LCD and EVF can be distracting, even turned all the way down. In Warm Display Colours mode the information display is switched from white to red to preserve your night vision.

Handling

Intuitive, Immersive Handling
Class-Leading Viewfinder Experience

• Manual Focus Assist

  Use magnified live view with focus peaking for accurate manual focus, every time.
