Key Features
Intelligent Autofocus

Class-leading autofocus detection down to -10EV and up to 7.5 stops of built-in image stabilization.
Bright, Immersive EVF

Pro-level Power
The full-frame 24.5MP BSI-CMOS sensor plus an EXPEED 7 processing engine unlocks high-speed shooting up to 30fps.
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 to 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.
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 it to keep it in focus.
Smart focus.
In AF-A mode, the Z5II automatically detects subject movement and switches to tracking autofocus when necessary.
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 the built-in 5-axis Vibration Reduction, which delivers up to 7.5 stops of image stabilization. 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.
In manual exposure mode, you can enjoy shutter speeds as long as 900 seconds (15 minutes). This is perfect for extreme, long-exposure nightscapes and star trails.
Warm Display Colors.
When shooting at night, the brightness of the LCD and EVF can be distracting, even turned all the way down. In Warm Display Colors mode, the information display is switched from white to red to preserve your night vision.
Class-leading viewfinder experience.
Get a brighter, more accurate view with an electronic viewfinder you’ll love to look through—whether you’re at the beach, in the snow, or out on the water.
Class-leading brightness.
At 3000 nits, the Z5II’s viewfinder is six times brighter than competitive models. Even in ultra-bright conditions where other finders lag behind, you’ll be able to enjoy an accurate real-time preview of exposure, white balance, and Picture Controls.
Manual focus assist.
Use magnified live view with focus peaking every time for accurate manual focus.
Customizable info display.
You can see key exposure settings at a glance or hide shooting info for a cleaner, distraction-free view. It’s your call.
Flexible, hands-on screen.
Use the 3.2-inch 2100 k dot Vari-angle LCD to frame photos, videos, and selfies easily from any position. Touch to set focus, adjust exposure settings, and zoom in on photos.
Multifunction touch control.
Touch Fn turns the Z5II’s rear LCD screen into a large, touch-sensitive control. With your eye on the finder, adjust the focus point, quickly select your subject’s eyes, or toggle a framing grid or virtual horizon.
Create. Connect. Share.
Wireless remote control, cloud storage, curated color presets, and more—discover extra functionality when you connect your Z5II mirrorless camera to a compatible smart device or the cloud.
Feed your creativity.
Get high-quality results quickly, in-camera, with a suite of easy-to-use features, including one-touch access to more than 30 expressive color presets—and even more in the cloud.
Portraits that impress.
