Powerful image processing engine realizes a high-performance, compact body. The Z5II is equipped with the EXPEED 7 image processing engine inherited from the top-of-the-line Nikon Z series cameras. It processes data approximately 10 times faster than the previous EXPEED 6, delivering powerful AF performance and excellent subject detection and tracking. It ensures you never miss a decisive moment, even with fast-moving subjects.
AF performance delivers fast and accurate focusing in any scene. The powerful AF performance inherited from Nikon's flagship Z9 camera is approximately one-third the AF focus time of the Z5. Furthermore, it delivers high-precision AF accuracy even in low light. Whether indoors or for nighttime street photography, you'll never miss the moment you want. An evolved AUTO shooting mode makes photography even easier. The AUTO shooting mode has been further evolved since the Z5. Superior image processing performance and Nikon's proprietary AI technology, leveraging deep learning, improve the camera's ability to adapt to any shooting situation. The camera instantly recognizes the subject and surroundings and automatically optimizes settings. "Imaging Recipes" let you express your individuality through color. The Z5 II supports "Imaging Recipes," specially created presets created by renowned creators. Up to nine recipes can be sent directly to the Z5 II for free from Nikon Imaging Cloud. Experiment with different image creations and easily find the look that's perfect for you. The diverse recipes, including those for film-like looks, warm and cheerful atmospheres, and moody portraits, broaden your creative horizons. "Rich Tone Portrait" delivers striking results. "Rich Tone Portrait" delivers beautiful, translucent skin texture with rich gradation while suppressing overexposure. Compared to the previous Picture Control, "Portrait," it retains more skin detail, making it an ideal base for retouching. "Portrait" also renders skin softer and brighter. "Skin Beautification" for Smoothing Skin The "Skin Beautification" effect smooths skin while maintaining sharpness in details like hair and eyes. The effect is applied in-camera, eliminating the need for post-production. This feature can also be used during live streaming. Excellent high-sensitivity performance for continuous shooting in dark scenes. The Z5II is equipped with a full-frame/FX-format backside-illuminated CMOS sensor with excellent high-sensitivity performance. It also boasts powerful VR capabilities and reliable AF performance that makes it easy to focus in dark conditions. It delivers sharp, beautiful images even in dark scenes. High ISO Sensitivity for Confidence in Shooting. High ISO Sensitivity has a significant impact on image quality in dark scenes. The maximum standard ISO is ISO 64000 for still images and ISO 51200 for video. The full-frame/FX-format backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 7 image processing engine work together to effectively reduce noise in flat areas of the frame while preserving fine details like droplets of water running down a window. Maintaining sharp resolution even at high ISO sensitivities enhances the enjoyment of shooting in dimly lit scenes, such as at night or indoors.
Powerful image stabilization with 7.5 stops in the center for stable, sharp images. The Z5II's image stabilization (VR) mechanism provides powerful compensation with 7.5 stops in the center and 6.0 stops at the edges. This enables creative expression using slower shutter speeds when shooting handheld, even in dark scenes, expanding the scope of expression. It also minimizes camera shake and captures sharp images without the need for a tripod.
Choose from easy-to-use video file formats to professional-grade N-RAW. The Z5II supports beginner-friendly video file formats such as H.265 and H.264, as well as Nikon's proprietary N-RAW video format. This allows for high-quality footage with greater flexibility for color adjustment in post-production. The Z5II is also the first Nikon camera to record N-RAW to the camera's internal SD card, enabling lightweight shooting with a compact setup without the need for an external recorder. In addition, proxy files are simultaneously recorded, improving post-production efficiency.
Product Review Mode for Easy Focusing: The Z5II is the first Nikon full-frame/FX-format camera to feature Product Review Mode. It supports focusing in a variety of shooting situations, enhancing video shooting flexibility. Easily set the focus with touch controls, seamlessly switching focus from your face to the object in front of the camera. You can also adjust the AF range to your preferences, making it easy to focus on products and smooth the process of shooting review videos and vlogs.
High-Brightness EVF for Clear View of the Moment You Want to Capture: Looking through a dark viewfinder in bright conditions can take your eyes time to adjust. However, the Z5II's EVF boasts the same high brightness as the Z9 and Z8, boasting 3000 cd/m². Even in bright outdoor conditions, you can comfortably see your subject the moment you look through it, ensuring you won't miss an important moment. You can also check the brightness and color of the finished product, giving you a clear idea of ​​the image before shooting. Portrait orientation can be adjusted to suit your shooting style. When you shoot a still image with the camera held vertically, the display information on the image monitor and EVF, as well as the menu screen, automatically switches to portrait orientation. Even when using the MB-N14 or MB-N11 Power Battery Pack, switching between portrait and landscape orientations is smooth. Furthermore, by turning on [Auto Image Rotation] in the playback menu, portrait-oriented images will remain displayed in portrait orientation even when the camera is held horizontally, making it easier to review your shots after shooting.
