Data processing is approximately 10 times faster than the previous EXPEED 6, delivering powerful AF performance and excellent subject detection and tracking. You'll never miss a decisive moment, even with a fast-moving subject, and it's captured sharply.
AF performance for fast and accurate focusing in any scene: The Z9 inherits the powerful AF performance from Nikon's flagship Z9. EXPEED 7 reduces AF focusing time to approximately one-third of that of the Z5. It also delivers high-precision AF accuracy, even in low light. You'll never miss the moment, whether indoors or for nighttime street photography.
An improved AUTO shooting mode for easier photography: The AUTO shooting mode has been further improved since the Z5. Superior image processing performance and Nikon's proprietary AI technology, utilizing deep learning, improve its ability to adapt to any shooting situation. The camera instantly recognizes the subject and surrounding conditions and automatically optimizes settings.
"Imaging Recipes" allow you to express your individuality through color: The Z9 supports "Imaging Recipes," specially created presets created by renowned creators. You can send up to nine recipes directly to your Z5II for free from Nikon Imaging Cloud. Experiment with different image creations and easily find the perfect look. The wide variety of recipes expands your creative horizons, from film-like looks to warm, cheerful atmospheres, and moody portraits.
Striking "Rich Tone Portrait": "Rich Tone Portrait" delivers beautiful, translucent skin texture with rich gradation while suppressing blown-out highlights. Compared to the previous Picture Control "Portrait," it preserves more skin detail, making it an ideal base for retouching. "Portrait" also renders skin softer and brighter.
Smoothing "Skin Beautification": "Skin Beautification" smooths skin while maintaining sharpness in details like hair and eyes. Since the effect is applied in-camera, it eliminates the need for post-production. This feature can also be used during live streaming.
Excellent high-sensitivity performance for continued shooting in dark scenes: The Z5II is equipped with a full-frame/FX-format backside-illuminated CMOS sensor with excellent high-sensitivity performance. In addition, it offers powerful VR and reliable AF performance that makes it easy to focus even in dark situations. You can capture sharp, beautiful images even in dark scenes.
High ISO sensitivity for worry-free shooting. High ISO sensitivity has a significant impact on image quality in dark scenes. The maximum standard ISO sensitivity 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 such as droplets running down a window. Since resolution is maintained even at high ISO sensitivity, shooting in dimly lit scenes such as at night or indoors is even more enjoyable.
Powerful image stabilization with 7.5 stops in the center for stable, sharp images. The Z5 II's image stabilization (VR) mechanism provides powerful compensation of 7.5 stops in the center and 6.0 stops in the periphery. This enables creative expression using slower shutter speeds when shooting handheld, even in dark scenes, expanding the scope of expression. It also reduces camera shake and captures sharp images even without 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 file format. This allows for high-quality footage with greater flexibility in color adjustments in post-production. The Z5II is also the first Nikon camera to record N-RAW to the camera's internal SD card, enabling easy shooting with a compact setup without the need for an external recorder. Simultaneous recording of proxy files also improves 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. This mode supports focusing in a variety of shooting situations, enhancing video shooting flexibility. Easily adjust the focus with touch controls, seamlessly switching from your face to the object in front of the camera. You can also adjust the AF range to your liking, making it easier to focus on products and shooting review videos and vlogs.
High-brightness EVF for clear visibility of the moment you want to capture. Looking through a dark viewfinder in a bright environment can take your eyes a while to adjust. However, the Z5II's EVF boasts the same high brightness as the Z9 and Z8, at 3000 cd/m². This allows you to easily see your subject the moment you look through it, even in bright outdoor conditions, so you won't miss important moments. You can also check the brightness and color of the finished image, allowing you to get a clear idea of ​​the image before shooting.
Adjustable portrait orientation to prioritize your shooting style. When shooting still images with the camera held vertically, the image monitor, EVF display information, and menu screen automatically switch to portrait orientation. Switching between portrait and landscape orientation is smooth, even when using the MB-N14 or MB-N11 Power Battery Pack. Furthermore, if you turn on [Auto Image Rotation] in the playback menu, portrait images will remain displayed in portrait orientation even when the camera is held horizontally, making it easier to review the images after shooting.
