Let your creativity flourish with the Z5II full-frame upgrade. Jump way ahead with powerful stills and video features inherited from our professional Z series cameras, and incredible ease of use.
Full frame, full potential
Make the leap to full-frame photography with the Z5II mirrorless camera and you’ll get more detail, more depth, more space to create. The wide Z mount and full-frame IBIS (in-body image stabilisation) sensor open incredible possibilities for handheld shooting in any light—and with any lens. Our most powerful image-processing engine ever boosts performance, bringing more speed and fluidity to everything you do.
Confident shooting with a sharp all-rounder
More is more with the Z5II full-frame camera. Intelligent AF features from flagship Z cameras, powerful Vibration Reduction, and ultra-high light sensitivity combine to bring you perfectly focused full-frame shots.
68% faster than the Z5
The AF system is a major leap forward for the Z5 line. Bolstered by the power of EXPEED 7 and with sensitivity down to -10 EV, autofocus performance is quick and precise — even after dark.1
Tracks your subject
The The Z5II brings you advanced multi-subject recognition with 3D tracking for stunning accuracy. The camera can detect nine distinct subject types and there’s a dedicated bird mode too.
Keeps pace with action
Fast or unpredictable subjects? With burst speeds of up to 30 fps and Pre-release Capture, you’ll nail peak action shots, even if the best moments happened before you released the shutter. 2
Adapts in the moment
From stillness to motion. Shoot in AF-A mode and there’s no need to change focus modes yourself: the camera will spot even the subtlest movement, taking you from AF-S to AF-C as needed.
Best-in-class views and intuitive operation
Bright, versatile, responsive. Whether you’re upgrading from the Z5 or stepping over to Nikon Z series mirrorless for the first time, the Z5II is an immensely satisfying full-frame camera to shoot with.
Full frame. Full creativity.
Be bold. Be subtle. Be filmic. You’re going to love what you create with the Z5II’s wealth of powerful yet easy-to-use photo and video features.
Imaging Recipes from photographers and filmmakers
Create your unexpected! Expand your creative palette with inspirational colour presets—imported straight from Nikon Imaging Cloud to your Z5II full-frame mirrorless camera.
Incredibly versatile
Stunning colour, super-accurate AF, and the flexibility of multiple frame rates. Get maximum detail with 4K/30p or go up to 4k/60p (cropped). Record super-smooth slow-motion in Full HD/120p.
N-RAW direct to SD card
The Z5II full-frame camera is the first Z-series camera to support recording N-RAW footage straight to an SD memory card! No need for an external video recorder, or expensive memory cards.
N-log for colour grading
If you want to colour-grade footage, you can record video in N-log. The high dynamic range retains more detail in shadows and highlights, which gives you more flexibility in post.
Hi-res zoom
Close in on the action! Hi-res zoom can extend the reach of your lens by up to 2X when shooting Full HD video. There’s no loss of image quality, and it works with prime and zoom lenses.
