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.

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

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.

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-leading³ 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. 

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.

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 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.

Intuitive, immersive handling.

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.³ 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 for accurate manual focus, every time.
