Features overview

Moments Don’t Wait. Neither Should You.

It’s so much easier and more precise to focus on your subjects. Never miss a crucial moment with 14 snapshots of the action every second (14fps). You don’t have to keep adjusting your camera position with 3D-tracking that automatically keeps your subject in the shot.

Focus Smarter, Not Harder.

Simplifying your life further, the AF-A¹ mode automatically switches the focus type based on a still or moving subject. Dependable AI detection that locks onto 9 different subject types. Pick your best moment with Pre-Release Capture, it photographs what happens 1 second before you’ve taken the photo.

When Light Fades, Clarity Takes Over.

Difficult lighting? No problem. The Nikon Z5II gets you no grain, just sharp shots even in near-total darkness. It’s perfect for your light paintings and romantic wedding proposals. With 7.5 stops² of Vibration Reduction (VR), handheld shooting is sharp and steady—even after sundown.

Advanced Imaging and Intelligent Scene Recognition Developed Using AI

With Nikon’s deep learning-based AI technology, the Z5II intelligently adapts to different scenes, analysing and recognising subjects in real time. This advanced system developed using AI optimises key exposure settings—including aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and autofocus—delivering exceptional image quality with minimal manual adjustments.

The Z5II is also the first FX-format mirrorless camera to feature a dedicated Picture Control button, allowing users to quickly switch between Imaging Recipes and experience different artistic styles in real time, even in Auto Shooting Mode. With support for up to nine Imaging Recipes per camera, photographers can seamlessly apply Nikon’s stock presets or create and share their own, offering greater creative flexibility.
