Nikon Z50II body

Equipped with the powerful EXPEED 7 image processor, which is also used in the top-of-the-range Z9 model, and Nikon's own deep learning technology, the mirrorless Nikon Z50II enables effortless photography and filming. The camera automatically recognizes nine different subjects and accurately tracks even fast, unexpected movements. The Z50II's electronic viewfinder (EVF) is the brightest in its class *1 and enhances the fun of shooting. Designed with practicality in mind, this bright EVF provides a clear, detailed view even in bright sunlight, dark environments or changing light conditions.

Among the creative features that make this camera particularly attractive to content creators are the easy-to-use Picture Control settings. This allows photos and videos to be designed directly in the camera. Users also have free access to the Nikon Imaging Cloud, where exclusive image styles and color presets can be downloaded directly to the camera. A special button on the Nikon Z50II allows direct access to the Picture Control settings: Effects are visible in real time, and switching between different presets while shooting is effortless

This camera is also the first Z camera with a video self-timer that allows a delay before recording begins. Vloggers and video streamers also only need one cable to connect the Z50II directly to a smart device and stream live on the platform of their choice.

With such a compact, versatile and fast Zoom lens, you have plenty of options. The focal length range of 16 to 50 mm (equivalent to 24 to 75 mm in 35 mm/FX format) offers plenty of scope for different viewing angles and subjects.

Short focusing distance

Autofocus, fast and quiet

A high-speed stepping motor (STM) enables fast, virtually silent autofocus. It works perfectly with the subject perception of the Z cameras, without disturbing focusing noise in the shot.

Reduced Focus Breathing

Ready for focus pulls? Focus Breathing is suppressed so that the focus can be shifted smoothly from the foreground to the background - without any disturbing changes in the angle of view.

Hi-Res Zoom

When shooting video, you can use the Hi-Res Zoom to extend the focal length range by twice as much without any loss of quality. Up to 100 mm without changing the lens.

Silent adjustment ring

Adjust settings silently by assigning important functions to the adjustment ring. Easily switch to manual focus or achieve a natural change in brightness by precisely adjusting the aperture
