Nikon Z5II body

The full-frame camera Z5II is equipped with the most powerful image processor from Nikon (EXPEED 7) and opens up impressive possibilities for hand-held photography. An extremely high ISO range, intelligent multi-subject perception and 3D tracking as well as an AF sensitivity of up to -10 EV *1 together ensure perfectly focused shots in full format - even in the dark. In addition, Nikon's proprietary Focus Area VR can reduce image blur around the active focus area from up to 7.5 f-stops in the center of the frame and up to 6.0 f-stops around the edges.*2,3

The compact Z5II is designed for reliable full-frame shooting with a fully rotatable and tilting touchscreen and a high luminance 3000 cd/m² electronic viewfinder, making it much easier to compose images in bright light. Creative controls for photos and videos include a one-touch Picture Control button for previewing and switching between inspiring color profiles in real time. Filmmakers can record 4K N-RAW video directly to the camera's SD memory card. Those who want to unlock color grading or cinematic looks with RED LUTs can record footage to N-log, allowing more flexibility in post-production

. Thanks to the familiar Nikon ergonomics, operation is instantly familiar. Z5 upgraders benefit from a deeper grip and a more intuitive button layout. The compact Z5II full-frame camera offers space for two SD card slots and is as dust and drip resistant as the renowned Z6III.

Full-frame, full potential

The switch to full-frame with the mirrorless Z5II allows for more detail, more depth and more room for creativity. The large-diameter Z bayonet and IBIS full-frame sensor (integrated image stabilization in the camera) open up incredible possibilities for freehand shots in any light and with any lens. The most powerful image processor to date boosts performance and ensures greater speed and fluidity when performing all tasks.
