Nikon Z6 II Mirrorless Camera

Dual EXPEED 6

A versatile 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor is incorporated into the camera, delivering exceptional performance in various shooting scenarios, including low-light conditions. With its fast readout speeds, it greatly enhances continuous shooting, movie recording, and time-lapse capabilities. The sensor's back-illuminated design results in clean and high-quality output, reducing noise even at high ISO values up to ISO 51200, while maintaining vivid and smooth image reproduction at lower sensitivities like ISO 100. The sensor is supported by dual EXPEED 6 image processors, which provide a remarkable level of speed to the entire camera system. This includes the impressive ability to capture continuous shots at 14 frames per second, allowing for up to 124 consecutive frames.

UHD 4K Video Recording

Taking advantage of the sensor and processor capabilities, the Z6 II excels as a versatile multimedia camera. It offers UHD 4K video recording with full pixel readout at up to 30p, while Full HD 1080p video recording supports impressive slow-motion playback of up to 120p. You have the flexibility to save video files either on the in-camera memory cards or as uncompressed files using an optional external recorder connected via HDMI.

The Z6 II introduces advanced video features to enhance your filmmaking experience. It includes N-Log gamma, which captures footage with a flat-looking profile to maximize dynamic range, as well as HLG (HDR) for recording HDR-ready content. Furthermore, the camera enables high-quality 10-bit data output over HDMI and offers an Electronic VR function for smooth handheld shooting. You can leverage Focus Peaking for precise manual focus control, and the Zebra Stripes option is available to identify over-exposed areas in your composition. For audio recording, you can use the built-in stereo microphone or connect an external mic via the 3.5mm stereo jack for greater control over sound quality. Additionally, the headphone jack allows for real-time monitoring.

273-Point Phase-Detect AF System & Vibration Reduction

The sensor of the camera features an impressive array of 273 phase-detect autofocus points, offering extensive coverage of 90% of the image area in both vertical and horizontal directions. This results in rapid and precise focusing performance for both still photography and videography. The wide coverage area ensures reliable subject tracking even near the edges of the frame. For video recording, the camera employs Hybrid AF, seamlessly switching between phase-detect and contrast-detect autofocus systems to achieve smooth focus transitions during shooting. Furthermore, the latest NIKKOR Z lenses are specifically designed for silent operation, minimizing any disruptive noise.

The camera is equipped with a 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction (VR) system built into the body. This technology effectively compensates for camera shake by up to 5 stops, regardless of the type of Z-mount lens being used. Even when utilizing F-mount lenses with the optional FTZ Adapter, the system continues to provide stabilization, albeit with 3-axis correction. This ensures steady and blur-free images, enhancing the overall image quality and versatility of the camera system.
