Nikon Z5 II Mirrorless Camera with 24-70mm f/4 S Lens

Unrivalled Low-Light Performance

The Z5II features Nikon’s No. 1 low-light performance, boasting an impressive AF detection range as low as -10 EV. Whether capturing a night scene, photographing dimly lit interiors, or shooting in challenging environments like aquariums, users can rely on the Z5II’s autofocus to deliver consistently sharp and detailed images.

High-Definition Imaging with EXPEED 7

The flagship-grade EXPEED 7 image processing engine enables the Z5II to render high-resolution images with extraordinary texture and fine details. With enhanced noise reduction capabilities, the camera maintains image quality even at higher ISO sensitivities, ensuring optimal performance when using lenses with slower maximum apertures or teleconverters.

Next-Level Autofocus with 9 Types of Subject Detection

The Z5II features Nikon’s advanced subject detection system, designed to accurately recognise and track a wide range of subjects, including people, animals (dogs, cats, and birds), and vehicles (cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, and airplanes). This enhanced detection capability ensures precise autofocus performance, even in dynamic and fast-paced shooting environments.

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.

4K Video and Advanced Recording Modes for Filmmakers

The Z5II is built for filmmakers and content creators, offering a suite of video recording capabilities for both hobbyists and professionals. With support for up to 4K video and 12-bit N-RAW recording, it delivers intrinsic detail and dynamic range, ensuring high-quality footage ready for post-production. Videographers can achieve high-quality footage with 4K 60p recording in DX mode and up to 4K 30p recording in FX mode, utilising 6K supersample for enhanced details. Additionally, Full HD recording at up to 120p enables smooth slow-motion capture.
The N-Log, HLG, and SDR recording modes available within the Z5II also provide greater flexibility in colour grading, making the Z5II a powerful tool for storytelling in any lighting condition.

Seamless Compatibility and Enhanced Control

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Nikon’s Z Mount lens system, the Z5II provides access to a broad lineup of high-performance lenses. Remote control capabilities further enhance shooting flexibility, making it an ideal choice for photographers who need wireless operation for both studio and field work.
