The full-frame difference
Expand your creative expression with full-frame quality, intelligent autofocus, custom color presets and a best-in-class viewfinder. Meet the mirrorless Nikon Z5II—a trustworthy companion that will evolve with you, at every step of your journey.
Superior image quality and greater versatility
The Z5II’s full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor is 50% larger than competitive APS-C models. That means it collects more light, so you can enjoy cleaner, more detailed images in all conditions. Plus, there’s no crop factor with full-frame/FX format Nikkor Z lenses, so wide-angles stay genuinely wide.
Fast, intelligent autofocus
Powered by Nikon’s unique deep learning-based AI technology and finely-tuned to give you great results in a huge range of shooting situations.
-
Effortless subject detection: People, dogs, cats, birds and vehicles—the Z5II can automatically detect and accurately track nine distinct subjects. Plus dedicated [Bird] and [Airplane] modes for even greater autofocus accuracy.
-
Incredible precision: High-speed autofocus acquisition combines with amazing accuracy for sharp focus in all conditions, even when your subjects are tiny in the frame.
-
3D-tracking with subject detection: Position the AF point over your subject, and the Z5II will automatically track to keep it in focus.
-
Smart focus: In AF-A mode, the Z5II automatically detects subject movement and switches to tracking autofocus when necessary.
Performance that’s a step ahead
Keep up with the fastest action—even before it happens.
Uncompromising speed
Maximum frame rate of 14 frames per second in mechanical shutter mode and up to 30 frames per second4 (electronic shutter) with full autofocus.
Pre-Release Capture
Sometimes you only recognize the decisive moment after it has passed. Capture the action before you fully press the shutter release button—at up to 30 fps—saving shots that would otherwise have been missed.
New opportunities in low light
Your creativity doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, and neither does the Z5II. Keep on shooting even in almost complete darkness, with stunning high ISO image quality and a suite of features designed to unlock new creative possibilities in low light.
Focus confidently in low light
