Z5II
Step Up. Stand Out.
Take your photography and videography up a notch with the Nikon Z5II – where every shot gets sharper, every detail shines brighter, and every story comes to life with full-frame brilliance. Once you’ve upgraded to the Nikon Z5II, your creativity has no excuses.
Moments Don’t Wait.
Neither Should You.
It’s so much easier and more precise to focus on your subjects. Never miss a crucial moment with 14 snapshots of the action every second (14fps). You don’t have to keep adjusting your camera position with 3D-tracking that automatically keeps your subject in the shot.
Focus Smarter, Not Harder.
Simplifying your life further, the AF-A1 mode automatically switches the focus type based on a still or moving subject. Dependable AI detection that locks onto 9 different subject types. Pick your best moment with Pre-Release Capture, it photographs what happens 1 second before you’ve taken the photo.
When Light Fades,
Clarity Takes Over.
Difficult lighting? No problem. The Nikon Z5II gets you no grain, just sharp shots even in near-total darkness. It’s perfect for your light paintings and romantic wedding proposals. With 7.5 stops2 of Vibration Reduction (VR), handheld shooting is sharp and steady—even after sundown.
