Nikon Z5II Specifications, Features
The Nikon Z5II is equipped with a 24.5-megapixel full-frame Backside Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor which can shoot in either 4K 60 fps or full HD 120 fps. It is said to support a maximum standard sensitivity of ISO 64000 for still-image shooting and ISO 51200 for video recording.
The latest full-frame mirrorless camera has a 3.5 times faster autofocus system compared to the standard Z5 model which supports three different modes — AF-A, AF-C (continuous autofocus), and AF-S. It is complemented by low-light autofocus capabilities which can focus on objects in as low as -10 exposure value (EV).
Nikon says the Z5II is powered by its flagship EXPEED 7 processor paired with its proprietary AI deep learning technology. The mirrorless camera is equipped with a five-axis Vibration Reduction (VR) system which provides up to 7.5 stops of stabilisation. It can capture fast-moving images in up to 14 frames per second along with 3D tracking which delivers accuracy.
The new camera is aimed at video creators and supports video recording in N-LOG, HLG, and SDR modes. It provides in-camera 10-bit N-LOG and 12-bit N-RAW video recording support. Meanwhile, its Bright EVF, which is around 3,000 Candela per square metre, is claimed to be twice as bright as competing models.
There’s also a dedicated Picture Control button which acts as a quick option for tweaking the visual aesthetics. Nikon says the Z5II can identify nine different types of subjects, from people and pets to birds and vehicles, leveraging an advanced subject detection system.
