[Nikon releases the Z5II full-frame mirrorless camera] Nikon is pleased to announce the release of the full-frame/FX-format Nikon Z5II mirrorless camera for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted. The Z5II inherits the superior shooting functions and performance of high-end Nikon cameras while offering an even greater ability to respond to a wide variety of dark or dimly lit scenes and situations. Equipped with the same EXPEED 7 image-processing engine as the Nikon Z9, the flagship model of the Nikon Z series, and the Nikon Z8, it also offers subject detection powered by deep learning (AI) technology, and makes focusing on the intended subject easier with highly accurate, high-speed autofocusing in approximately one third* of the time required by the Nikon Z5. In addition, the high-sensitivity performance made possible by the back-illuminated CMOS sensor suppresses blur and noise for beautiful rendering of the textures and details of subjects and scenes, even in dimly lit situations, such as when shooting indoors or capturing night landscapes. The Z5II also supports Imaging Recipes, downloadable imaging presets created by Nikon and creators, as well as Flexible Color Picture Control that allows users to precisely control the expression of colors with intuitive operation. The Z5II is a camera that empowers users to fully immerse themselves in their unique creative expression while enjoying the powerful shooting performance and rich, expressive capabilities of a full-frame camera. *Measured in accordance with CIPA standards. The measurement values are based on the following testing conditions: Subject brightness of 10 EV; in photo mode using aperture-priority auto (A), single-servo AF (AF-S), single-point AF (center), at 70-mm focal length with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S.
