New Delhi, April 24, 2025: Nikon India Pvt. Ltd. reaffirms its commitment to innovation and excellence in imaging with the unveiling of the Z5II, its latest full-frame mirrorless camera, at a special event held at Eros Hotel, New Delhi. Designed to enrich the creative journey, the new Z5II blends professional-level performance with advanced technology, delivering an enhanced experience in videography and photography for both aspiring and experienced creators in any setting.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Sajjan Kumar, Managing Director of Nikon India Pvt. Ltd., said, “With the introduction of the Z5II, Nikon is once again elevating the standards of professional-grade photography, making top-tier innovation more accessible to all creators. This camera embodies our commitment to empower videographers and photographers with tools that offer smart design, superior imaging, and unmatched control. Especially for videographers, it offers rapid and precise autofocus, excellent low-light capabilities, and in-camera support for advanced video formats like N-RAW and N-Log making it ideal for dynamic shooting environments. ‘Truly Together’, the Z5II is crafted for hybrid creators who demand flexibility and performance in every frame.”
Engineered with a 24.5 MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor, the Z5II captures stunning image quality with remarkable clarity and depth — a key requirement for wedding professionals and hobbyists who shoot in varied lighting conditions. Supporting 4K/60p and Full HD/120p video resolutions, it caters seamlessly to videographers looking to bring cinematic storytelling to life, whether for high-energy wedding videos or creative fashion shoots.
The Z5II is powered by a 3.5x faster autofocus system, now further enhanced with low-light AF capabilities down to -10EV, enabling precise focus even in low light situations for wedding videographers and photographers or wildlife enthusiasts capturing elusive moments. The AF-A mode has also been improved: the camera now intuitively switches to AF-C (continuous autofocus) when detecting motion, simplifying the process of tracking moving subjects — a game-changer for action shots and dynamic scenes.
Additionally, the Z5II features in-camera 10-bit N-Log and 12-bit N-Raw video recording, giving filmmakers and advanced users greater flexibility in post-production. Its Vari-angle monitor allows for versatile shooting angles, while the Bright EVF (3000 cd/m²) more than twice as bright as competing models ensures excellent visibility in all lighting conditions, whether you’re filming a vibrant outdoor ceremony or shooting in dimly lit banquet halls.
Redefining Imaging Possibilities
The Nikon Z5II is outfitted with pioneering features that enhance both still photography and video production. Central to its exceptional performance is the EXPEED 7 image-processing engine, delivering fast, intelligent autofocus and stellar image quality. The camera also features a robust 5-axis in-body Vibration Reduction (VR) system, providing up to 7.5 stops of stabilization. This technology ensures clear, sharp images and smooth videos even under challenging conditions. Furthermore, the Z5II stands out in low-light scenarios with its -10EV autofocus detection range, ensuring precise focus even when lighting is scarce.
For those capturing fast-moving subjects, the Z5II offers high-speed continuous shooting at up to 14 frames per second, complemented by sophisticated 3D-tracking for pinpoint accuracy. Video enthusiasts will find the Z5II equally capable, supporting 4K UHD video at 60p, 12-bit N-RAW recording, and Full HD 120p for high-quality slow-motion effects. This makes the Z5II a versatile choice for a wide range of storytelling needs.
