Creative Picture Controls are available in all exposure modes, as well as movie recording.  

Built-In 5.0-Stop Vibration Reduction for a Wide Variety of Scenes

The Nikon Z 7II incorporates an in-camera vibration reduction (VR) mechanism, providing an effect equivalent to a shutter speed up to approx. 5.0 stops faster. It detects camera shake using the image’s motion vector information as well as the gyro sensor, and then drives the vibration reduction unit to offer compensation in five directions: yaw, pitch, X, Y, and roll, which is likely to be noticeable in videos. The VR system also works with NIKKOR F lenses, including non-VR lenses (When using the optional mount adaptor.  

Precise Focus Across 90% of the Frame with a Large 493-point Hybrid AF System

To experience the true potential of the Z 7II’s 45.7 effective megapixels and the high resolution of the NIKKOR Z lenses, extremely sharp focus is essential. The Nikon Z 7II adopts a newly developed hybrid AF system that offers extremely wide coverage — approx. 90% of the frame both horizontally and vertically with 493 focus points. Using an AF algorithm that’s optimized for the FX-Format sensor, it achieves focus on the subject, utilizing focal-plane phase-detection AF or contrast-detect AF as appropriate. Thanks to its wide coverage, it can also focus on subjects in the periphery, bringing a new level of creative freedom. What’s more, the NIKKOR Z lenses are designed to meet a stricter AF standard, ensuring high-resolution performance and superior AF accuracy. And when shooting stills of dark scenes, activating the camera’s low-light AF function offers AF down to -4.5 EV.  

Advanced Scene Recognition System

The Nikon Z 7II Camera incorporates a range of auto controls to help you obtain optimum results, using the Advanced Scene Recognition System. The camera uses the image sensor to recognize various conditions of the scene, then utilizes this information to ensure accuracy in auto exposure, auto focus, auto white balance and other auto controls, including “natural light auto” white balance and Picture Control Auto. The system also makes it possible to achieve effective flicker reduction — both in still photography and movie recording.  

Sophisticated and Robust Exterior Design Being Portable and Ergonomic

Photographers want a compact camera system, but sometimes this means sacrificing operability. Nikon tackled this problem head-on, to create a system that delivers superior operability, in spite of its compact size. The camera’s grip is designed for firm grasp and takes into account the comfortable positioning of even the little finger. The operational controls, including a sub-selector, AF-ON button, ISO button and exposure compensation button, are carefully arranged to allow quick operation using the right hand in a shooting posture. A handy top display panel enables users to confirm various information at a glance. And the metallic rings around the Z mount and the root of NIKKOR Z lenses have the same look and feel, to provide a sense of unity as a system.  

Durable, high Precision and Silent Shutter

The Nikon Z 7II Mirrorless Camera employs a highly accurate shutter unit capable of speeds of 1/8000 s. To ensure durability, it uses the same brake mechanism and shutter blade material adopted by the D850, and has been tested for 200,000 cycles while actually loaded in the camera. It also incorporates a leaf spring switch for the shutter-release button, the same as the D850, allowing it to respond to a delicate touch for fewer missed opportunities.  

Capture fleeting moments — High-speed continuous shooting at up to 10 fps

The Nikon Z 7II supports continuous shooting at a maximum of  10 fps. To facilitate the capture of moving subjects, it features wide AF coverage, and a focus prediction algorithm that Nikon has refined over years of DSLR camera development.  

Convenient Focus Stacking with its Focus Shift

When shooting a scene containing various subjects at different focus distances, or creating specimen pictures of insects and flowers, photographers may want to bring everything into sharp focus. The Nikon Z 7II’s focus shift photography function enables you to shoot sequences of up to 300 frames, while gradually and automatically shifting focus position from the start point to infinity. The shutter release interval and the focus step width can be selected. Moreover, the Nikon Z 7II employs a new peaking stack image function that creates a monochrome preview image automatically to confirm the areas in focus before combining the pictures — making focus stacking more convenient than ever.  

Dual Memory Card Slots for Rapid Reading and Write Speed

The Nikon Z7 II camera supports both CFexpress (Type B) and SD memory cards, enabling fast reading and writing of the vast data generated from its high-pixel-count image sensor. Additionally, It also supports XQD memory cards.
