Overview

Second Generation Z

Improving upon their initial efforts, Nikon has revised the Z 6 platform to offer more speed, faster processing, and greater versatility without sacrificing the beloved qualities of the original camera.
  •  Dual EXPEED 6 image processors offer increased buffer performance, a faster 14 fps continuous shooting rate, and noticeably reduced blackout times in the viewfinder.
  •  Updated autofocus now includes Eye and Face Detection for both humans and animals in the Wide-Area AF mode, for both photo and video recording.
  •  Timed long exposure shooting is now possible for up to 900 seconds (15 minutes) without the need of an external remote.
  •  Dual memory card slots offer more flexible file storage capabilities; one CFexpress Type B and one SD UHS-II slot permit overflow, segregated, and repetitive saving options.
  •  USB Type-C port permits in-camera charging or continuous power for on-the-go charging or extended shooting times.
  •  The rotation direction of the focus ring on lenses can be switched to suit one's familiarity.
  •  Support for HDR (HLG) mode when recording externally gives instant HDR-suitable video files for immediate playback. N-Log is also available for enhanced control during post-production and grading, too.
  •  Future firmware update will add UHD 4K 60p recording, in addition to the current 30p frame rate.
  •  Eligible for an optional ProRes RAW upgrade, enabling the camera to output ProRes RAW footage to a compatible Atomos external recorder. This upgrade provides greater color grading flexibility with the ProRes codec along with the ability to output uncompressed 12-bit raw footage over HDMI. This upgrade will be available in early 2021.
  •  The SnapBridge wireless connectivity can be used to update the camera's firmware, instead of relying on a memory card-based system of updating.
  •  Updated creative shooting modes include Multiple Exposure, 20 different Picture Control settings, and in-camera Timelapse recording. There is also a Focus Shift mode for recording up to 300 sequential frames with the focus position shifted between exposures for focus stacking applications.
  •  Compatible with optional MB-N11 Power Battery Pack for additional battery life and improved handling.

24.5MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor and Dual EXPEED 6 Processors

A 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor is used for all-around shooting, impressive low-light quality, and fast readout speeds to benefit continuous shooting, movies, and time-lapse recording. The back-illuminated design of the sensor affords noticeably clean high-sensitivity output for reduced noise when working at high ISO values, up to a native ISO 51200, as well as vivid and smooth quality at sensitivities as low as ISO 100. Benefitting the sensor are dual EXPEED 6 image processors, which affords a wealth of speed throughout the camera system, including the ability to shoot continuously at 14 fps for up to 124 consecutive frames.

UHD 4K Video Recording

Utilizing the sensor and processor attributes for more than just still imagery, the Z 6II is also a more-than-capable multimedia camera. UHD 4K video recording is possible with full pixel readout up to 30p and Full HD 1080p video recording is also supported at up to 120p for slow motion playback. Video files can be saved to the in-camera memory cards or as an uncompressed file to an optional external recorder via HDMI out.

Advanced video functionalities have been added with the Z 6II, including the N-Log gamma for capturing flat-looking footage that maximizes dynamic range and HLG (HDR) for recording HDR-ready footage. Other additions are the ability to output high-quality 10-bit data over HDMI and an Electronic VR function for smooth handheld shooting. Focus Peaking can be used to benefit manual focus control and a Zebra Stripes option is also available to help detect over-exposed areas within the frame. Audio recording can be handled using the built-in stereo microphone or an optional external mic can be added via the 3.5mm stereo jack for greater control over quality, and live monitoring is possible via the headphone jack.

273-Point Phase-Detect AF System

Located on the sensor is an array of 273 phase-detect autofocus points covering 90% of the image area both vertically and horizontally. This provides fast and accurate focusing for both stills and video and with a wide coverage area, subject tracking will work out to near the edges of the frame. Hybrid AF is available for video, which will automatically switch between phase- and contrast-detect systems to provide smooth focus during shooting. Additionally, the latest NIKKOR Z lenses are optimized for silent operation.

Vibration Reduction

In-body 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction compensates for up to 5 stops of camera shake regardless of the Z-type lens being used. This system also works with adapted F-mount lenses, when using the optional FTZ Adapter, where 3-axis stabilization is used.

Body Design

  •  A large 3.2" 2.1m-dot LCD screen is available for bright, clear, and vivid image playback and live view shooting. The screen has a tilting design to benefit working from both high and low angles, and it is also a touchscreen for more intuitive operation, navigation, and settings control.
  •  A 3.6m-dot OLED electronic finder is present for comfortable eye-level viewing. It has a high 0.80x magnification and uses NIKKOR optics to guarantee a sharp, clear image. The finder also has a fluorine coating for easier cleaning.
  •  The top panel of the Z 6II is configured with a dot-matrix OLED. This low-energy display provides quick access to important camera settings.
  •  Configured with one CFexpress Type B/XQD memory card slot and one UHS-II SD card slot, flexible file storage is possible with the option to use repetitive, overflow, or segregated storage methods.
  •  A robust magnesium alloy chassis is both dust- and weather-resistant to benefit working in harsh climates and inclement conditions.
  •  The ergonomic grip and overall form factor is shaped to benefit handling for extended periods of time and is further accentuated by an anti-slip material and a joystick for seamless settings and focus point selection.
  •  Built-in SnapBridge connectivity to enable seamless transfer of low-resolution imagery as well as remote shooting capabilities. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi enables communication between the camera and a smart device and, additionally, the mobile device can remotely trigger the shutter and display a live view image from the camera to enable working from a distance. Additionally, SnapBridge can also be used as an easier method of updating the camera's firmware.

Nikon Z6ii
What a amazing camera to begin with, with the two previous updates recently done, it only got better, it’s incredibly fast, responds well to all commands, I love the battery grip for it!! As a wedding photographer, i use this as my main camera and a Z5 as a backup. The z6ii is amazing in lowlight and has great features, so glad I moved into Nikons mirrorless cameras!! Thanks Nikon.

Go to Camera
Its my go to camera now. I leave the D5 in the bag and I take the Z6ii out. I'm embracing it and now I have 2 native lenses. Much better then the Z6.

Excellent! Fast and great with high ISO
On the day I received the Z6 II, we went on a night trip to Knik Glacier, here in Alaska. This trip is over a primitive trail, on accessible with special vehicles, and it's a rough ride. During the trip in and out, I shot while sitting in the front seat of one of these trucks, handheld, and at ISO 51,200. I did some astrophotography, shots around a fire, etc., and all were useable, which is amazing, considering the lighting conditions. I previously owned a Z6, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Awesome
The Z6ii experience has been awesome. Ergonomics are familiar coming from a Nikon DSLR. Autofocus is fast, accurate and typically silent with Z Mount lenses. 4K 60 is beautiful. I love the EVF clarity and real life colors. Raw and jpeg files are best in the industry. Only wish the AF system had tracking functionality similar to D850 group af and ability to program the initiation of separate af modes with two different buttons.

And Insane Camera for insane Photographers and Videographers
This image was taken at 9:30 pm (CST) in the dark of night. ISO 64000 (Nikon ISO H 0.3), F4, WB Auto, 24mm, Exposure 1/6, 24-70mm F4 lens and yes, the Nikon Z6 II. It was literally midnight dark in this scene. I did not have High ISO noise reduction on. The detail, and usability of this image is insane for the time of night this was taken. Even my shadow was recorded correctly from a street light behind me. This is an incredible, mind boggling image from just the camera without flash. I am sure
FC
not a pro
I traded in my d750 and d810 for a z6 ,not disappointed at all .Now I traded in for a z6 2 and it is a beautiful camera.not going into tech stuff.Bottom line is the file which beautiful .even if a camera cost 5000. bottom lie is the file .

A Whole Lot of Camera For The Money
As a photography enthusiast, I have used another manufacturer's equipment for many years. However, as of late I question the quality of their equipment and pricing strategy. After much research I decided to give the Nikon brand a try beginning with the Z6 II and will say that I'm pleasantly surprised. First is value, I think you you get a whole lot of camera for the money. The body is built like a tank and the ergonomics are great. The menus are well organized and the ability to customize
JL
Great feeling
Just having the Nikon Z6 II in my hands is a great feeling. Taking photos with it, is even better
K
Versatile and wonderful camera
Great camera and a welcome addition to my Nikon family. I own a D3000, D810 and now the z6ii. The z6ii is fast and captures beautiful images. I added a z85mm lens and the combination of these two have been giving me great indoor sports shots as well as close ups of bees and flowers. The low light capability really helps me to push this camera and capture the images for Volleyball where the gym lighting is not so great.

LOVE IT
I was uncertain about having mostly new controls, but I have found the camera MUCH more user friendly. My picture quality has improved. Love it.
