Performance and Versatility
The Nikon Z 6II is an advanced mirrorless camera designed for high-end photography and videography. It features a 24.5MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor paired with dual EXPEED 6 processors, enabling faster continuous shooting up to 14 fps and improved buffer capacity. The camera supports UHD 4K video recording at 30p and Full HD up to 120p for slow-motion effects, with external 10-bit HDMI output supporting N-Log and HLG (HDR) formats.
Its 273-point phase-detection autofocus system covers 90% of the frame and includes Eye-Detect AF for humans and animals, even during video recording. The ISO range extends from 100 to 51200 (expandable to 50-204800), and 5-axis in-body image stabilization compensates for up to 5 stops of camera shake.
