Shoots to benefit continuous shooting, movies, and interval recording. The sensor's backlit design offers remarkably clean high-sensitivity output to reduce noise when working at high ISO values, up to a native ISO 51200, as well as vivid, smooth quality at sensitivities as low as ISO 100. Sensor benefit are Dual EXPEED 6 image processors, delivering blazing speed across the entire camera system, including the ability to shoot continuously at 14 fps for up to 124 consecutive frames.
UHD 4K video recording
Utilizing sensor and processor attributes for more than still images, 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 also supports up to 120p for slow motion playback. Video files can be saved to camera memory cards or as an uncompressed file to an optional external recorder via HDMI output.

Advanced video functionalities have been added with the Z 6II, including the N-Log range to capture flat-looking images that maximize dynamic range and HLG (HDR) to record HDR-ready images. Other additions are the ability to output high-quality 10-bit data over HDMI and an electronic VR feature for smooth manual capture. Focus Peaking can be used to benefit manual focus control and a Zebra Stripes option is also available to help detect overexposed areas within the frame. Audio recording can be handled using the built-in stereo microphone or an optional external microphone can be added via the 3.5mm stereo jack for more control over quality, and live monitoring is possible via the headphone jack.
273-point phase detection AF system
Located on the sensor is an array of 273 phase detection autofocus points covering 90% of the image area both vertically and horizontally. This provides fast and accurate focus for both still images and video, and with a wide coverage area, subject tracking will work up to close to the edges of the frame. Hybrid AF is available for video, which will automatically switch between phase and contrast detection systems to provide smooth focus during shooting. Additionally, the latest NIKKOR Z lenses are optimized for quiet operation.
Vibration reduction
5-axis sensor shift vibration reduction on the body compensates for up to 5 stops of camera shake regardless of which Z-type lens is 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 "2.1 million dot LCD screen is available for bright, clear and vivid image reproduction and live image shooting. The screen has a tiltable design to take advantage of working from high angles and bass, and it's also a touchscreen for more intuitive operation, navigation, and setup control.
There is a 3.6 million dot OLED electronic finder for comfortable viewing at eye level. It has a high magnification of 0.80x and uses NIKKOR optics to ensure a sharp and clear image. The finder also has a fluoride coating for easy cleaning.
The top panel of the Z 6II is configured with a dot matrix OLED. This energy efficient display provides quick access to important camera settings.
Configured with a CFexpress Type B / XQD memory card slot and a UHS-II SD card slot, flexible file storage is possible with the option of using repetitive, overflow, or segregated storage methods.
A robust magnesium alloy chassis is dust and weather resistant to benefit work in harsh climates and inclement conditions.
The ergonomic grip and overall form factor are designed to benefit handling over extended periods of time and are further accentuated with a non-slip material and joystick for perfect setup and focus point selection.
Built-in SnapBridge connectivity to enable seamless low resolution image transfer as well as remote shooting capabilities. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi enable communication between the camera and a smart device, and the mobile device can remotely trigger the shutter and display a live image from the camera to allow remote work.

As an easier method to update the camera firmware.
NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f / 4 S lens
Included with the camera body is the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f / 4 S standard zoom lens, which covers a length range from wide-angle to portrait and features a constant maximum aperture of f / 4. The optical design incorporates an aspherical element as well as a single extra-low dispersion aspherical element; both help to greatly reduce a variety of aberrations and distortions for high sharpness and accurate color reproduction. A Nano Crystal Coat is also used to control flare and ghosting to increase contrast in bright lighting conditions. Suitable for both photo and video applications, a stepper AF motor is also included for smooth, near-silent autofocus performance.
