The Nikon Z5 IIC is a camera designed for the way you shoot. No viewfinder. Just a beautiful touchscreen that feels instantly familiar and invites a more casual, expressive way of shooting. Everything you love about the simplicity and connectivity of smartphone photography, elevated with the spectacular image quality and creative freedom of a full-frame interchangeable lens mirrorless camera.
Expressive Image Quality.
The Z5IIC captures more than how a moment looks—it captures how it feels. Three-dimensional depth that pulls you in. Softly blurred backgrounds that make your subjects stand out. Natural skin tones that flatter every complexion. Even in near darkness, the mood and atmosphere of the moment shine through.
Bigger sensor. Bigger emotion.
Full-frame mirrorless camera sensors are approx. 12x larger than flagship smartphone sensors, gathering more light to reveal greater depth, detail and richness in every photo and video.
Memories preserved beautifully.
Cleaner low-light images: EXPEED 7 image processing reduces noise in low light, preserving rich colour, fine detail, and the natural atmosphere of a scene, without a flash.
Natural depth and bokeh: The backside-illuminated, full-frame image sensor paired with NIKKOR Z lenses creates a beautiful subject separation and true optical depth that never looks artificial.
Crop in. Keep the fine detail: Full-frame image quality gives you the flexibility to crop, reframe, and discover a whole new shot within the original.
Pro-quality video: Record beautiful 4K/60p video and stereo sound with the flick of a switch. Plus, 12-bit internal RAW.
Effortless Performance.
While you’re focused on the perfect composition, the Z5IIC is detecting subjects, finding focus and optimizing settings to deliver beautiful photos and videos. When you want to go deeper, more control is at your fingertips: easy to use Scene Modes, high-speed frame rates and more—all the way up to full manual control when you want it.
Scene Modes. Made for the moment.
When you want more creative control, like blurring backgrounds or softening skin tones in portraits, simply choose the Scene Mode that matches the moment. Take the guesswork out of getting great results, so you can focus on composition.
Confidence without complexity.
Focus you don't have to think about: Autofocus inherited from Nikon's pro cameras quickly locks on to faces and eyes, even when they're small in the frame, behind glasses, or moving fast.
Subject detection knows what you're shooting: Deep learning technology takes autofocus performance even further with automatic detection of 10 common subjects, even fish.
A second chance at the perfect moment: Pre-Release Capture starts buffering images before you fully press the shutter button, and even after your release it, savings shots you would otherwise have missed.
The speed to succeed: Capture 14 photos per second continuously with the mechanical shutter, or up to 30 photos per second with the electronic shutter, to freeze fast action in striking clarity.
Product review mode: Automatically adjust focus to items you hold in front of the camera, and then right back to you when you put the item down.
Spontaneous.
Wonder is always waiting around the next corner. The Z5IIC is ready. Its flat-top design slips easily out of your bag, powering on with the flick of a switch. You frame the shot in an instant, controlling the camera with one hand from the comfortable grip. And since there’s no viewfinder, your eyes can stay on the action, anticipating every smile, expression and gesture.
A familiar, expressive style of shooting.
Compose on the Vari-angle touchscreen just like you do on your phone, but with more control when shooting from the hip, overhead, down low or anywhere inspiration takes you.
