The Nikon Z5IIC, a full-frame mirrorless camera, is designed for those seeking exceptional image quality without the daunting learning process. This is Nikon's inaugural full-frame mirrorless camera equipped with built-in scene modes on the mode dial, enabling you to simply rotate the dial to align with the scene before you and capture impressive results, regardless of your photography expertise.

The camera boasts a 24.5MP back-illuminated full-frame sensor, AI-driven autofocus, and 4K video, providing ample scope for growth. Offered in either Black or Silver finishes, and as a standalone body or coupled with a NIKKOR Z lens, the Z5IIC is a camera that adapts to your current abilities and evolves with you.

Capture The Spark

Full-frame photography has always come with a learning curve, and the Z5IIC flattens it. Scene modes on the mode dial take away the guesswork, so you can pick up the camera, choose the scene and shoot with confidence. As your skills develop, the Z5IIC's advanced features are ready and waiting.

AI Autofocus with Selectable Subject Detection

At the heart of the Z5IIC is Nikon's EXPEED 7 image-processing engine, driving an AI-powered autofocus system with 273 focus points. Subject detection recognises ten subject types: people, dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, aeroplanes and fish.

The camera locks on to what you're pointing at and holds focus, even in light (as low as -10 EV). From a child running across the park to a bird lifting off the water, your subject stays sharp so you can concentrate on the moment.

Capture Continuous Frames with Ease

The Z5IIC shoots at 14 frames per second, with an extended burst of 30 frames per second when you need to nail the decisive frame. An electronic shutter speed of up to 1/8000s freezes fast action and lets you shoot wide open in bright sunlight. It's more than enough performance for sport, wildlife and energetic kids.

Streaming and Pro Video Features

Record 4K UHD video at up to 60p (with a crop) and Full HD at 120p for smooth slow motion, with a choice of N-RAW, H.265 and H.264 formats. For those who like to grade their footage, N-Log 10-bit 4:2:0 recording preserves latitude in the highlights and shadows. Microphone and headphone connections, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and an HDMI-D port complete a video toolkit that punches well above its class.

Customise Your Look with Imaging Recipes

Imaging Recipes let you dial in a signature look straight out of camera, while a dedicated film grain effect adds character that would otherwise take time in post-production. Your images look the way you want them to from the moment you press the shutter.

Designed for Everyday Shooting

Composing is a pleasure on the 3.2-inch, vari-angle monitor, which flips out for vlogging, low angles and overhead shots. A single SD UHS-II card slot keeps things simple, and a battery rating of around 350 shots per charge via the monitor means the Z5IIC is ready for a full day out. Weighing 620g with battery and card, it's easy to take wherever the day leads.
