Nikon Unveils Z5II Mirrorless Camera in India with Pro-Grade Video and Autofocus Features

New Delhi — Nikon India has launched the Z5II, a new full-frame mirrorless camera aimed at hybrid creators, videographers, and photography professionals. Unveiled at an event at Eros Hotel, New Delhi, the Z5II is packed with advanced video features, enhanced autofocus, and powerful low-light performance, setting a new benchmark in its category.

The camera features a 24.5MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor and supports 4K video at 60p and Full HD at 120p, catering to cinematic storytelling needs. It also includes in-camera 12-bit N-RAW and 10-bit N-Log recording, providing creators with more dynamic range and flexibility in post-production—features typically reserved for high-end cinema cameras.

Sajjan Kumar, Managing Director of Nikon India, said, “With the Z5II, Nikon continues to empower creators with cutting-edge tools. This camera blends professional-grade performance with intuitive design, making it ideal for dynamic shooting environments—especially for videographers working in low light or fast-paced settings.”

The Z5II boasts a 3.5x faster autofocus system, now enhanced with -10EV low-light sensitivity, ensuring accurate focus even in near-darkness. The camera’s improved AF-A mode automatically switches to continuous autofocus when motion is detected, simplifying subject tracking for action and event photography.

Other highlights include a bright 3000 cd/m² EVF for clear visibility in bright sunlight, a vari-angle touchscreen for flexible shooting angles, and a robust 5-axis in-body stabilization system that offers up to 7.5 stops of vibration reduction.

Content creators will appreciate support for N-Log, HLG, and SDR recording modes, a dedicated Picture Control button, and AI-powered subject detection that can identify nine types of subjects—including people, pets, and vehicles. With high-speed continuous shooting up to 14 fps and 3D subject tracking, the Z5II is equally effective for sports, wildlife, and fast-paced video work.

Compatible with Nikon’s growing range of Z Mount lenses, the camera also features USB-C, HDMI, and wireless connectivity, making it suitable for both studio and handheld use.

The Nikon Z5II will be available across India from April 24, 2025, at ₹1,49,995 (body only). More information is available on the official Nikon India website.
