The Nikon Z50 II Mirrorless Camera combines a 20.9MP APS-C CMOS sensor and an interchangeable lens mount with a host of flagship features and compatibility with the entire NIKKOR Z lens lineup to elevate your content beyond the smartphone.
The Nikon Z50 mkii has:
Creative Picture Controls
Get the colours you love! The Z50II mirrorless camera boasts easy-to-use Picture Control presets that let you style photos and videos in real time as you shoot. A dedicated button takes you straight to the presets and you can streamline that selection to show only your favourites. Go ahead and try different options: the impact of each preset is instantly visible through the electronic viewfinder (EVF) or the vari-angle touchscreen.
Nikon Imaging Cloud
Ready to create with your dream team? Connect the Z50II with Nikon Imaging Cloud and you can download up to nine exclusive Imaging Recipes straight to your mirrorless camera, where they’ll show up as new Picture Control profiles. You can also automate full-resolution photo uploads to cloud storage sites and keep your camera up to date with easy firmware updates.
Easy streaming
Livestreaming, video conferencing, even gaming. You’ll look your absolute best when you stream with the Z50II and a high-quality NIKKOR Z lens instead of the camera on your computer, smartphone, or tablet.
It couldn’t be easier. Simply connect the Z50II mirrorless camera to your smart device or computer using a compatible cable and you can stream directly to the platform of your choice. Plug in an external mic if you’re using one—and away you go!
A clear, vibrant view
With the brightest electronic viewfinder (EVF) in its class, the Z50II is built for the real world.1 Harsh sunlight, dark environments, or changing light conditions: you’ll enjoy a brighter, clearer, glare-free view that lets you see every detail. If you’re stepping up from a smartphone, you’ll be amazed!
What you see is what you get
The EVF activates when you bring the camera to your eye—showing you exactly how your photos and videos will look. You’ll see the impact of setting changes or Picture Control presets in real time, and you can customize which info appears in the viewfinder or hide it all for a pure view.
Flexible creativity
The large (3.2-in) vari-angle touchscreen is perfect for self-portraits or first-person video perspectives, as well as for vlogging and livestreaming. Whether you shoot with the monitor high, low, or flipped to face you, the crisp display will give you a clear view of the scene.
Touchscreen controls
You can navigate the Z50II as easily as you navigate your smartphone. Simply touch the vari-angle monitor to position focus, change settings, and more. If you’re shooting vertical photos or videos, the image and camera menus automatically rotate for comfortable viewing and operation.
Incredible-looking video content
Want to create better videos? This camera’s stunning image quality and powerful video capabilities will take your content to the next level.
The Z50II captures richly detailed 4K UHD/30p video footage, oversampled from 5.6K. You get greater detail and greater creative flexibility than with a smartphone.
If you want to apply a Picture Control or Imaging Recipe to your video footage in-camera, you can shoot in SDR. If you’re beginning to experiment with the look and feel of your footage, shooting in N-Log embeds more colour information into the data so you get more flexibility to create the look you want when using editing software.1
For fast action sequences you can film 4K/60p video in crop mode. Or you can add dramatic impact to your video with smooth Full HD (1080) slow-motion footage recorded at 120p.2
1 N-Log is available when shooting in H.265 10-bit (MOV)
2 Slow-motion recording is only available in H.264 8-bit (MP4)
Better vlogging
Whether you’re new to vlogging or you’ve been doing it for a while, the Z50II mirrorless camera can help turn up the production value on your vlogs with sharper, clearer, more flattering footage.
The front-facing vari-angle monitor is a boon for solo content creators. Touch controls make it easy to start and stop recording, and you can set the video self-timer for 2 or 10 seconds to create a delay before you start speaking. If the red recording light on the front of the camera is on, and you can see a red frame around the image on the monitor, you’re recording!
If you’re walking and talking, Nikon’s powerful Electronic Vibration Reduction helps nail steady handheld shots.1 The camera’s intelligent face- and eye-detection AF will keep the focus on you, and NIKKOR Z prime lenses excel when it comes to creating flattering depth of field.
1 When using Electronic Vibration Reduction (E-VR), the angle of view becomes equivalent to 1.25x the native focal length of the lens you are using.
External mic and headphone sockets
Not forgetting about the sound, the Z50II mirrorless camera comes equipped with two key sockets: a 3.5 mm stereo mini-pin jack for an external microphone and a 3.5 mm headphone jack so you can monitor the output of the microphone.
Other in-camera options to optimize your audio include wind noise reduction and an onboard attenuator to help prevent distortion when filming in loud environments. Ideal if you’re vlogging out on the street or recording interviews at events.
Hi-Res Zoom
Shooting video with a NIKKOR Z lens? If you find yourself needing more reach, you can digitally zoom in, with no loss of image quality. Controlling the Hi-Res Zoom is easy: you can assign this function to the camera control buttons or the control ring of your NIKKOR Z lens and there are 11 different zoom speeds to choose from.1
1 Hi-Res Zoom is available when the following frame sizes and rates are selected in the video recording menu: 1920x1080 at 30p, 1920x1080 at 25p, or 1920x1080 at 24p

Brilliant in low light
With Nikon’s powerful EXPEED 7 image processor improving image quality at high ISO sensitivities, the Z50II camera gives you immense freedom to shoot in low light environments. Create in less-than-ideal lighting and you’ll still capture clean professional-looking images.
Texture, colour, detail
The camera’s wide light-sensitivity range goes all the way up to ISO 51200 (expandable to ISO 204800). Improved performance means colours and textures won’t get lost, even when shooting in at higher ISOs.
Shoot with fill-in flash
If you’re shooting in daylight, you can use the onboard flash to add light to shadows and bring out subject detail. It’s perfect if you’re shooting portraits and the sun is behind your subject.
Pops up when you need it!
The Z50II comes equipped with a built-in flash that’s super handy for night scenes or when your subject is backlit or silhouetted. To raise the flash, simply push the lever that’s conveniently positioned next to the built-in flash unit.
Every second counts
With high-speed continuous shooting of up to 30 fps and Pre-Release Capture, you’ll nail the winning shot even if it happened before you released the shutter.
A system to inspire
Photos to video. There’s no limit to what you can do with NIKKOR Z lenses and dedicated system accessories.
Easy to use, easy to love
Comfortable handling, intuitive operation, and that just-right feel. Like all Nikon cameras, the Z50II DX-format camera is a dream to use.
Perfectly portable
A tough yet lightweight magnesium alloy frame protects the camera. The compact body and streamlined EVF make it easy to slip the Z50II into your bag—and right back out again.
Streamlined controls
Whether shooting horizontally or vertically, you’ll find all the buttons and controls are right where you need them to be.
