Nikon Z50 II Mirrorless Camera with Z 16-50mm VR Lens

The Nikon Z50 II Mirrorless Camera Body is perfect for up-and-coming creators, with a compact size and impressive 20.9MP APS-C CMOS sensor. It's compatible with NIKKOR Z lenses and can shoot up to 30 fps, with a broad ISO range for different lighting conditions and reduced noise in images.

Nikon's Most Advanced Autofocus

Using inherited algorithms and deep learning technology from the Z9, including sophisticated Subject Detection for nine different subject types, the Z50 II can recognize a variety of distinct subject types, ranging from humans to animals to airplanes to bicycles. The popular dedicated Bird Detection mode is also featured. When working in Auto-Area AF, these subjects will automatically be detected, focused on, and tracked to ensure sharp focus when the subject is moving across the frame.

Eye-Detection AF, specifically, has been tuned for improved accuracy and refined recognition of eyes in the scene and can also be used in conjunction with custom Wide-Area AF for different subject shapes and sizes.

Pre-Release Capture

The EXPEED 7 processor also unlocks Pre-Release Capture, a feature that helps make decisive moment shots easier by recording frames in a burst for up to a second prior to actually releasing the shutter. When this feature is activated, burst shooting will commence when the shutter is half-pressed, and the buffer will retain the frames after fully pressing the shutter.

UHD 4K Video Recording

Capable of recording more than just stills, the Z50 II has improved its video capture abilities as well, now supporting UHD 4K video recording up to 60 fps and Full HD recording up to 120 fps along with a Product Review mode, recording time limits up to two hours, a video self-timer feature, built-in electronic Vibration Reduction, and the ability to save movie files to the in-camera memory cards or an optional external recorder via HDMI out. In-camera time-lapse shooting is also possible with the ability to produce a finished UHD 4K video file directly from the camera.

A first for Nikon, the Z50 II is UAC and UAV compliant for live web-streaming. Additionally, you can now record 10-bit video internally with Nikon's N-Log LUT and use four new RED LUTs as well.

Color Control for Creators

Nikon has added a Picture Control button atop the Z50 II to make access to its 31 built-in presets available even in Auto mode. The color presets can now be overlaid in the rear LCD screen, giving you the ability to visualize the color shifts as you create. Creator Recipes built by fellow Nikon shooters are available through the Nikon Imaging Cloud and can be downloaded and integrated alongside the presets. Additionally, Nikon provides a one-year subscription to their Cloud Picture Controls software, so you can use your own presets with professional editing tools.

Body Design and Connectivity

The 3.2" LCD touchscreen features a bright, clear display with a 180° flip-under tilt design, perfect for front-facing selfies and live view shooting. Enhanced Touch FN functionality allows precise focus selection via touchscreen. The redesigned electronic viewfinder offers greater comfort and is twice as bright as previous models, ensuring sharp, clear images with NIKKOR optics. A built-in flash and hot shoe enable additional lighting, supported by a Night Portrait mode for well-balanced exposures. Connectivity includes an MC-DC3 Remote Release Cord with headphone jack, USB-C for charging and power delivery, microphone and HDMI ports, and SnapBridge for wireless image transfer and remote shooting. The EN-EL25a rechargeable battery offers extended runtime with in-camera charging, while the UHS-II compatible single SD slot facilitates fast storage of photos and videos.
