Nikon Z6II + 24-120mm f/4 Kit (SKU N-VOA060K008)

The Nikon Z6 II is a fast, flexible full-frame mirrorless camera built for demanding photo and video work. It keeps the proven handling and image quality of the original Z6, but adds more speed, better autofocus, stronger video options, and a more versatile storage setup to suit modern multimedia creators.

At its core is a 24.5 MP back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor paired with dual EXPEED 6 image processors. This combination delivers a deeper buffer and faster continuous shooting—up to 14 fps with single-point AF or 12 fps with other AF modes. The camera records UHD 4K video at up to 30p (and higher with firmware), or Full HD up to 120p for smooth slow motion. The sensor supports a wide ISO range of 100–51,200 for stills, and 5‑axis in-body Vibration Reduction helps keep handheld shots sharp. A 273-point phase-detection AF system covers most of the frame and supports Eye-Detection AF in Wide-Area AF and during movie recording, with focusing possible down to –4.5 EV in low light.

Physically, the Z6 II keeps the same comfortable body shape, but adds a dual card slot configuration: one CFexpress Type B (or XQD) slot and one SD UHS-II slot for flexible file management. A 3.6M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder and a 3.2" 2.1M-dot tilting touchscreen LCD make composing and reviewing images easy, and built-in SnapBridge connectivity supports wireless image transfer, remote control, and firmware updates via a smart device.

Firmware version 1.10 adds UHD 4K 60p and 50p recording, enables raw video output to Blackmagic Design Video Assist recorders, and improves eye-detection AF when using Auto-Area AF and Wide-Area AF.

Second-Generation Improvements

• Timed long exposures can now be set up to 900 seconds (15 minutes) without an external remote.

• Dual memory card slots: one CFexpress Type B/XQD and one SD UHS-II, supporting overflow, backup, or separate file storage.

• USB Type-C port supports in-camera battery charging and continuous power for long sessions.

• Focus ring rotation direction can be reversed on compatible lenses to match user preference.

• HDR (HLG) output over HDMI gives ready-to-view HDR footage for compatible displays, while N-Log offers a flat profile for flexible colour grading.

• Eligible for a ProRes RAW upgrade (optional), enabling 12‑bit ProRes RAW output over HDMI to compatible Atomos recorders for advanced grading control.

• SnapBridge can be used to update the camera’s firmware wirelessly, removing reliance on memory cards for updates.

• Creative options include Multiple Exposure, 20 Picture Controls, in-camera time-lapse creation, and Focus Shift shooting (up to 300 frames) for focus stacking.

• Compatible with the optional MB‑N11 Power Battery Pack, which extends battery life and improves handling, especially in vertical orientation.

24.5 MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor and Dual EXPEED 6 Processors

The 24.5 MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor is designed for all-purpose shooting, delivering strong low-light performance and fast readout for continuous shooting, video, and time-lapse work. The back-illuminated structure helps produce clean images at high ISOs, up to a native ISO 51,200, and maintains smooth, vivid image quality down to ISO 100.

Dual EXPEED 6 processors drive the camera’s speed, enabling continuous shooting up to 14 fps for as many as 124 consecutive frames, along with responsive operation throughout the system.

UHD 4K Video Capabilities

The Z6 II is built for serious video as well as stills:

• UHD 4K recording with full pixel readout up to 30p.

• Full HD 1080p recording up to 120p for detailed slow-motion footage.

• Footage can be saved internally to the memory cards or sent as an uncompressed feed via HDMI to an external recorder.

Advanced video tools include:

• N‑Log gamma for flat, high dynamic range footage suited to post-production grading.

• HLG (HDR) recording for HDR-ready output.

• 10‑bit output over HDMI for improved colour depth with external recorders.

• Electronic VR for smoother handheld video.

• Focus Peaking for more precise manual focus.

• Zebra display to highlight overexposed areas.

Audio is recorded via the built-in stereo microphone or via an external mic connected through the 3.5 mm input. A headphone jack allows real-time audio monitoring.

Firmware version 1.10 enables UHD 4K 60p and 50p output and adds raw video output support to Blackmagic Design Video Assist recorders while improving eye-detection AF in Auto-Area and Wide-Area AF modes.

273-Point Phase-Detect AF System

On-sensor phase-detection AF uses 273 focus points covering about 90% of the frame, both horizontally and vertically. This wide coverage delivers fast, reliable focus for stills and video and supports subject tracking close to the frame edges.

For video, Hybrid AF seamlessly shifts between phase-detection and contrast-detection systems for smooth, natural focus transitions. NIKKOR Z lenses are optimized for quiet operation, making AF changes less distracting in recorded audio.

In-Body Vibration Reduction

A 5‑axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction system is built into the camera body, compensating for up to 5 stops of camera shake with Z-mount lenses. When using adapted F-mount lenses via the FTZ adapter, 3‑axis stabilization is available, still providing useful shake reduction for handheld shooting.

Body Design and Handling

• A 3.2" 2.1M-dot tilting LCD provides a bright, sharp display for live view and playback, and supports touch control for menu navigation, focus selection, and more.

• The 3.6M-dot OLED EVF offers a high 0.80× magnification, detailed viewing, and uses NIKKOR optics for clarity. A fluorine coating makes the viewfinder easier to clean.

• A top-panel dot-matrix OLED display provides quick access to key shooting settings at a glance.

• Dual card slots (one CFexpress Type B/XQD, one SD UHS-II) support flexible storage setups such as overflow, backup, or segregating stills and video.

• The magnesium alloy body is dust- and weather-resistant, suitable for use in challenging environments.

• An ergonomic grip and thoughtfully shaped body help maintain comfort during extended shoots, aided by an anti-slip finish and a joystick for quick AF point and settings selection.

• Built-in Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi‑Fi via SnapBridge allow wireless image transfer, remote shooting, live view on a smart device, and easier firmware updates without using a memory card.
