Dual processors.
For the first time in a Nikon camera, theZ 6IIis powered by not one, but twoEXPEED6 processing engines. They work together for faster image processing, more buffer capacity and more overall speed.
Dual card slots.
Now you have options. One slot accepts CFExpress (Type B) and XQD cards. The other slot accepts standard SD cards. Use the format you prefer. Or use both slots and separate video and still files or RAW and JPEG, create a backup or maximize your onboard storage.
High-speed shooting.
Experience 14 FPS* continuous shooting at full resolutionRAW or JPGwith a buffer 3.5X larger than the previous generation and minimal EVF blackout between shots.
*When shooting in Continuous H (extended) andSingle-pointAF mode.
4K Ultra HD at 60p.
Record incredibly detailed 4K Ultra HD footage withfull-pixelreadout. Capture in your choice of frame rates including ultra smooth 60p* with an upcoming firmware upgrade.**

Go vertical.
Introducing theMB-N11, thepro-levelgrip for theZ 6II. Shoot vertically with comfortable controlsshutter release, command dials, Fn button and moreand get up to a 1.9x increase in battery performance*.
*1.9x is achieved when twoEN-EL15cbatteries are used to power theMB-N11, versus using theEN-EL15cbattery in the camera alone.
More autofocus power.
Optimized for stills,high-speedsequences and video work, theZ 6IIs273-pointHybrid AF system brings performance improvements, new options forEye-DetectionAF and easier selecting of AF modes.
See in the dark.
With a big leap forward inlow-lightautofocus performance, theZ 6IIcan find your subject in half the available light as its predecessor*. Keep shooting into the evening with the same fast, accurate AF performance.
*AF detection range starts at -4.5 EV
Edge-to-edgecoverage.
The AF systems 90% frame coverage lets you compose the way you want, from the start. Either manually choose one of 273 focus points across the frame, or let subject tracking automatically select the focus points based on where your subject is within the frameeven at the far edges.
Eye-Detection.Better than ever.
Nikons intelligentEye-DetectionAF quickly identifies and locks onto eyeseither humans, dogs or catsfor properly focused portraits. TheZ 6IIbuilds on the system with accuracy enhancements and more flexibility.
Right on target.
Now you can useWide-Area(L) Mode to set boundaries for eye detection. Select an area of the frame, and theZ 6IIwill only look for eyes theregreat for busy scenes, group shots and pet portraits.

When keeping it simple, record your 4K footagein-cameraon a CFexpress, XQD or SD card. Step things up by attaching an external recorder (sold separately) to capture10-bitN-Logor HDR (HLG) footage. Or go all the way with a paid firmware upgrade and compatible external recorder* and output12-bitProRes RAWorBlackmagic RAWformat** via HDMI.
*Such as Atomos Ninja (ProRes RAW) or Blackmagic Designs Video Assist 12G HDR recorder (Blackmagic RAW).
**Black Magic RAW support via a paid firmware upgrade available February 2021.
Slow it way down.
Slow down time and capture every detail of movement with 120p Full HD footage that can be played back at 30p, 25p or 24p. Add silky smooth slow motion sequences to your videos to add emphasis and drama or highlight movement.
