20.9MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor & EXPEED 7 Image Processor

The DX-format 20.9MP CMOS sensor is paired with the same EXPEED 7 image-processing engine found in its flagship, full-frame brethren to provide a versatile mixture of high sensitivity, nuanced image quality, fast, AI-powered autofocus, and full-resolution continuous shooting up to 30 fps. At native values, a sensitivity range from ISO 100-51200 permits working in a broad array of lighting conditions, and can be further expanded up to ISO 204800 for extreme low-light conditions. The mixture of resolution and sensor size also contributes to clean image quality and smooth color transitions with reduced noise throughout the sensitivity range.

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

• A large 3.2" LCD touchscreen is available for bright, clear, and vivid image playback and live view shooting. The screen has a 180° flip-under tilting design, which benefits front-facing selfie captures, and offers more intuitive operation, navigation, and settings control. The upgraded touchscreen now features the Touch FN option, which allows you to select the focus point with your fingertips.
• The improved electronic viewfinder was redesigned for increased comfort in eye-level viewing. Using NIKKOR optics to guarantee a sharp, clear image, it is now twice as bright as its predecessor.
• A built-in flash and a hot shoe allow you to introduce additional light into low-lit scenes, with a dedicated Night Portrait mode that optimizes a balanced exposure with available and additional light.
• A headphone jack has been added, doubling as a terminal for Nikon's newly released and optional MC-DC3 Remote Release Cord, and the USB-C terminal provides both camera charging and USB power delivery. The camera retains the microphone and HDMI ports of its predecessor.
• Built-in SnapBridge connectivity enables seamless transfer of low-resolution imagery as well as remote shooting capabilities. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi enable communication between the camera and a smart device, and the mobile device can remotely trigger the shutter to display a live view image from the camera for working from a distance.

Covering a wide-angle to portrait-length zoom range, this lens is well-suited to everyday shooting situations. Its optical design incorporates aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, which help to reduce a variety of aberrations for sharper, clearer image quality throughout the zoom range. A Super Integrated Coating has also been applied to minimize ghosting and flare for increased contrast and color accuracy in bright and backlit conditions.

The lens's flexible focal length range is complemented by Vibration Reduction image stabilization, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting. A stepping motor provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override to suit both stills and video applications. Also, a programmable control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and exposure settings.

Standard zoom is designed for DX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 24-75mm equivalent focal length range.

One extra-low dispersion element reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.

Four aspherical elements minimize spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range for greater sharpness and accurate rendering.

Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.

Vibration Reduction image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting.

Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.

Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field techniques.

Boasting enough horsepower to allow Canon's highest resolution mirrorless sensor to shoot a speedy 30 fps and capture 8K60p raw video, the EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera is the multimedia professional's solution for versatility, image quality, and intelligence. An all-new 45MP sensor's stacked, back-illuminated design joins a brand new processor to provide upgrades in nearly every category, creating a do-it-all camera that gets the job done.

A Stacked Sensor-Processor Combo

The R5 Mark II's new sensor maintains the high resolution of its predecessor while introducing a stacked, back-illuminated design that makes room for Canon's latest image processor, the DIGIC Accelerator. Operating alongside the stalwart DIGIC X, the camera combines the raw image data with high-volume, deep-learning datasets to produce gains in subject tracking and recognition, pre-continuous capture, blackout-free shooting, video resolution, maximum recording time, and more - making the R5 Mark II a powerful and comprehensive professional creator's toolkit.

Autofocus and Deep Learning

The improved processing speeds benefit the EOS R series' already-robust autofocus, incorporating deep learning datasets in its Dual Pixel Intelligence AF to produce advancements in subject recognition and tracking while also improving on the Eye Control Focus feature introduced in the EOS R3.

• The processor's high-level analyses keep the intended subject locked when similar subjects cross one another
• Head, eyes, upper body, and joint structures are all tracked, as well as persons other than the main subject and the ball
• Action Priority Menu setting for still photos identifies sport-specific events, actions, and ball positions for soccer, basketball, and volleyball
• Photograph or upload a person's image to register and prioritize up to 10 subjects

Eye Control Focus

Reintroduced in the EOS R3, Eye Control AF allows shooters to use their eye to initiate where the focus point is simply by looking through the electronic viewfinder. The R5 Mark II boasts newly developed camera optics and a revised line-of-sight detection algorithm to nearly double the detection frame rate. The camera integrates Eye Control Focus with its improved subject tracking and recognition algorithms to keep the sighted subject in sharp focus.

High Speed, High-Quality Stills Performance

Electronic Shutter

Chief among the benefits of the new sensor-processor combination is the ability to shoot high-quality, high-resolution images at blazing speed, unlocking mural-sized moments of athletic brilliance, breaking news, or even history. The R5 Mark II has the power to record the ephemeral and commit it to memory on the biggest scale and in astounding detail.

• Continuous shooting speeds of up to 30 fps full-frame raw with reduced shutter distortion, with up to 12 fps when using the mechanical shutter
• Supports always-on blackout-free display when using the electronic shutter
• For indoor sports shooters, the camera effectively suppresses flicker in LED lighting environments by detecting refresh frequencies
• Flash sync speeds of up to 1/250s possible when using electronic front-curtain shutter

Pre-Continuous Shooting

Newly available in the EOS R5 Mark II is the ability to bank up to 15 shots of pre-continuous shooting by half-depressing the shutter button before firing. When the shutter button is fully pressed, the previous half-second of images are written to the memory card, allowing users to "go back in time" to recover a decisive moment they might have missed.

Noise Reduction and In-Camera Upscaling

First and foremost, the R5 Mark II is a camera built for image-makers looking to maximize quality and flexibility. As such, the broad native ISO 100-51200 range suits working in a variety of lighting conditions and the DIGIC Accelerator enables the use of Neural Network Noise Reduction for cleaner images, especially at higher sensitivities.

This same processing power also enables the creation of even higher resolution stills-up to 179MP-via In-Camera Upscaling. This deep learning-based tool doubles the number of pixels horizontally and vertically to produce a larger, more detailed image with maintained sharpness and clarity.

Coordinated Control Image Stabilization

A lightweight, compact build encourages users to hand-wield the camera, and here as elsewhere the R5 Mark II's new innards yield performance gains. Coordinated control helps achieve the optimum hand-shake correction effects, benefitting handheld shooting in low-light conditions and reducing shake when recording videos. The five-axis in-body image stabilizer (IBIS) corrects up to 8.5 stops of unwanted camera shake in the center of the frame and 7.5 at the edges when used in conjunction with compatible. Additionally, Movie Digital IS uses the optical and sensor-shift stabilization methods along with digital IS to help acquire steadier footage while moving.

A Cinema EOS-Integrated 8K Powerhouse

The R5 Mark II inherits many of innovations that made its other relative, the R5 C, a favorite among combination video-stills shooters, and carries over much of its Cinema EOS cousin's features and workflow. Like its predecessors, the 45MP full-frame sensor enables impressively high-resolution DCI 8K raw video recording internally, now up to 60 fps, along with 4K SRAW also at the full sensor width.

Film Simulation Modes

Taking advantage of FUJIFILM's vast history in traditional film-based photography, the X-S20 integrates several Film Simulation modes, which mimic the look and feel of some of FUJIFILM's classic film types, including Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg, PRO Neg, Eterna, Eterna Bleach Bypass, Acros, B&W, and Sepia. In addition to simulating specific film types, a Grain Effect mode is also available to replicate the look of old film photos with an organic textured appearance, which is especially noticeable when printing. Color Chrome and Color Chrome Blue effects are also available to deepen color, tonal response, and gradation with higher saturation colors.
