Product Overview
With dual processors, enhanced autofocus capabilities, and superb low light performance, Nikon's Z 6II is the versatile still / video crossover camera you've been waiting for. The 24.5 MP high sensitivity, low noise BIS (Back Illuminated Sensor) delivers vivid, color-rich images at up to 4K @ 60p. A pair of integrated card slots allow for recording and/or backup of those images as separate video and still files or RAW and JPEG to CFExpress, XQD, and standard SD cards. Your camera, your workflow! Continuous shooting at 14 FPS and wonderfully nimble autofocus performance allow the accurate capture of high-motion subjects with smooth precision. And if what you're focusing on has eyes, Nikon's Eye-Detection AF will lock in and deliver their soul to your portrait. It even operates when shooting video. Then when you're finished shooting, transfer your data wirelessly to a Mac or PC for editing using the free Transmitter utility software. Of course, if you can't wait to share, the free Webcam utility allows you to live stream without extra cables, power adapters, or additional hardware when connected via USB-C to a computer (sold separately).
