Nikon Z50 II Mirrorless Camera
A Compact Powerhouse for Discovery and Play
A powerful yet compact mirrorless system made for rising creators, the Nikon Z50 II Mirrorless Camera combines a 20.9MP APS-C CMOS sensor and an interchangeable lens mount with a host of flagship features and compatibility with the entire NIKKOR Z lens lineup to elevate your content beyond the smartphone.
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 combination 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-out articulating 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.
  • The included EN-EL25a rechargeable lithium-ion battery extends camera battery life, with in-camera charging also supported.
  • Single SD memory card slot supports the UHS-II protocol for quickly storing photo and video files.

Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR Lens (Nikon Z)

Designed for Z-mount cameras with APS-C sensors, the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR Lens from Nikon is a versatile zoom that provides a 24 to 75mm full-frame equivalent field of view. Its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture ensures consistent exposure control, smooth background separation, and reliable low-light performance across the zoom range. Weighing just 11.6 oz and measuring 3.5" long, it combines portability with strong imaging capabilities, making it the ideal tool for travel, street photography, portraiture, and a wide variety of other scenarios.

The NIKKOR zoom lens features a 9-blade rounded iris that produces natural, circular bokeh, while its minimum focusing distance of 5.9" at the wide end allows detailed close-up work. Vibration Reduction provides up to 4.5 stops of stabilization for sharper handheld shots, and the STM-driven autofocus system delivers fast, quiet performance suitable for both stills and video. A user-assignable control ring enables smooth adjustment of settings such as aperture, ISO, or exposure, while minimized focus breathing supports natural-looking video capture.

No, the Nikon Z50 II Mirrorless Camera does not have in-camera focus stacking. There is a feature called Focus Shift Shooting for focus bracketing, which automatically takes a series of photos at different focus distances, but they must be combined in postproduction with a computer.
