NIKON Z7 II OVERVIEW
The Nikon Z7 II builds on everything the
first model did well and enhances it even further with better processing and
increased versatility while maintaining a familiar design. With its dual EXPEED
6 image processors and high-resolution 45.7MP FX-format BSI CMOS sensor, the Z7
II is obviously designed for photographers who place a premium on fine details.
The optical low-pass filter is not included
in the sensor's architecture, allowing for better detail recording, and the
sensor offers native sensitivity ranges as low as ISO 64 for lush, rich
capture. A quicker 10 fps continuous shooting rate and a larger buffer for
working with moving subjects are additional results of updated processing.
Additionally, UHD 4K 60p video is enabled, and N-Log or HLG (HDR) recording in
10-bit externally is an option. The sensor also features a 493-point
phase-detection AF system, which can focus in low light down to -4.5 EV and now
enables Eye-Detect AF in Wide-Area AF settings and during movie recording.
Additionally, with any mounted lens, 5-axis in-body Vibration Reduction helps
to reduce the appearance of camera shake.
The Z7 II maintains its overall physical form
while balancing the imaging, but it has been enhanced with a new dual memory
card slot interface that can accommodate one SD UHS-II card and CFexpress Type B card for more versatile
storage. Both the rear 3.2" 2.1m-dot tilting touchscreen LCD and the
high-resolution 3.6m-dot OLED EVF offer versatility for image composition and
playback. SnapBridge wireless connectivity can be used for remote camera
operation, image sharing to a mobile device, and even over-the-air software
updates.
UHD 4K recording at 60p and 50p frame rates
is enabled by firmware version 1.10, as is raw video output to Blackmagic
Design Video Assist external recorders, and eye-detection performance while
utilising Auto-Area AF and Wide-Area AF modes.
Dual
EXPEED 6 Processors and 45.7MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor
In order to facilitate continuous shooting,
movies, and time-lapse recording, a 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor is used. It also
boasts exceptional low-light quality and quick readout times. The sensor's
back-illuminated construction enables significantly clean high-sensitivity
output and decreased noise while operating at high ISO values, up to a native
ISO 25600, as well as vibrant and smooth clarity at sensitivities as low as ISO
64. In order to get the best clarity and resolution out of the sensor, the
traditional optical low-pass filter was also left out of the design. Dual
EXPEED 6 image processors benefit the sensor by enabling a plethora of speed
across the camera system, including the capacity to shoot continuously at 10
fps for as much as 50 consecutive frames.
UHD
4K Video Recording
The Z7 II is a more-than-capable multimedia
camera since it uses the sensor and processor's capabilities for purposes other
than still images. Up to 120p Full HD 1080p video recording is supported for
slow motion playback, as well as up to 60p UHD 4K video recording. The
in-camera memory cards can be used to store video recordings, or an optional
external recorder via HDMI out can receive them as an uncompressed file.
The Z7 II now has more sophisticated video
features, like as HLG (HDR) for recording HDR-ready footage and N-Log gamma for
flattened film that maximises dynamic range. Other improvements include an
Electronic VR feature for fluid handheld filming and the ability to export
high-quality 10-bit data over HDMI. In addition to a Zebra Stripes feature that
may be used to detect overexposed parts of the frame, Focus Peaking can be
utilised to improve manual focus control. Live monitoring is enabled via the
headphone jack, and audio recording can be handled using the built-in stereo
microphone or an extra external mic that can be attached via the 3.5mm stereo
port for better control over quality.
493-Point
Phase-Detect AF System
An array of 493 phase-detect autofocus points
on the sensor is responsible for 90% of the image's vertical and horizontal
coverage. With a wide coverage area, subject tracking will extend to the
corners of the frame. This enables quick and precise focusing for both still
images and video. For smooth focus during recording, hybrid AF is an option,
which will automatically swap between phase- and contrast-detect systems. The
newest NIKKOR Z lenses are also designed to operate quietly.
Vibration
Reduction
Regardless of the Z-type lens being utilised,
in-body 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction can reduce camera shake by up
to 5 stops. When employing the extra FTZ Adapter and 3-axis stabilisation, this
system also functions with modified F-mount lenses.
