Nikon Z6II Mirrorless Camera with NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens

The Nikon Z6II paired with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S creates a versatile full-frame system for photography and video. Covering wide-angle through short-telephoto perspectives, this compact S-Line zoom is an excellent match for portraits, travel, events, landscapes, commercial work and everyday photography.

The Z6II combines a 24.5-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor with dual EXPEED 6 processors, five-axis in-body stabilization and two memory-card slots. The included 24-70mm lens adds a constant f/4 aperture, premium optics and weather-resistant construction without making the kit unnecessarily large or heavy.

🔭 A Versatile 24-70mm Zoom Range

The included NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S covers many of the most frequently used full-frame focal lengths:

• 24mm: Landscapes, architecture, interiors and establishing shots

• 35mm: Street photography, environmental portraits and travel

• 50mm: Natural everyday perspectives and half-length portraits

• 70mm: Portraits, details and tighter compositions

This useful range allows photographers to move quickly between wide views and close compositions without changing lenses. It is an excellent starting point for a Nikon Z system and a dependable everyday zoom for experienced photographers.

🌟 Constant f/4 Aperture

The lens maintains its f/4 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range. Exposure settings therefore remain consistent as the lens is zoomed from 24mm to 70mm.

The constant aperture is particularly beneficial for:

• Manual-exposure photography

• Event coverage

• Studio work

• Video recording

• On-location lighting

• Panoramas and stitched images

Although not as bright as an f/2.8 zoom, its smaller size and lighter weight make the 24-70mm f/4 S especially comfortable for travel and extended handheld use.

🔎 Premium S-Line Optics

As part of Nikon’s S-Line, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S is designed to deliver high resolution, excellent contrast and consistent performance throughout the frame.

Its optical construction incorporates specialized elements to control chromatic aberration, distortion and loss of sharpness toward the edges. Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat helps reduce flare and ghosting when photographing backlit scenes or working around bright light sources.

The result is crisp detail, natural color and strong contrast across its zoom range.

🎒 Compact Retractable Design

The 24-70mm f/4 S retracts when not in use, reducing the overall size of the camera and lens combination for transportation and storage.

A simple twist of the zoom ring extends the lens into its operating position. This gives photographers the handling and optical benefits of an S-Line zoom in a kit that remains practical for travel, hiking and daily use.

🌄 24.5MP Full-Frame Image Quality

The Z6II’s 24.5-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor offers an excellent balance of detail, dynamic range, low-light ability and manageable file size.

Its full-frame format provides smooth tonal transitions and greater control over depth of field. The sensor’s native ISO range extends from 100 to 51,200 and can be expanded when working in especially difficult lighting.

This combination is equally comfortable creating detailed landscapes, softly rendered portraits and clean available-light photographs.

⚡ Dual EXPEED 6 Processing

Two EXPEED 6 processors provide fast camera operation, responsive autofocus and an expanded shooting buffer.

Continuous shooting is available at up to 14 frames per second under compatible settings, helping the Z6II capture brief expressions, movement and rapidly unfolding moments.

The processors also contribute to quick image review, reliable subject tracking and responsive menu operation.

🎯 273-Point Hybrid Autofocus

The Z6II uses 273 phase- and contrast-detection autofocus points distributed across a broad portion of the image.

Eye-detection autofocus assists with portraits by concentrating focus on a person’s eye. Animal-detection supports dogs and cats, making the camera a useful option for pet and family photography.

The 24-70mm f/4 S uses a fast, quiet stepping motor that is well suited to both still photography and video recording.

🛡️ Five-Axis In-Body Stabilization

Five-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction helps minimize camera shake with the included lens. Stabilization can provide up to approximately five stops of compensation under appropriate conditions.

This is especially useful for:

• Handheld photography in dim interiors

• Evening city scenes

• Landscapes without a tripod

• Available-light event photography

• Smoother handheld video

• Close-up detail photographs

Because stabilization is built into the camera, many other compatible Z-mount and adapted F-mount lenses can also benefit.

🌸 Close-Focusing Capability

The 24-70mm f/4 S focuses as close as approximately 0.3 metres throughout its zoom range.

This makes it suitable for photographing food, products, flowers, crafts and travel details. While it does not replace a dedicated macro lens, its close-focusing ability adds considerable flexibility to an everyday kit.

🎥 Capable 4K Video System

The Z6II records 4K UHD video at up to 30p using the full sensor width. It can also record 4K UHD at up to 60p with a DX-format crop.

Full HD recording at up to 120p provides options for smooth slow-motion playback.

Video-oriented features include:

• Focus peaking

• Zebra exposure warnings

• Timecode support

• Microphone input

• Headphone output

• Clean HDMI output

• External 10-bit N-Log and HLG recording

• In-body and electronic stabilization options

The lens’s quiet autofocus motor and constant aperture make it particularly useful for interviews, documentary work, instructional videos and general content production.

💾 Dual Memory-Card Slots

The Z6II includes two memory-card slots:

• One CFexpress Type B or XQD slot

• One UHS-II SD card slot

Files can be recorded to both cards simultaneously for backup, divided between RAW and JPEG formats or stored using overflow recording.

CFexpress Type B media supports fast image writing and extended bursts, while the SD slot provides convenient compatibility with widely available cards.

👁️ Detailed Electronic Viewfinder

The camera’s 3.69-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder provides a large, clear viewing experience with approximately 0.8x magnification and 100% frame coverage.

Exposure, white balance, picture controls and depth of field can be previewed before taking the photograph, making it easier to evaluate the finished appearance of an image.

🖥️ Tilting Touchscreen

The 3.2-inch, 2.1-million-dot touchscreen monitor tilts upward and downward for comfortable high- and low-angle photography.

Touch operation can be used for autofocus-point selection, shutter release, menu navigation and image review. The tilting design is especially helpful for landscapes, street photography and tripod-mounted work.

🌦️ Built for Regular Use

Both the Z6II and 24-70mm f/4 S are designed with sealing to resist dust and moisture. The camera uses a strong magnesium-alloy structure, while the lens includes a fluorine-coated front element that is easier to clean.

The kit is not waterproof, but its durable construction makes it well suited to travel, events and outdoor assignments when reasonable care is taken.
