Adoption of the new, higher-capacity EN-EL15c Rechargeable Li-ion Battery and support for USB power delivery when the camera is turned on enables use over longer periods of time, making outdoor recording and recording of images for time-lapse movies easier. Effective sealing applied to the camera offers highly reliable dust- and drip-resistance.

Signature features of the Z series, including the electronic viewfinder that supports clear and natural viewing, and the 3.2-inch tilting TFT touch-sensitive LCD monitor, enable smooth and intuitive operation that allows the user to better concentrate on creative activities. Support for the SnapBridge app enables the transfer of photos and videos to, and remote camera operation from, a smart device.

The Z 5 has an effective pixel count of 24.3 megapixels and is equipped with a Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 6 image-processing engine, covering a broad range of standard ISO sensitivities — ISO 100-51200. This enables clear rendering of textures and details, while suppressing noise, even when recording in dark or dimly lit surroundings.

The Z 5 also offers 20 Creative Picture Controls that enable unique and original expression. Each Creative Picture Control theme provides a unique combination of hue, tone, saturation, and other settings tuned for a particular effect. In addition, individual parameters can be adjusted to suit individual preferences and expand power of expression. Creative Picture Controls can also be applied with movie recording at all sizes, including 4K UHD.

A touch screen that provides intuitive operation with autofocusing, shutter release, and even settings adjustment has been adopted for the 3.2-inch tilting TFT LCD monitor. The new EN-EL15c Rechargeable Li-ion Battery has an increased capacity that enables the capture of approximately 470* photos with a single charge. What's more, in addition to conventional USB charging, the Z 5 also supports USB power delivery while on.

This new feature allows users to comfortably focus on recording movies and time-lapse movies for longer periods of time. The camera is also compatible with the SnapBridge app, which can be used to transfer photos and videos recorded with the camera to a smart device, and to control camera operation remotely from a smart device. This allows users to easily share their images with others via social media.

Additionally, in response to user feedback, double memory card slots that support readily available SD cards (UHS-II) have been adopted, a first for Nikon mirrorless cameras.

The Nikon Z5 Body + Z 24-50mm Lens & Z 50-250mm Lens Kit comes with a full 2 year Australian warranty.
