Capture the spark.
A camera designed for the way you shoot. No viewfinder. Just a beautiful touchscreen that feels instantly familiar and invites a more casual, expressive way of shooting. Everything you love about the simplicity and connectivity of smartphone photography, elevated with the spectacular image quality and creative freedom of a full-frame interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. Available in two stylish finishes.

Image Quality
Expressive.
The Z5IIC captures more than how a moment looks—it captures how it feels. Three-dimensional depth that pulls you in. Softly blurred backgrounds that make your subjects stand out. Natural skin tones that flatter every complexion. Even in near darkness, the mood and atmosphere of the moment shine through.

Bigger sensor. Bigger emotion.
Full-frame mirrorless camera sensors are approx. 12x larger than flagship smartphone sensors, gathering more light to reveal greater depth, detail and richness in every photo and video.

Memories preserved beautifully.

Performance Effortless.
While you’re focused on the perfect composition, the Z5IIC is detecting subjects, finding focus and optimizing settings to deliver beautiful photos and videos. When you want to go deeper, more control is at your fingertips: easy to use Scene Modes, high-speed frame rates and more—all the way up to full manual control when you want it.

Scene Modes. Made for the moment.
When you want more creative control, like blurring backgrounds or softening skin tones in portraits, simply choose the Scene Mode that matches the moment. Take the guesswork out of getting great results, so you can focus on composition.

Handling
Spontaneous.
Wonder is always waiting around the next corner. The Z5IIC is ready. Its flat-top design slips easily out of your bag, powering on with the flick of a switch. You frame the shot in an instant, controlling the camera with one hand from the comfortable grip. And since there’s no viewfinder, your eyes can stay on the action, anticipating every smile, expression and gesture.

A familiar, expressive style of shooting.
Compose on the Vari-angle touchscreen just like you do on your phone, but with more control when shooting from the hip, overhead, down low or anywhere inspiration takes you.

Creativity
Vibes.
Your camera. Your creative rules. The Z5IIC makes it fun and easy to play with color, tone and texture, experiment with different aesthetics and develop a look that’s unmistakably yours—right in the camera. Consider it your artistic playground.
