Which Nikon cameras have Eye-Detection AF?

These are the current Nikon cameras that feature the company's Eye-Detection AF technology for ensuring pin-sharp eyes in portraits

Nikon introduced Eye AF technology – which it calls Eye-Detection AF – to its Z series range in May 2019 via a firmware update.

Firmware version 2.0 for the Nikon Z6 and Z7 added the new feature, which automatically detects and focuses on human eyes in the cameras’ auto-area AF mode. Then came firmware version 3.0 which added Animal-detection AF, which also looks for dog and cat eyes.

Eye-Detection AF works in both AF-S and AF-C focus modes, and in a group setting you can use the camera’s joystick to move across different people (or animals) – and eyes – within the crowd.

Here’s a good tutorial on how to use Nikon’s Eye-Detection AF. And here is a quick guide on how to update your Nikon Z6 or Z7 firmware.
