Niji 5
Niji 5 emphasizes dramatic illustration, organized light and shadow, and precise small details. It launched in April 2023.
What the release provides

How to use it well
Practical guidance. Use this model when a consistent illustrative treatment matters more than literal photographic appearance. Compare the same composition at several stylize values before changing the subject description.
