Designed for modern-day content creators, the Nikon Zf Mirrorless Camera delivers full-frame image quality and UHD 4K video recording in a classic-looking retro-styled camera body. Offering exceptional low-light imaging performance, fast and efficient autofocus, an advanced 8-stop 5-axis vibration reduction system, high-resolution pixel-shift shooting technology, and a large 3.2" vari-angle touchscreen, this sophisticated camera is optimized for all your image-making and video needs.
A 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor is used for all-around shooting, impressive low-light image quality, and fast readout speeds to benefit continuous shooting, movies, and time-lapse recording. The back-illuminated design of the sensor also affords noticeably clean high-sensitivity output for reduced noise when working at high ISO values. Additionally, the Zf features a high-resolution photo mode that combines multiple exposures to create a single 96MP file.
Utilizing the same powerful processing engine used in the Z9 and Z8, the camera's EXPEED 7 Image processor works in conjunction with the sensor design to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling. Enhanced with Deep Learning technology, the camera features an auto mode that analyzes your shooting situation and automatically adjusts aperture, ISO, and shutter speed to match your intentions. With this setting you can automatically capture portraits with beautiful background blur or have all the faces in focus for a group shot. Extremely fast 30 fps burst rate with silent mechanical shutter and 14 fps burst rate with mechanical shutter.
New shutter-priority exposure mode lets you record with a fixed shutter speed, making smooth adjustments to ISO and aperture to maintain even brightness in your shot. Matching the camera's high-end photo attributes, the Zf offers a variety of frame rates and resolutions for all your video needs. Oversampled from 6K, UHD 4K video recording is possible with full pixel readout up to 30p, and Full HD 1080p video recording is also supported up to 120p for slow motion playback. Internal recording up to 125 minutes directly to a memory card with 10-bit H.265 in SDR/HLG/N-log tone modes. Like the Z9 and Z8, the Zf's autofocus system recognizes a wide range of common subjects — people, cats, dogs, birds, bicycles, motorbikes, cars, aircraft, and trains — and uses Deep Learning technology to provide exactly the right focus and tracking for each. Eye-Detection AF for photo and video automatically locks onto the eyes of people, pets, and birds, even when they're extremely small in the frame. For the first time, the feature is also available for manual focus lenses, automatically magnifying the area around the eyes so you can quickly confirm sharp focus.
In-body 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction compensates for up to 8 stops of camera shake when paired with Z-mount lenses, letting you slow shutter speed an amazing 8.0 stops slower than would otherwise be possible without causing image blur. Additionally, this system also works with adapted F-mount lenses when using the optional FTZ Adapter, where 3-axis stabilization is used. Focus point vibration reduction system applies stabilization to the area around the active focus point, wherever it is in the frame, providing precise correction right where you need it. Precision carved aluminum dials with engraved markings and mechanical controls for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. Intuitive functions also enable easy access to auto mode, quick settings, and the menu help guide. Using the shutter speed dial, 1/8000 to 4 sec shutter speeds are available as are bulb, time, and flash sync.
A large fully articulating 3.2" vari-angle touchscreen is available for bright and clear image playback and live view shooting. The screen allows you to work from high and low angles, while its touchscreen design enables intuitive operation, navigation, and setting control. The camera also now features a new Touch Fn function, which allows you to simultaneously use the Zf's touchscreen to move focus points, select a subject to track, and toggle between display modes, all while using the viewfinder.
Provides front-facing screen with touch controls for easy content creation on-the-go. Pre-release capture records up to 30 JPEGS a full second before shutter is released. Dedicated switch for instantly toggling in real-time between color and black and white capture. Dual memory card slots offering flexible file storage capabilities; one SD and one microSD permit overflow, segregated, and repetitive saving options. A robust magnesium alloy chassis is both dust and weather-resistant, allowing you to work in harsh climates and inclement conditions. Compatible with optional MC-N10 Remote Grip and AR-11 Soft Shutter Release.
Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) Lens
Featuring a stylish, vintage-inspired design, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) is a versatile, everyday prime straddling wide-angle and normal fields of view and featuring a bright f/2 maximum aperture. The distinct focal length is wide enough for spontaneous shooting but still tight enough for portraiture and selective focus shooting. Additionally, the lens's compact, portable form factor makes it perfect for walkaround shooting and equally well-suited to use on FX or DX-format camera bodies.
In terms of handling, a stepping motor AF system offers quiet and smooth focusing performance that benefits both stills and video capture and a programmable control ring can also be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and exposure settings. This Special Edition version of the Z 40mm f/2 lens features a retro-inspired design with checked knurling on the lens body, a contrasting silver band, and a vintage NIKKOR logo and typeface that mimics the look of lenses used on classic Nikon FM film cameras.
Wide-normal prime lens is designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and can also be used with DX-format models, where it provides a 60mm equivalent focal length. Bright f/2 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects using depth of field. Two aspherical elements are featured in the optical design and help to limit spherical aberrations and distortion in order to achieve high sharpness and accurate rendering. Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation. Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
