Sporting a retro design, the sleek and stylish Nikon Z fc is a cropped mirrorless camera with the versatile Z-mount and is capable for both stills and video applications. Its DX-format 20.9MP CMOS sensor is coupled with the EXPEED 6 image processor to achieve fast overall performance as well as provide high sensitivity, nuanced image quality. The EXPEED 6 processor enables a high full-resolution continuous shooting rate of 11 fps and UHD 4K video recording at 30 fps. A broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 - 51200 allows for working in a variety of lighting conditions, and is expandable up to ISO 204800 to cater for extreme low-light situations. The combination of resolution and sensor size promotes clean imagery with reduced noise throughout the sensitivity range and smooth colour transitions. The sensor design also features a reliable 209-point hybrid AF system which provides fast and accurate focusing for both stills and video applications as well as support Eye Detection AF for locking focus onto subjects eyes. UHD 4K video recording at up to 30 fps, Full HD recording at up to 120 fps, and slow motion effects are supported by the Z fc. Photos and video can be saved to the in-camera memory card. In addition, in-camera time-lapse shooting is also possible.
Reminiscent of Nikons classic SLR film camera heritage, the physical design of the Z fc is characterised by several familiar physical controls such as dedicated precision-carved aluminium dials with engraved markings and mechanical controls for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. A large 3.0" 2.36m-dot LCD touchscreen affords bright, clear, and vivid image playback and live view shooting, along with intuitive menu navigations and settings control. In addition, the vari-angle touchscreen benefits front-facing selfies. A high-resolution 2.36m-dot OLED EVF provides clear and sharp eye-level viewing and benefits working in brignt conditions. For working in inclement or harsh conditions, the robust magnesium alloy body is dust-resistant and weather-sealed. Built-in Wi-Fi and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) enables wireless photo and video sharing and remote camera control via its built-in Nikon SnapBridge connectivity. Live streaming and web conferencing is possible via a separately purchased USB Type-C cable. The Z fc comes supplied with a rechargeable battery, a battery charger, a camera strap, a body cap, and a rubber eye cup.
