Nikon Mirrorless Cameras>Z f with Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 SE Lens – Black

Push Boundaries, Express Individuality

The Z f camera is designed to help you express your individual style. It now includes a specialised monochrome control feature with three settings- Flat Monochrome, Deep Tone Monochrome, and Monochrome. With these options, you can create stunning black and white photography and videography. Use the B/W setting to focus on the contrast between light and dark, and capture a variety of scenes, from landscapes to portraits to cityscapes.

Suitable for both still photography and moving images, Picture Control and Creative Picture Control functions permit users to utilise colour for conveying emotions, ambient temperature, and the mood inherent to the moment of capture. Photographers specialising in weddings and portraits will value the newly introduced [Rich tone portrait] option, which enables the preservation of skin texture while enriching overall tones. Select from a collection of 20 Creative Picture Control types and 11 standard Picture Control settings, then validate your chosen impact via real-time images directly through the lens.

New Expressions, Expand Possibilities

The Z f features enhanced video performance allowing for more authentic production of stills and videos. With H.265 10-bit in-camera recording and N-Log/HLG recording support, subjects such as landscapes, architecture, and portraits that have delicate details can be beautifully and accurately depicted. Users can also shoot with minimum gear and without the need for an external recorder. With up to 125 minutes of 4K UHD/60p video recording, the Z f enables full-scale video recording with sufficient recording duration. In addition, it supports the recording of 4K UHD video using 6K oversampling, enabling creation of high-resolution videos. The camera also features Video S mode, which enables users to control auto exposure with a fixed shutter speed. This is especially useful when the brightness is constantly changing outdoors due to cloud movement or the scene includes a significant difference in brightness, such as from bright sunlight to shade.

Introducing pixel-shift shooting, an all-new feature with the Z fc. Capturing high-definition images of detailed subjects is now possible thanks to this advanced feature. Users can now shoot multiple NEF (RAW) files while shifting image sensor positions utilising in-camera VR when the camera is fixed with a tripod or other equipment. Through NX Studio, it merges multiple NEF (RAW) files; select 4 shots/8 shots/16 shots/32 shots and the resulting images can be compiled to produce high-definition images with increased resolution and colour reproduction, and reduced moiré, false colour, and noise – ideal for subjects with a lot of details such as art objects, insects, and minerals.

Advanced Functionality, Exceptional Optical Performance

With the Z f, enjoy superior AF performance with wide support from easy to more particular shoots. The AF-area mode includes 3D-tracking in photo mode and subject-tracking in video mode, and an improved tracking capability when moving subjects such as pets and vehicles are detected, thanks to EXPEED 7 image processor.

Users can focus on framing their shots as the AF detects various subjects in frame without the need to change settings. The AF can detect human faces of approximately 3% in size (which is the world’s smallest), and it enables easy focusing in low-light situations down to -10 EV, such as during nighttime, moonlit landscapes, and indoor portraits. EXPEED 7 also enables continuous shooting at the maximum continuous shooting speed, regardless of the AF-area modes.

Users will also be able to capture small, difficult-to-focus subjects like distant subjects in a wide coverage area with high accuracy, enabling them to shoot their intended composition quickly. This is thanks to the Z f’s wider range coverage and the increase in the number of focus points available with auto-area AF.

Whether capturing portraits or snapshots of people, achieve the intended expression regardless of the environment you’re in, with the combination of superior AF performance and wide support to capture easy and more particular shoots. Thanks to EXPEED 7, users can capture dark scenes beautifully as noise is suppressed even when ISO sensitivity is increased, thereby expanding the range of shooting dark scenes such as night landscapes and indoor portraits.

The Z f features enhanced VR performance; the in-camera Vibration Reduction of 8.0 stops expands the range of handheld shooting to include low-light indoor and long exposure shots. For the first time in the world, focus point VR has also been incorporated to suppress blur near the focus point in an image, even in compositions where the subject is positioned at the periphery. This enables users to casually shoot handheld, regardless of the brightness and composition, and thereby expand their range of expressions.

The Z f also boasts a few firsts: It is fitted with the first Vari-angle monitor in the full-frame/FX-format Z series, which enables flexibility when composing stills or video shots such as overhead, low angle for shooting feet, or selfies. The camera is also the first touch-operation camera in the Z series, allowing users to easily change settings via touch operation on the monitor while focusing on the framing their composition from the viewfinder.

Sophisticated Design, Effortless Operability

Delight in your creative-filled pursuits with the meticulously crafted Z f. Inheriting the FM2’s philosophy of going beyond an entry model, the Z f features a glossy black finish with a sophisticated feel on a magnesium body and a grip that provides a good hold with FX lenses. Its brass dials focus on the quality of material combined with a comfortable operational feel. In addition, users can choose from 6 different colours in premium embossed leather exterior.
