The full-frame, creator-inspired Zf Mirrorless Camera proves once again that good style never goes away, in Nikon's line of digital throwbacks. Its insides are nonetheless outfitted with the latest in Z-series features and capabilities, turning the Zf's iconic silhouette into a modern and tactile shooter that uses its advanced tech to deliver timeless imagery. 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. 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. 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. 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. It allows Internal recording up to 125 minutes directly to a memory card with 10-bit H.265 in SDR/HLG/N-log tone modes.
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.
It comes with 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. 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. It Provides front-facing screen with touch controls for easy content creation on-the-go.
Dedicated switch for instantly toggling in real-time between color and black and white capture. Compatible with optional MC-N10 Remote Grip and AR-11 Soft Shutter Release. 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. A robust magnesium alloy chassis is both dust and weather-resistant, allowing you to work in harsh climates and inclement conditions.
The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S is a versatile zoom, spanning wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture maintains a consistent exposure throughout the zoom range and also helps to realize a more compact and lightweight alternative to an f/2.8 zoom. Both Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings have also been applied to control flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color rendering in bright and backlit conditions. A programmable control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and exposure settings. Additionally, the lens has a button-less retractable barrel to realize a more compact form factor when not in use. Constant f/4 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also contributes to the relatively lightweight design and compact form factor. A Nano Crystal Coat, along with a Super Integrated Coating, has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting. 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. A specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates. Exposed elements feature a fluorine coating that affords protection to the optical system against dust, grease, and water droplets.
