Nikon Zf Overview

Nikon Zf Mirrorless Camera

Performance to Inspire

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.

24.5MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor

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.

EXPEED 7 Image Processor

Complementing the sensor is an advanced processing engine, the EXPEED 7, which 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.

UHD 4K Recording

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 directly to a memory card with 10-bit SDR/HLG/N-log tone modes.

Fast and Intelligent AF

Utilizing deep learning technology, automatic Subject Detection now recognizes nine distinct subject types. With this AF system, subjects are automatically detected, focused on, and tracked to ensure sharp focus when the subject is moving across the frame. Additionally, the Zf also features 3D Tracking, which locks onto fast, erratically-moving subjects that move parallel and perpendicular to the camera.

Vibration Reduction

In-body 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction compensates for up to 8 stops of camera shake when paired with Z-mount lenses. 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, which maximizes VR based on the location of your focus point.

Body Design

A large 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 Z f's touchscreen to move focus points, select a subject to track, and toggle between display modes, all while using the viewfinder.
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.
Compatible with optional MC-N10 Remote Grip and AR-11 Soft Shutter Release.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S Lens

All-in-One Versatility

A truly versatile everyday lens, the NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S, from Nikon, is a wide-angle to short-telephoto zoom covering an extremely useful range of focal lengths to benefit a variety of applications from landscape to portraiture. The constant f/4 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and the lens features an advanced optical design for high sharpness and clarity. As a go-to lens for a majority of needs, this lens also sports a relatively compact and lightweight design.

Optical Design

Featuring a combination of three ED elements, one aspherical ED element, and three aspherical elements, both chromatic and spherical aberrations are effectively eliminated throughout the zoom range for notable sharpness and clarity.
ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats are used to prevent ghosting, reflections, and flare in order to realize improved contrast and clarity when working in strong lighting and backlit conditions. The Nano Crystal Coat controls incidental light from a diagonal direction while the ARNEO Coat controls incidental light from a vertical direction.

Autofocus

Multi-focus system incorporates two separate AF drive units, which are synchronized, to deliver especially fast and accurate focusing throughout the zoom range. This system uses stepping motors, which offer impressively smooth and quiet 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.
Dedicated manual focus ring at the rear of the lens for tactile and precise control over the focus position.
Minimum focusing distance of 1.1', along with a maximum magnification of 0.39x, benefits working with close-up subjects.

Handling and Design

Programmable Control Ring can be used to control aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation.
Assignable L.Fn button works in conjunction with camera-based Fn buttons to provide seamless points for quickly changing exposure settings and other functions.
Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel, along with a front fluorine coating, benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions.
