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 28-75mm f/2.8 Lens

The Nimble Standard Zoom

Lightweight, nimble, and fast, the NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 is the sleekest f/2.8 zoom for FX-format cameras Nikon has ever produced. Spanning a wide-angle to portrait-length range and featuring a bright design that excels in low-light and for controlling depth of field, this lens is all about versatility in a compact package.

Optics

Covering wide-angle to short-telephoto focal lengths, this lens is ideal for a variety of shooting situations, including landscape, street, portraiture, documentary, and travel applications.
Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture benefits working in available lighting conditions and offers increased control over depth of field for working with selective focus effects.

One Super ED element and one extra-low dispersion element greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to produce greater clarity and color rendering.
Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

Autofocus

Stepping motor maintains quick and quiet autofocus performance that's ideal for both photo and video needs.
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.
Minimum focusing distance of 7.5" benefits working with close-up subjects.
Focus breathing has been suppressed to benefit video use and maintain a consistent field of view when changing focus.

Physical Design

Impressively compact and lightweight design for an f/2.8 standard zoom, this lens measures just 4.8" long when retracted and weighs 30% less than the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens.
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.
Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions. There is also an antifouling coating on the front of the lens that resists smudging, fingerprints, and dirt and is easy to clean.
