Overview
The Nikon Zf Mirrorless Camera combines vintage design with modern technology, featuring a full-frame sensor and advanced Z-series capabilities. Its iconic style and tactile controls make it a standout choice for creators seeking timeless imagery.
Iconic Design Inspiring Elite Performance
The Zf Mirrorless Camera's body design recalls the filmic, steel-feel functionalism of vintage SLRs, while its advanced tech delivers timeless imagery.
Immersive and Intuitive Design
Recalling the FM2, the Zf's machined edges, knurled dials, and marbled texture fully immerse you in the experience of operating a beautiful machine. Made from precision-carved brass, the dials for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation have engraved markings for superlative manual control. The mechanical shutter fires with an audible, authoritative click. A dedicated black-and-white mode with two monochrome recipes is available at the tip of a finger.
The camera's electronic viewfinder can be manipulated by touching the 3.2" vari-angle rear LCD screen, allowing you to move focus points, select a subject to track, and toggle between display modes. The rear screen is fully articulating and front-facing for easy navigation and operation at high and low angles.
Other Design Features
- Dual memory card slots offer flexible file storage capabilities; one SD and one microSD permit overflow, segregated, and repetitive saving options.
- A robust magnesium alloy chassis is dust and weather resistant for working in harsh climates and inclement conditions.
- Compatible with optional MC-N10 Remote Grip and AR-11 Soft Shutter Release.
Full-Frame Sensor, Full-Speed Processor
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. The sensor's back-illuminated design affords clean high-sensitivity output for reduced noise at high ISO values. The Zf also features a high-resolution photo mode that combines multiple exposures to create a single 96MP file.
EXPEED 7 Image Processor
- Utilizing the same powerful processing engine used in the Z9 and Z8, the EXPEED 7 Image processor realizes fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick handling.
- Enhanced with Deep Learning technology, the camera features an auto mode that analyzes your shooting situation and automatically adjusts aperture, ISO, and shutter speed.
- Extremely fast 30 fps burst rate with silent mechanical shutter and 14 fps burst rate with mechanical shutter.
- Pre-release capture records up to 30 JPEGS a full second before shutter is released.
Advanced Video, Autofocus, and Stabilization
UHD 4K Recording and Versatile Video Control
- New shutter-priority exposure mode lets you record with a fixed shutter speed, making smooth adjustments to ISO and aperture.
- Oversampled from 6K, UHD 4K video recording is possible with full pixel readout up to 30p, and Full HD 1080p video recording is supported up to 120p for slow motion playback.
- Internal recording up to 125 minutes directly to a memory card with 10-bit H.265 in SDR/HLG/N-log tone modes.
Fast and Intelligent AF
- The Zf's autofocus system recognizes a wide range of common subjects and uses Deep Learning technology for precise focus and tracking.
- Eye-Detection AF for photo and video automatically locks onto the eyes of people, pets, and birds, even when they're extremely small in the frame.
Vibration Reduction
- In-body 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction compensates for up to 8 stops of camera shake with Z-mount lenses.
- Focus point vibration reduction system applies stabilization to the area around the active focus point.
Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) Lens
Featuring a stylish, vintage-inspired design, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) is a versatile, everyday prime lens. It offers a bright f/2 maximum aperture and a compact, portable form factor, making it perfect for walkaround shooting.
Special Edition Design
This Special Edition version features a retro-inspired design with checked knurling, a contrasting silver band, and a vintage NIKKOR logo.
Optical Features
Wide-normal prime lens is designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and can also be used with DX-format models, providing a 60mm equivalent focal length. The bright f/2 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and offers increased control over depth of field.
Two aspherical elements help limit spherical aberrations and distortion for high sharpness and accurate rendering. Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity.
Focusing and Control
Stepping motor delivers smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance. Full-time manual focus override is possible, and an internal focusing design maintains the overall length of the lens during use.
Programmable Control Ring can adjust manual focus, aperture, or exposure compensation. Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality for shallow depth of field techniques.
