Nikon Zf Mirrorless Camera with 50mm f/1.4 Lens and Essentials+ Kit

Iconic Design Inspiring Elite Performance

The most powerful entry yet in Nikon's line of digital throwbacks, the full-frame, creator-inspired Zf Mirrorless Camera proves once again that good style never goes away. While the camera's body design retrieves the filmic, steel-feel functionalism of vintage SLRs, 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.

Recalling the FM2, Nikon's mechanical workhorse of yesteryear, the Zf's machined edges, knurled dials, and marbled texture fully immerse you in the sensual 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 as well.

This intuitive, haptic-friendly design doesn't apply solely to the camera's retro-style controls. The camera's electronic viewfinder, which lies in a prism-shaped housing that is as pleasing to the bony orbit as it is to the eye, can now be manipulated by touching the 3.2" vari-angle rear LCD screen, so you can move focus points, select a subject to track, and toggle between display modes all while your eye remains resting against the viewfinder. The rear screen is also fully articulating and front-facing for easy navigation and operation at high and low angles.

Other design features include:

• 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.

 

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.

• 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.
• 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 keep all faces in focus for a group shot.
• 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.

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 to maintain even brightness in your shot.
• 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 up to 125 minutes directly to a memory card with 10-bit H.265 in SDR/HLG/N-log tone modes.

• Like the Z9 and Z8, the Zf's autofocus system recognizes a wide range of common subjects ? people, cats, dogs, birds, bicycles, motorbikes, cars, aircraft, and trains ? and uses Deep Learning technology to provide exactly the right focus and tracking for each.
• 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. 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.

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, 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.
• Focus point vibration reduction system applies stabilization to the area around the active focus point, wherever it is in the frame, providing precise correction right where you need it.

Featuring a tried and true focal length for photographic success, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 Lens from Nikon avails users a natural perspective that effectively captures portraits, landscapes, snapshots, and more. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture makes drawing attention to your subject effortless by blurring backgrounds and producing smooth, distinct bokeh. This prime also excels in low-light situations, allowing you to keep your ISO value down and your image quality up. Driven by an STM stepping motor, operational noises are suppressed and speedy autofocus performance is delivered. Its versatility and portability make this prime an excellent complement to any Z-series mirrorless camera.

Travel-Friendly
