Always with you, the Zf helps you capture each fleeting moment with the advanced AF and VR performance and lets you express it in your own voice.

Designed To Make Your Statement

The exterior design of the Zf is inspired by the Nikon FM2, a popular manual camera of the film era that brought the joy of shooting to a great many photographers. The Zf lets you make a statement; feel different, look different — it’s a complete experience.

Real Storytelling In Dynamic Video

You can keep your video shoot as unobtrusive as possible with the Zf by not having to attach an external recorder whether you want to shoot 10-bit 4K UHD N-Log and color grade the footage in post or shoot 8-bit in ready-to-output SDR. The in-camera recording time runs to a maximum of up to 125 minutes*. You can shoot handheld or on a gimbal, and your story will come out sharp, smooth, and intimate.

The Zf offers high-quality video codecs, including 4K UHD* oversampled from 6K and 10-bit H.265 in SDR/N-Log/HLG. It also offers a variety of functions to support full-scale video recording, such as a waveform monitor display and compatibility with a wide range of video accessories.

Unlimited Imaging Possibilities

Lenses are the decisive factor in image creation. NIKKOR Z offers a diverse lineup of prime and zoom lenses, now covering the focal range from 14mm to 1600mm, with clear and tack-sharp rendering performance at the maximum aperture. NIKKOR Z lenses also allow for silent operation and minimize focus breathing.
