Released in December 2021. *Lens not included. Purchase separately. Capture every moment, anytime, in both still images and videos. AF performance with the world's largest number of subject detection capabilities, nine types. Real-Live Viewfinder for capturing the decisive moment. / [Z9Nikon] Z9Nikon Released in December 2021. The world's largest number of subject detection capabilities, nine types, for both still images and videos. To support AF on a wide range of subjects, the Z 9 is equipped with an algorithm developed using deep learning technology, achieving the world's largest number of subject detection capabilities, nine types. It can detect people, dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, and airplanes. Whether shooting portraits, sports, pets, or other animals or vehicles, you can leave the focusing to the camera and focus on composition and shutter opportunities. Furthermore, the person detection function can detect smaller eyes than before, making it convenient for cropping images. Eye detection is also possible even when the subject is wearing goggles or sunglasses, or upside down. Even in scenes with intense movement, such as a gymnast doing a somersault, causing the AF to lose track of her face, the camera automatically detects and maintains focus on the head and torso. *As of October 28, 2021, for mirrorless cameras. Researched by Nikon.
Advanced AF technology meets the demanding needs of professionals. The Z 9's high-performance AF is supported by three technologies: a Nikon first: high-speed AF calculations at 120 times per second; superior subject detection developed using deep learning technology; and high-speed AF information communication unique to the Z mount. These technologies combine to deliver high-level AF tracking performance that accurately captures randomly moving subjects even during high-speed continuous shooting. Furthermore, an advanced AF algorithm enables AF even in low light (-8.5EV). AF control can be performed separately from the Live View exposure, providing excellent AF performance even in backlit scenes. Real-Live Viewfinder for Capturing the Decisive Moment The Z 9 is the world's first camera to feature a Real-Live Viewfinder, displaying everything you need to see, even moments that are hidden by conventional electronic viewfinders or when the image disappears due to mirror lockup on a DSLR camera. Unlike conventional blackout-free shooting, which displays the same image to prevent the viewfinder image from disappearing, the Real-Live Viewfinder always displays the actual subject's movement as it is. You'll never miss a moment, knowing the athlete's every move is captured in a smooth display. Outstanding High-Speed ​​Performance with the New EXPEED 7 Image Processing Engine The Z 9 is equipped with a new image processing engine that delivers approximately 10 times faster processing than the Z 7 II. This enables separate processing of dual-stream data output from the stacked CMOS sensor, enabling the Real-Live Viewfinder. The Z 9 also offers numerous advanced features, including high-performance AF, High-Speed ​​Frame Capture+ at approximately 120 frames per second, internal recording of 8K UHD/30p, and 4K UHD/120p. Equipped with a Quad-VGA panel with the world's highest brightness* of 3000 cd/m2 for clear viewing, even in bright surroundings where details were previously difficult to see. The newly equipped Quad-VGA panel allows for brightness adjustment up to 3000 cd/m2, ensuring clear visibility even in extremely bright scenes, such as a midsummer beach or a sunny snowy field, ensuring you'll never miss a shot. Viewfinder brightness can be adjusted manually or in Auto mode. The viewfinder display size can be set to Small, allowing you to see the entire screen even when wearing eyeglasses. Nikon's first 4-axis tilting monitor offers a wide range of viewing angles. A dedicated "Movie Shooting Menu" is separate from the "Still Shooting Menu." Switching between still and video modes allows you to capture different settings, improving shooting efficiency for multimedia creators who work with both stills and video. You can also access the menu by pressing the button during video recording to efficiently adjust various settings. The Z 9 is approximately 20% smaller than the D6, yet maintains professional-level ease of use. A mistake-free control layout and a wide range of customizable buttons are essential for professional photographers. The Z 9 body meets these needs while achieving a volume that is approximately 20% smaller than the D6. A new independent focus mode button allows you to change focus and AF-area modes without taking your eye off the viewfinder. To speed up image review, the playback, zoom, and reduction buttons are positioned so they can be quickly operated with the right thumb in both portrait and landscape orientations. Furthermore, the three Fn buttons on the front of the camera are spaced far enough apart to prevent accidental operation. You can also assign the playback function to the protect button, customizing the operation to match the D6. The Z 9 assists handheld shooting with up to 6.0-stop image stabilization. The 5-axis in-body sensor-shift VR and 2-axis lens-shift VR work together (Synchro VR) to provide a compensation effect of up to 6.0 stops. This more effectively compensates for the effects of camera shake during telephoto shooting, when camera shake is a concern, as well as during still image shooting at slow shutter speeds and during video recording.
