Design that inspires expression Functions and performance that expand the possibilities of expression Highly flexible, emotionally rich video expression / [ZFNikon] ZFNikon Released in October 2023 Create images that lift your spirits with every use. We want it to inspire your creativity throughout every process. The FM2, a symbol of the film era, is a camera beloved by many for conveying the true joy of photography. The Z f inherits the FM2's philosophy and, inspired by its sophisticated exterior design and dial operation, allows you to truly experience the transformation of your imagination into a work of art. With attention to detail, from the same Nikon logo used on the pentaprism as cameras from the 1970s and 1980s to the tactile feel of the shutter button and control dials, this camera will inspire your desire for expression from the moment you see and touch it. The philosophy behind the name: The "f" in Z f stands for "fusion." It not only represents the fusion of past, present, and future, but also the connection between Nikon's 70-year tradition of innovation and meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge full-frame mirrorless technology. The "f" also signifies that this is an iconic model in Nikon's history. Light is the key to monochrome photography, where light and shadow create a unique world. The way the light hits the subject, the contrast with shadow, and the unique moments that emerge. Monochrome is not simply a world of black and white. It is a world expressed through the pure texture of light and shadow, and composed of the simple graphic elements of shape and depth. It is precisely because there is less information that unprecedented perspectives are born and the possibilities for expression are expanded. The Z f's Picture Controls include "Monochrome," which provides sharp, dynamic, high-contrast images; "Flat Monochrome," which provides smooth gradations from shadow to light, rich mid-tones, and a warm, soft impression; and "Deep Tone Monochrome," which darkens mid-tones while suppressing crushed blacks in the shadows. "Deep Tone Monochrome" has distinctive tonal characteristics and color sensitivity, with high sensitivity to red and low sensitivity to blue, enhancing the sense of shadow while darkening blue skies and brightening red flowers and lips. When inspiration strikes, simply turn the still/movie selector to instantly switch from a color world to a monochrome world.
Express Your Colors - Picture Control/Creative Picture Control: Each creator's unique personality can be reflected in the scene before them. Picture Control and Creative Picture Control allow you to adjust colors and expression to suit your imagination. Not only are they easy to set, but you can instantly see the applied effects on the monitor. Create beautiful still images and videos that convey different emotions, atmospheres, temperatures, and tones in a unique way. Furthermore, Creative Picture Control's color intensity can be adjusted from 0 to 100, allowing for intuitive, detailed editing. A New Level of Detail - Pixel Shift Photography: Capture the intricate details of architectural decorations like ceiling paintings, the precise colors of fine art, and the intricate structures of insects and minerals with unimaginable immersion and texture. With pixel shift photography, the Z f captures a variety of scenes with a new level of resolution and fidelity, suppressing moiré, false colors, and noise. By slightly shifting the image sensor position—taking 4, 8, 16, or 32 frames—you can obtain more accurate color information. At 16 and 32 frames, you can achieve an astounding high resolution of approximately 96 megapixels. Captured RAW (NEF) images can be composited using NX Studio. Capture stunningly immersive footage with sharp, crisp details that capture your audience's attention. The Z f delivers sharper resolution than standard 4K UHD video. It reads 6K image data from the full-frame sensor with 24.5 effective megapixels and converts it to 4K UHD* through oversampling, resulting in sharper subject detail. This further enhances the sense of realism of the scene. Fixed shutter speed during video recording: In scenes with rapidly changing brightness, we recommend fixing the shutter speed. Shutter-priority Auto (S) mode is ideal for such situations. By controlling exposure with ISO sensitivity and aperture, you can reduce flickering under fluorescent lighting. Even when moving from a dark to a bright area, shutter speed changes do not cause unnatural subject movement, resulting in natural-looking video. A variety of AF-area modes allow you to track moving subjects. Capture sharp, split-second movements, whether you're shooting a portrait of a moving person against a beautifully blurred background or a pet running around energetically. The Z 9000 boasts excellent subject detection thanks to its AF's deep learning technology, and the EXPEED 7 image processing engine, also featured in the Z 9 and Z 8, delivers exceptional tracking performance when a subject is detected. For still photography, select AF-area mode and 3D-Tracking, which sharply captures irregular subject movements. For video, select Target Tracking AF for smooth, continuous tracking of moving subjects. Experience a world rich in light and gradation with the full-frame/FX format. The full-frame/FX format is more than just a matter of sensor size; it allows you to capture your world in even more beautiful images. It highlights the subject against a soft background and captures a wealth of light and color with greater accuracy and richer gradation, capturing the subtle nuances and tones of dawn and sunset skies. Compared to APS-C/DX-format cameras, the camera offers a wider angle of view with the same focal length, enabling dynamic landscape capture. It's not just the sensor size that's larger; it also greatly expands the possibilities for expression. Superior VR Supports Creative Expression in Handheld Shooting. When shooting landscapes, placing buildings and landmarks off-center is known to produce better compositions. While previous in-body VR technologies primarily reduced blurring near the center of the frame, the Z f's world-first Focus Point VR reduces blurring near the focus point, regardless of the subject's location within the frame. This allows you to capture sharp, perfectly composed shots, even when placing a subject in the corner of the frame, greatly expanding the possibilities of handheld shooting. Smooth Operation Even in Portrait Position: Portrait-oriented shooting is now easier and more intuitive than ever. When the camera is held vertically, the information display and (eye) menu screen automatically switch to portrait orientation, allowing for smooth on-screen viewing and access to settings. Furthermore, when the camera is held vertically during image playback, the playback image is automatically displayed vertically. Enhanced Operability with Comprehensive Touch Functions: Touch Functions allow for easy operation with a slide or double-tap while holding the camera. Even while shooting with the EVF, you can smoothly move the focus point, switch pupils, display guidelines and a level, and switch to an enlarged screen. To prevent accidental operation, you can set the touch operation area from nine patterns.
