Released in October 2021 *Special Edition kit includes NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (Special Edition) A fusion of mirrorless and traditional Nikon design Enjoyable operation with responsive dials High-performance AF with Eye AF/Animal AF effective for video [ZFCLK28SE] [report] ZFCLK28SE Released in October 2021 A fusion of mirrorless and traditional Nikon design The joy of photography lies in every step leading up to a single photo. And in the days of film cameras, there were cameras that conveyed the joy of photography and were loved by many people. Take the Nikon FM2, for example. The Z fc was born with a meticulously crafted exterior design inspired by the FM2, which symbolizes the joy of photography. Not only the body size, but also the pentaprism design and the black and silver color balance are reproduced to resemble the FM2. The leather-like texture on the back of the monitor also evokes the image of a film camera. Each dial is meticulously crafted from machined aluminum, and all the markings on the top are engraved. The Nikon logo and circular eyepiece, reminiscent of cameras from the 1970s and 1980s, are meticulously crafted, and all of these details are possible thanks to Nikon's long-standing craftsmanship.
Three dials allow you to see all settings at a glance. Turn the dials with a tactile feel, enjoy each step of the shooting process, and pour your heart into each photograph. The Z fc features three dials on the top of the body for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and exposure compensation, as well as a small window displaying the f-stop. These allow you to see all basic camera settings at a glance. The satisfying dial operation allows you to carefully adjust each setting and then release the shutter, allowing for a more enjoyable shooting style.
Exposure Compensation in Auto Mode: This is the first Z series camera to feature exposure compensation in auto mode. While using the basic settings in Auto mode, you can easily adjust the image brightness with the exposure compensation dial to achieve silhouette, high-key, or low-key shots.
The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) that Makes You Feel Like a Photographer: The EVF utilizes a 2.36 million-dot OLED panel and Nikon's superior optical and image processing technologies to achieve a sharp, clear image with a field of view of approximately 100% and a magnification of approximately 1.02x. This allows you to concentrate on the exact moment you want to capture, truly enjoying the joy of taking a photograph. The EVF also displays the same settings as the monitor, allowing you to quickly change settings without taking your eye off the viewfinder.
The Z fc is the first Z series camera to feature a vari-angle monitor. Unlike tilt-type monitors, the monitor can be flipped horizontally, allowing for a wider range of uses, such as attaching the camera to a selfie stick or shooting vlogs. When the monitor is turned toward the front, it automatically switches to selfie mode, enabling high-quality selfies in both still and video formats. The dedicated AF-F mode for video shooting can also be used in selfie mode. The vari-angle monitor also makes vertical low-angle and high-angle shooting easy. The 3.0-inch monitor features approximately 1.04 million dots and a touchscreen, providing comfortable operation with light touch controls. Easy "Selfie Mode" with Dedicated Screen and Touch Controls: When the freely adjustable monitor is turned toward the front, a dedicated selfie screen appears, allowing you to set the self-timer (10 seconds/2 seconds) and exposure compensation* by touching the monitor. Touch AF and touch shutter are also available for still image shooting. Touch AF is also available for video shooting, allowing you to conveniently focus wherever you want. The dedicated AF-F mode for video shooting can also be used in selfie mode. In Selfie Mode, all buttons except the shutter button, video-record button, and multi-selector are locked, preventing accidental touches and allowing you to hold the camera firmly while shooting.
Small, Lightweight, and Slim: The Z fc's compact, lightweight, and distinctive heritage design complements a variety of styles and scenes. The basic system, combined with the kit lens, weighs the same as a 500ml bottle of water*. It's easy to carry, allowing you to capture special moments more easily. The gripless, flat design makes it easy to take in and out of your bag, even with the kit lens attached. Whether you carry it in your bag or slung it over your shoulder, the Z fc is a great companion for everyday use.
High Sensitivity, High Image Quality: ISO 100-51200: The Z fc's maximum standard ISO sensitivity is 51200*. The excellent high-sensitivity image sensor and the noise reduction of the EXPEED 6 image processing engine, also used in higher-end models, effectively suppress noise in both still images and videos, capturing fine details and textures with vivid clarity. It also captures blur-free photos even in dark scenes. Easily achieve high image quality not previously possible with smartphones. Sensitivity can be boosted up to 204800. The maximum standard ISO sensitivity for video is 25600. Uncropped 4K UHD Video: The Z fc captures 4K UHD/30p video in DX format without cropping. The EXPEED 6 image processing engine delivers high-resolution images. Creative Picture Control can also be applied to video, allowing you to easily create unique video styles. Furthermore, selfie mode is activated when the vari-angle monitor is facing forward. Eye detection AF and full-time AF (AF-F) that continuously tracks the subject make it easy to shoot high-quality vlog videos. Active D-Lighting, electronic image stabilization, and focus peaking are also available for both 4K UHD and Full HD.
