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 black/silver color balance are closely reminiscent of the FM2. The leather-grained finish on the back of the monitor is reminiscent of film cameras. Each dial is carefully crafted from machined aluminum, and all of the display on the top is engraved. The Nikon engraved lettering and circular eyepiece, which were used on cameras from the 1970s and 1980s, are a testament to the meticulous attention to detail. All of this is possible thanks to Nikon's long-standing craftsmanship.
Three dials that allow you to see all settings at a glance. Turn the dials with the tactile feel of the mechanism at your fingertips, enjoy each step of the shooting process, and put 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 basic camera settings at a glance. The satisfying dial operation allows you to carefully adjust each setting and then release the shutter, creating a fun photography 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 as you imagine with the exposure compensation dial, creating silhouettes and high-key and low-key shots. The electronic viewfinder (EVF) enhances your photography experience. The EVF features a 2.36 million-dot OLED panel and Nikon's superior optical and image processing technologies, providing 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, enabling a wider range of uses, such as attaching the camera to a selfie stick or shooting vlogs. When the monitor is facing forward, it automatically switches to selfie mode, enabling high-quality selfies in both still images and videos. The AF-F mode, designed specifically for video recording, can also be used in selfie mode. The vari-angle monitor also makes vertical low- 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. Easier-to-read level and grid display: The level display features a design that minimizes overlap with the subject, making it even easier to level your composition. Two grid display options are available: 9-segment and 16-segment. Choose the display to suit the subject and your compositional intent. Small, lightweight, and slim: The Z fc's compact, lightweight design, combined with its distinctive heritage design, fits a variety of styles and scenes. The basic system, combined with the kit lens, weighs the same as a 600ml bottle of water, making it easy to carry and allowing you to capture special moments with ease. Its 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 sling it over your shoulder, the Z fc is a reliable companion for everyday use.
High Reliability for Long-Term Use: The Z fc is not only stylish, but also highly robust and durable, ensuring years of use. The body is made of a magnesium alloy, making it shock-resistant and safe to carry. Furthermore, the back panel is made of a material that combines lightness with high rigidity. It also features a high-precision, highly durable shutter that has passed 100,000 shutter release tests while mounted on the camera. It delivers consistent high precision even after years of use.
High Sensitivity & 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 vivid details and textures. 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 ISO 204800. The maximum standard ISO sensitivity for video recording is 25600. "AF Lock-On" allows you to customize tracking characteristics to suit the shooting situation. You can set the AF behavior when a person or object crosses the path between the camera and your subject using "Crossing Response." Five settings are available, ranging from "Sensitive" (quickly responding to crossing people or objects within the frame, quickly focusing on the original subject after they pass) to "Insensitive" (retaining focus even when a person or object crosses the frame). When you want to concentrate on composition, "Insensitive" is effective for maintaining focus on a specific subject. Uncropped 4K UHD Video: The Z fc can record 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 videos, making it easy to capture uniquely styled footage. Additionally, 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. A dedicated video shooting menu, separate from the still shooting menu, allows for quick switching between video and still image shooting. Switching between still and video allows for separate settings, improving shooting efficiency for creators who work with both stills and video.
