Design optimized for video shooting, the smallest and lightest in the Z series / [NIKON Z30WZ] [report] NIKON Z30WZ Released in August 2022Double zoom kit including "NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR" + "NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR"
Visual expression not possible with a smartphone, created by the difference in sensor size, the image sensor determines the image quality. The Z 30's APS-C/DX-format image sensor is approximately 14 times larger (in terms of area) than the image sensors found in typical smartphones, capturing ample light for high-quality video. The maximum standard ISO sensitivity is 25600 in video mode (51200 in still mode). Equipped with the same EXPEED 6 image processing engine as the Z 7/Z 6, paired with NIKKOR Z lenses, it delivers outstanding high-sensitivity performance. Even during magic hour, blue hour, or nighttime shooting, the camera delivers stunning, noise-free images, a defocused background, sharp details, and rich textures, delivering stunning results. The vari-angle monitor/eye AF is convenient for vlogging. The vari-angle monitor allows you to compose shots from a variety of angles, from high to low, and exposure compensation can be easily and intuitively adjusted with touch controls. Turning the monitor toward yourself switches to "Selfie Mode," allowing you to see your own facial expressions for fun vlogging. Eye AF and Animal AF automatically focus on people's or pets' eyes, making them effective even for selfies, eliminating the need to worry about focus. Sharing your everyday life with unique angles will bring you closer to your viewers. Record up to 125 minutes of video in one shot. Editing is smoother, eliminating the need to combine shorter videos when creating a vlog. You can also record while charging via USB connection to a portable charger or computer, allowing you to shoot for extended periods of time. The smallest and lightest Z series camera* The Z 30 is the smallest and lightest Z series camera, making it comfortable to carry and record for extended periods of time. With the kit lens NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR attached, it weighs approximately 540g, about the weight of a 500ml water bottle, yet is compact enough to fit in the hand. It's easy to carry around in a small bag or sling it over your shoulder. *For Nikon Z series mirrorless cameras released as of June 29, 2022. Exterior design that combines luxury and ease of use. The exterior design features a luxurious, textured leather finish, a feature common to the Z series. At the same time, the controls are positioned in the same way as higher-end models for smoother setting adjustments, ensuring comfortable operation. Deep, easy-to-grip grip design for stable video capture. The deep, easy-to-grip grip feels natural in the hand, making it comfortable to shoot all day. A firmer grip allows for more stable video capture. Extending your arm so the camera strap around your neck is taut further stabilizes the camera. The camera's shape also follows the line of your hand when held vertically on the left shoulder, making it easy to hold and facilitating stable vertical video capture. Thoughtful considerations for smooth video recording. The large video-record button is optimally positioned on the top of the body for easy access at any angle, whether it's a selfie, a high-angle shot, or a waist shot. This makes video recording even smoother. The REC lamp on the front of the body lights up red during video recording, letting you know it's recording. Exposure compensation is as easy as you want, even in AUTO mode. The simple and easy-to-use AUTO shooting mode allows you to achieve precise image brightness even in AUTO mode. Brightness can be easily adjusted using the exposure compensation button and command dial. While checking the image monitor, you can achieve the desired atmosphere, easily capturing subjects in silhouette, high-key, or low-key. Picture Controls allow for easy adjustment of image tone. For natural-looking colors and expressions, we recommend the Auto Picture Control, also available on the flagship Z 9. The Auto Picture Control for video recording adjusts contrast tones and colors tones to optimize video quality, making it easy to improve quality. Furthermore, each Picture Control allows you to adjust sharpness using three parameters: Outline emphasis, Mid-range sharpness, and Clarity. By using these settings together, you can fine-tune the various textures on the screen, making them appear sharper or softer. Other settings available include contrast, brightness, color saturation, and hue. Supports 4K UHD video for astonishingly sharp image expression. 4K UHD 30p/25p/24p video produces vivid images with meticulous detail and immersive beauty. Without frame cropping, you can fully utilize the lens's angle of view to easily capture footage that realistically recreates vast landscapes or mouth-watering, sizzling food shots. Time-lapse movies enrich the expressive potential of vlogs and video content. By condensing everyday routines, cooking processes, and the changing light and clouds into short videos, you can vividly express the dynamic passage of time. The Z 30's Time-lapse Movie function automatically captures still images at set intervals and records them as a time-lapse movie in the camera. By combining this with 4K UHD and Full HD video, you can create even more expressive vlogs and video content. The Z 30 captures beautiful images even in low light, capturing every detail with a maximum ISO 51200 sensitivity. Thanks to its APS-C image sensor (Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor) and maximum ISO 51200 sensitivity, you can capture clear, noise-free still images not only during the day but also at night and in low-light indoor situations. Because it captures more light than a typical smartphone, it produces softer, more natural bokeh, allowing you to enjoy the expressive qualities of a mirrorless camera. Eye AF/Animal AF: Detects the faces and eyes of people, dogs, and cats. Eye AF or Animal AF detects the faces and eyes of people, dogs, and cats when shooting still images, just as it does when shooting video. Wide-area AF allows you to focus on the faces or eyes of the target subject, even when there are multiple people, dogs, or cats. When multiple faces or eyes are detected during auto-area AF, you can use the multi-selector to select the one you want to focus on. When taking still images in selfie mode, the easy-to-press video record button functions as the shutter button. When you face the vari-angle image monitor directly in front of you, selfie mode is automatically turned on. While checking the image monitor, you can create impressive images simply by adjusting with simple touch operations. When taking still images in selfie mode, the large video record button also functions as the shutter button. When you hold the camera facing yourself, it's easy to release the shutter, making it easy to capture higher-quality thumbnail images.
