Released in March 2023. Lens not included. Purchase separately. A fusion of mirrorless and traditional Nikon design. Enjoyable dial operation and high-performance AF with Eye AF and Animal AF, effective for video. [ZFCBK] ZFCBK Released in March 2023. A fusion of mirrorless and traditional Nikon design. The joy of photography lies in every step leading up to a single photograph. And in the days of film cameras, there were cameras beloved by many who conveyed the joy of photography. Take the Nikon FM2, for example. The Z fc was born with a meticulously crafted exterior design inspired by the FM2, a camera that symbolizes the joy of photography. Not only the body size, but also the pentaprism design and black and silver color balance are closely reminiscent of the FM2. The leather-grained finish on the back of the monitor also evokes the film camera aesthetic. Each dial is carefully crafted from machined aluminum, and all display information on the top is engraved. The camera features the Nikon logo and circular eyepiece, a design reminiscent of cameras from the 1970s and 1980s, and meticulous attention to detail. All of this is possible thanks to Nikon's long-standing craftsmanship.
Three dials let you 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 pour your heart into each photograph. The Z fc features three dials on the top of the body: 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 release the shutter, allowing for a fun shooting style.
Exposure compensation available 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 create silhouettes, high-key images, or low-key images. 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, achieving 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're aiming for, allowing you to truly experience 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, including attaching the camera to a selfie stick or shooting vlogs. Turning the monitor forward automatically switches to selfie mode, enabling high-quality selfies in both still and video formats. The dedicated AF-F mode for video can also be used in selfie mode. The vari-angle monitor also makes vertical low-angle and high-angle shots easy. The 3.0-inch, approximately 1.04 million-dot touchscreen monitor offers comfortable operation with light touch controls. Even easier-to-read level and grid display: The level display is designed to minimize overlap with the subject, making it even easier to level the composition. Two grid display options are available: 9-segment and 16-segment. Select the one that best suits your subject and composition. Dedicated screen and touch operation for easy selfie mode: When the freely adjustable monitor is facing forward, a dedicated selfie screen appears, allowing you to adjust 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 capture. Touch AF is also available for video recording, allowing you to conveniently focus wherever you want. The AF-F mode, designed specifically for video recording, 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 button presses 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 600ml 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 reliable companion for everyday use.
Highly Reliable for Long-Term Use: The Z fc is not only stylish, but also robust and durable, ensuring years of use. The body is made of a magnesium alloy, providing shock resistance and portability. Furthermore, the back panel is made of a material that combines lightness and high rigidity. It also features a high-precision, highly durable shutter, which has passed 100,000 shutter cycles when installed in the camera. It delivers unwavering precision even after years of use.
High Sensitivity & Image Quality ISO 100-51200Z 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, clearly capturing fine 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 increased up to the equivalent of 204800. The maximum standard ISO sensitivity for video recording is 25600.
"AF Lock-On" allows you to customize tracking characteristics to suit your shooting conditions. You can set the AF behavior when another person or object crosses the path between the camera and the subject you are aiming at with "Crossing Object Response." You can choose from five settings, from [Sensitive] (quickly responding to people or objects passing by, easily adjusting focus and quickly returning to the original subject after they pass) to [Insensitive] (retaining focus on the original subject, even when people or objects pass by). [Insensitive] is effective for maintaining focus on a specific subject when you want to concentrate on composition. 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 video, allowing you to easily create unique video styles. 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. The dedicated "Video Shooting Menu" is separate from the "Still Shooting Menu," allowing for quick switching between video and still image shooting. Since you can switch between still and video and still image shooting with the same settings, it improves the shooting efficiency of creators who work with both still images and video.
