Released August 2022. Lens not included. Purchase separately. This compact and lightweight mirrorless camera is ideal for a wide range of video shoots, from everyday vlogs to detailed photography. Visual expression not possible with a smartphone. Design optimized for video shooting, the smallest and lightest in the Z series / [NIKON Z30] [report] NIKON Z30 Released August 2022. The difference in sensor size creates visual expression not possible with a smartphone. The image sensor determines the image quality. The Z 30's image sensor (APS-C size/DX format) is approximately 14 times the size (in terms of area) of the image sensor found in a typical smartphone. It captures ample light, delivering high-quality images. The maximum standard ISO sensitivity in video mode is 25600 (51200 in still mode). Equipped with the same EXPEED 6 image processing engine as the Z 7 and Z 6, it delivers excellent high-sensitivity performance when paired with NIKKOR Z lenses. Even during magic hour, blue hour, or nighttime shooting, you'll be captivated by beautiful, noise-free images, blurred backgrounds, sharp details, and rich textures. The vari-angle monitor/eye AF is convenient for vlogging. The vari-angle monitor allows you to compose shots from various angles, from high to low, and allows for easy and intuitive exposure compensation settings 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/Animal AF automatically focuses on the eyes of people and pets, making it effective for selfies, so you don't have to worry about focusing. Share your everyday life from unique angles and bring you closer to your viewers. Record up to 125 minutes of video for ample recording. Record up to 125 minutes of video in a single recording session. Editing is smoother, eliminating the need to combine short videos when creating a vlog. You can also charge the camera via USB connection to a portable charger or computer, allowing you to shoot for extended periods of time without worry.
The smallest and lightest Z series camera* The Z 30 is the smallest and lightest Z series camera, making it comfortable to carry and shoot for extended periods of time. With the kit lens, the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR, it weighs approximately 540g, about the weight of a 500ml water bottle, yet is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It can be easily carried in a small bag or slung over the 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, consistent with the Z series. At the same time, the controls are positioned similarly to higher-end models for smoother setting adjustments, ensuring comfortable operation.
Deep, easy-to-grip grip for stable video capture. The deep, easy-to-grip grip feels natural in your hand, making it comfortable to shoot all day. The camera offers a secure hold for stable video recording. Extending your arm so the camera strap around your neck is taut will further stabilize 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 shooting stable vertical video. 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 shooting selfies, high-angle shots, or from your waist. This makes video recording even smoother. The REC lamp on the front of the body lights up red during video recording, letting you know when recording is in progress. Exposure compensation is also possible in AUTO mode. The simple and easy-to-use AUTO shooting mode allows you to achieve precise image brightness even in AUTO mode. Easily adjust brightness with the exposure compensation button and command dial. While checking the image monitor, you can achieve the desired atmosphere, easily capturing silhouettes, high-key shots, and low-key shots of your subject. Picture Control for Easily Adjusting Image Tone: For natural-looking colors and expression, we recommend the Auto Picture Control, also featured on the flagship Z 9. The Auto setting for video recording adjusts contrast tones and colors to the optimum level for video, easily enhancing quality. Each Picture Control also allows for sharpness adjustment using three parameters: Outline Enhancement, Mid-Range Sharpness, and Clarity. By using these adjustments together, you can fine-tune the sharpness or softness of various textures on the screen. Other adjustments include Contrast, Brightness, Color Saturation, and Hue. Supports 4K UHD video for stunningly sharp images. 4K UHD 30p/25p/24p produces vivid images with exquisite detail and immersive beauty, delivering stunningly sharp images. Without cropping the frame, you can fully utilize the lens's angle of view to easily capture footage that realistically recreates vast landscapes or mouth-watering, sizzling food.
Time-lapse movies enrich the expressive power of vlogs and video content. By condensing everyday routines, cooking processes, the changing light and clouds, and more 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. Combined with 4K UHD and Full HD video, you can create even more expressive vlogs and video content.
High-sensitivity, maximum ISO 51200 sensitivity for beautiful shots even in dark environments. The Z 30 captures high-quality images with detailed detail, even down to the edges. The APS-C size image sensor (Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor) and the excellent high-sensitivity performance of maximum ISO 51200 enable you to capture clear still images with reduced noise 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 expressiveness only a mirrorless camera can offer. 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 face or eye of the target subject, even when there are multiple people, dogs, or cats. If multiple faces or eyes are detected in Auto-area AF, you can use the multi-selector to choose the one you want to focus on. Selfie Mode: When shooting still images, the easy-to-press video-record button doubles as the shutter button. When facing the vari-angle monitor, selfie mode is automatically activated. While checking the image on the monitor, you can easily adjust the settings with simple touch controls to create a striking image. When shooting still images in Selfie Mode, the large video-record button also functions as the shutter button. Holding the camera facing yourself makes it easy to release the shutter, making it easier to capture higher-quality thumbnail images.
