Designed to encourage users’ expressions of their individuality, the Nikon Z f Blue is newly equipped with a dedicated monochrome selector. Create magical monochromatic photos and videos with the addition of Flat Monochrome and Deep Tone Monochrome settings, in addition to the conventional Monochrome setting. Users can simply switch to B/W mode and focus on creating images that consider light and shadows while shooting. With the new monochrome selector, users can opt for a wide range of scenes, from landscapes to portraits and street photography.
Capture stills and videos as you imagine them with the Picture Control and Creative Picture Control functions. Applicable for both stills and videos, these functions enable users to use colour to express the feelings, temperature, and atmosphere of their subject at the time it was captured. Wedding and portrait photographers seeking flexibility in their captures will appreciate the new Rich tone portrait setting, which allows for rich tones while retaining the skin details of their subjects. Choose from 20 kinds of Creative Picture Control and 11 kinds of Picture Control, and then confirm the chosen effect with through-the-lens images in real time.
The Z f features enhanced video performance allowing for more authentic production of stills and videos. With H.265 10-bit in-camera recording and N-Log/HLG recording support, subjects such as landscapes, architecture, and portraits that have delicate details can be beautifully and accurately depicted. Users can also shoot with minimum gear and without the need for an external recorder. With up to 125 minutes of 4K UHD/60p video recording, the Z f enables full-scale video recording with sufficient recording duration. In addition, it supports the recording of 4K UHD video using 6K oversampling, enabling the creation of high-resolution videos. The camera also features Video S mode, which enables users to control auto exposure with a fixed shutter speed. This is especially useful when the brightness is constantly changing outdoors due to cloud movement, or the scene includes a significant difference in brightness such as from bright sunlight to shade.
Introducing pixel-shift shooting; an all-new feature with the Z fc. Capturing high-definition images of detailed subjects is now possible thanks to this advanced feature. Users can now shoot multiple NEF (RAW) files while shifting image sensor positions utilising in-camera VR when the camera is fixed with a tripod or other equipment. Through NX Studio, it merges multiple NEF (RAW) files; select 4 shots/8 shots/16 shots/32 shots and the resulting images can be compiled to produce high-definition images with increased resolution and colour reproduction, and reduced moiré, false colour, and noise – ideal for subjects with a lot of details such as art objects, insects, and minerals.
With the Z f, enjoy superior AF performance with wide support from easy to more particular shoots. The AF-area mode includes 3D-tracking in photo mode and subject-tracking in video mode, and an improved tracking capability when moving subjects such as pets and vehicles are detected, thanks to the EXPEED 7 image processor.
Users can focus on framing their shots as the AF detects various subjects in the frame, without the need to change settings. Not only can the AF detect human faces of approximately 3% in size (which is the world’s smallest), but it also enables easy focusing in low-light situations down to -10 EV such as during nighttime, moonlit landscapes, and indoor portraits. EXPEED 7 also enables continuous shooting at the maximum continuous shooting speed, regardless of the AF-area modes.
Users will also be able to capture small, difficult-to-focus subjects like distant subjects in a wide coverage area with high accuracy, enabling them to shoot their intended composition quickly. This is thanks to the Z’s wider range coverage and the increase in the number of focus points available with auto-area AF.
Whether capturing portraits or snapshots of people, achieve the intended expression regardless of the environment you’re in, with the combination of superior AF performance and wide support to capture easy and more particular shoots. Thanks to EXPEED 7, users can capture dark scenes beautifully as noise is suppressed even when ISO sensitivity is increased, thereby expanding the range of shooting dark scenes such as night landscapes and indoor portraits.
The Z f features enhanced VR performance; the in-camera Vibration Reduction of 8.0 stops expands the range of handheld shooting to include low-light indoor and long-exposure shots. For the first time in the world, focus point VR has also been incorporated to suppress blur near the focus point in an image, even in compositions where the subject is positioned at the periphery. This enables users to casually shoot handheld, regardless of the brightness and composition, and thereby expand their range of expressions.
The Z f also boasts a few firsts: It is fitted with the first Vari-angle monitor in the full-frame/FX-format Z series, which enables flexibility when composing stills or video shots such as overhead, low angle for shooting feet, or selfies. The camera is also the first touch-operation camera in the Z series, allowing users to easily change settings via touch operation on the monitor while focusing on framing their composition from the viewfinder.
Delight in your creative-filled pursuits with the meticulously crafted Z f. Inheriting the FM2’s philosophy of going beyond an entry model, the Z f features a glossy black finish with a sophisticated feel on a magnesium body and a grip that provides a good hold with FX lenses. Its brass dials focus on the quality of material combined with a comfortable operational feel. In addition, users can choose from 6 different colours in premium embossed leather exterior.
The Special Edition Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 Lens (SE) inherits its design from classic NIKKOR lenses, features such as knurling, control ring and typeface of manual lenses, are faithfully reproduced to represent the designs of the Nikon FM2 film SLR camera era.
Bring the beauty of bokeh to life with the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 SE. Remarkably compact and lightweight, take this all-purpose prime lens wherever you go to capture a wide range of scenes, from portraits to close-ups, all with impressive bokeh. Combining aesthetics and functionality, the lens features a next-generation Z lens design with an elegant satin finish and smooth operational feel.
Experience incredible versatility with the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 SE. Delivering exceptional image quality within its compact and robust body that weighs approximately 170g, the balance between its small size and superior optical performance is made possible with Z mount and its large diameter and short flange focal distance. The 40mm standard normal angle of view is easy to use for day-to-day scenes and subjects, from products to portraits, and even being able to get closer to your subject as desired with the minimum focus distance of 0.29m.
Grab hold of every photo opportunity and always be ready to capture every moment with the lens’ small-diameter, high-torque stepping motor (STM) that delivers fast and precise autofocus (AF) control. Together with the non-retracting mechanism design and robust dust- and drip-resistant performance, go places with the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 SE.
Effortlessly enhance your imagery with this fast prime lens. With a fast constant maximum aperture of f/2, achieve faster shutter speeds and minimised camera shake for sharper shots. This, combined with the adoption of 9 aperture blades, makes it possible for users to achieve a more circular bokeh. Make each composition a visual treat that is pleasing to the eye, and bring your subjects to attention with soft and creamy bokeh in the background.
Turn everyday moments into moving works of art with the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 SE that delivers a stunning cinematic performance. Shoot in silence with the quiet operation of the click-less control ring and AF mechanism with STM, which not only keeps lens drive and operation sounds to a minimum but also prevents them from being recorded. Capture scenes and subjects as they are, naturally, as focus breathing reduction prevents the shifting of the angle of view when acquiring focus. What’s more, with the stabilised exposure during aperture changes, achieve smooth, natural brightness changes as you shoot.
