The Nikon Z fc Body White is an elegant and compact DX-format mirrorless camera that combines iconic Nikon design and heritage with the latest technology. For any urban trendsetters that have fallen in love with analog film photography and have wished for a digital Nikon FM2, you asked, Nikon finally answered.
From capturing meaningful moments in everyday life such as sentimental pieces and interactions with friends and family, you can connect with the world and express yourself freely through the new camera’s advanced performance and modern convenience.
Revisiting an icon, the Z fc takes inspiration from the classic Nikon FM2 SLR, incorporating 80s vintage nuances with highly reliable modern mechanisms. The Z fc exudes sophistication in its craftsmanship, with its luxurious black textured leather material and matte silver body. Embrace the timeless beauty of classic Nikon design elements, from the “Nikon” engraving, the classic control dials and shutter buttons, to the circular eyepiece.
Capture clear and sharp renderings of textured images with 20 megapixels of resolution and all your iconic moments in practically any scene with the camera’s excellent low light performance with an ISO sensitivity of up to 51200. Leveraging its full potential, you will also be able to fully optimise the in-built optical Vibration Reduction (VR) with lenses such as the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR for high image quality.
Moreover, the camera offers more than just everyday casual filming with its 4K UHD capabilities utilising the full DX-based image sensor width and slow-motion movie setting with a range of image dimensions and frame rate.
The Z fc allows users to capture every inch and detail of the moment with its touch-operational 7.6cm (3-inch) vari-angle TFT LCD display, and AF-F (full-time AF) that tracks subjects even when taking self-portraits. Explore different angles express yourself in both stills and movies with confidence. You don't have to adjust anything as the monitor automatically switches to self-portrait mode when you turn it to the front. Additionally, when switched on, the camera supports USB power delivery and USB charging.
Weighing in at approximately 390g, the compact and sleek camera is perfect for capturing every shutter opportunity from day to night, one moment to another. Whether it’s for that much-deserved scenic road trip with your loved ones or capturing a slice of life, the Z fc is there for you.
Taking it to a new level, the Z fc comes with intuitive and tactile controls that enables you to seize and capture the fleeting moments. Equipped with dedicated dials for the ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation, you have the flexibility to adjust to their desired settings easily to achieve the best quality of experiences when delving into different types of photography.
For the first time in a Nikon Z series camera, the Z fc supports exposure compensation during AUTO mode that allow users to achieve their desired expression such as by increasing brightness to enhancing silhouettes.
Creative Picture Control effects
With over 20 Creative Picture Control effects, you also get more room for unlimited expression to create imagery that reflects their aesthetics or mood, simply by a quick preview through the display viewfinder and a favourite pre-set that could be easily applied.
Reliable Eye-Detection AF and Animal Eye-Detection Autofocus
Capture the most raw and real-time emotions in a snap with the Eye-Detection AF and Animal Eye-Detection AF, locking onto moving subjects and delivering precise, high-quality imagery that truly brings all the emotions of that beautiful moment to life. Not limited to just stills, this feature is also applicable during movie recording.
The Nikon Z fc is supported by a suite of software tools that allow you to transfer images and videos from camera to a smart device quickly and seamlessly - just as easily as taking a snapshot.
Stay connected with your community of creatives, friends, and family - thanks to the improved ease of use and convenience of the latest version of Nikon SnapBridge (ver. 2.8).
