Its stacked design offers fast readout speeds and helps to reduce rolling shutter, and the BSI design contributes to impressive clarity and minimal noise when working at higher sensitivities. At 45.7MP, it's also a high-resolution chip that benefits landscape, portraiture, and other detail-oriented genres, as well as enables recording video at resolutions up to 8K. The full-frame BSI design is known for exquisite color and detail rendering, too, and this sensor offers a native ISO 64-25600 range, that can be expanded to ISO 32-102400.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eEXPEED 7 Image Processor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eComplementing the sensor is an advanced processing engine, the EXPEED 7, which offers speeds approximately 10x faster than a Z 7II. This engine works in conjunction with the stacked sensor design to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTop continuous shooting speeds of 20 fps when shooting in raw, 30 fps when shooting in JPEG, and an impressive 120 fps shooting rate when recording 11MP stills, with all rates supporting full AF\/AE performance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAble to buffer over 1000 raw images in a burst, meaning raw image sequences can be recorded for approximately 50 seconds continuously. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic shutter affords a top shutter speed of 1\/32,000 sec for working in the brightest conditions with wider apertures. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStacked sensor design reduces rolling shutter distortion so fast-moving subjects, like a golf club, tennis racket, or baseball bat, do not appear distorted when working with shutter speeds up to 1\/32,000 sec. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAF calculations are done at a 120 fps rate to keep up with fast continuous shooting speeds. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew High Efficiency RAW file format maintains image quality akin to uncompressed raw files but with file sizes approximately 30% smaller for faster reading\/writing to the memory card. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eElectronic Shutter-Only Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eRelying on the speed and stacked design of the sensor, the Z 9 completely forgoes a mechanical shutter and uses just an electronic shutter for all capture modes. The speed of the sensor enables recording at up to 1\/32,000 sec and the stacked structure reduces motion distortion for accurate depiction of fast-moving subjects, like golf clubs, baseball bats, and automobiles. Also, despite the absence of a mechanical shutter, flash sync up to 1\/200 sec. is still supported as well as high speed sync functions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy removing the mechanical shutter, the Z 9 can also operate completely silently and there is no worry over mechanical shutter wear or breakdown. A shutter release sound can be added for awareness when a photo is being taken, and the volume can be adjusted to suit different working scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e493-Point Phase-Detection AF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovering the full sensor area, the Z 9 uses a 493-point phase-detection AF system to realize fast and accurate focusing performance. This system is benefitted by the high-speed communication of the Z interface along with the speed of the sensor that enables AF readings to occur at up to 120 fps. This focusing system also supports working in low-light conditions with a Starlight mode that permits focusing down to -8.5 EV to greatly benefit astrophotography, concert, and other nighttime shooting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eNew Subject Detection Algorithm and Deep Learning Technology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eUtilizing a new algorithm and deep learning technology, automatic Subject Detection can now recognize nine distinct subject types, ranging from humans to animals to airplanes to bicycles. When working in Auto-Area AF, these subjects will automatically be detected, focused on, and tracked to ensure sharp focus when the subject is moving across the frame. Eye-Detection AF, specifically, has been tuned for improved accuracy and refined recognition of eyes in the scene regardless of how small or large they are within the image frame.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Z 9 also sees the debut of the 3D Tracking mode in a Nikon mirrorless camera. This popular focusing mode from Nikon's DSLRs pairs with subject detection capabilities to lock onto fast and erratically moving subjects that move parallel and perpendicular to the camera axis. Additionally, there are also three Dynamic-Area AF modes, with a range of focus area sizes, to suit capturing a broader variety of moving subject types.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e8K and 4K Video Recording\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eMatching the high-end photo attributes, the Z 9 is Nikon's most capable video camera as well, with a variety of resolutions and frame rates available up to 8K. Using full pixel readout, UHD 8K 30p video can be recorded with continuous shooting possible for approximately 2 hours 5 minutes. Full-frame 4K recording is available, too, up to 120p for slow-motion playback. Using an 8K area, oversampled UHD 4K recording is possible at up to 30p for increased sharpness and detail. Also, high-resolution frame grabs can be recorded in camera from 8K and 4K videos, for producing 33MP or 11MP stills, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eProRes and H.265 10-Bit Internal Recording\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eInternal recording with 10-bit color and 4:2:2 sampling is possible in the ProRes 422 HQ and H.265 codecs, and H.264 and 4:2:0 color can be used depending on workflow needs. For more latitude when color grading in post, there is also a 10-bit N-Log setting as well as a Flat color profile. Additionally, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) can be used for creating HDR-ready content straight from the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eProfessional Body Design | Real-Live Viewfinder and Four-Axis Tilting LCD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eReal-Live Viewfinder is a an advanced EVF utilizing a 3.69m-dot OLED panel with adjustable luminance up to 3000 cd\/m2 for clear visibility in bright conditions.
