Product Specs

Basic Information

Product Features

APS-C size mirrorless camera with a design inspired by Nikon's historical cameras, focusing on the fun of holding the camera in addition to the fun of taking still images and videos

- Fusion of mirrorless and traditional Nikon design
The Z fc has a finely crafted exterior design inspired by the Nikon FM2, with a pentaprism design and body size similar to the FM2, and a leather-grained surface finish on the back of the monitor that recalls the look of a film camera. The flat, grip-less form of the Z fc makes it easy to remove from a bag when you want to take a picture.

- The Story Behind the Product Name "Z fc
The name "Z fc" was given to this camera as a link between the past, present, and future history of Nikon, which has been earnestly dealing with cameras for more than 70 years. The "f" is an "f" for "fusion," indicating the "fusion" of the feel of precision instruments and high image quality, which has been perfected over decades of camera design and manufacturing. The "f" also symbolizes the cameras that have built Nikon's history. The "c" represents Nikon's wish that everyone will be able to use this traditional camera in a more "casual" way.

- Responsive dial controls are also fun to use.
Three dials for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and exposure compensation, as well as a small window displaying the F value, are mounted on the top surface of the body. The basic camera settings are visible at a glance. The responsive operation of the dials makes it fun to enjoy the shooting style of carefully adjusting each setting and releasing the shutter.

- The first vari-angle image monitor in the Z series
The Z fc is equipped with the first vari-angle image monitor in the Z series. Unlike tilt-type monitors, the monitor can be opened horizontally, allowing for a wider range of uses, including shooting with the camera attached to a selfie stick and vlogging. When the monitor is turned to the front, the camera automatically switches to the selfie mode, enabling high-quality selfies for both still and moving images. The AF-F mode, which is dedicated to movie shooting, can also be used in the selfie mode. The image monitor is a 3.0-inch, approximately 1.04 million-dot, touch panel that provides comfortable operability with light touch operation.

- High-performance AF with pupil AF/animal AF effective for movies
Hybrid AF automatically switches between image phase detection AF and contrast AF to capture subjects that appear at a moment's notice. The camera also features Pupil AF and Animal AF, which are effective for both still images and movies. Even when friends, family members, or pets* are moving, the camera can focus firmly on their eyes.
*Compatible with dogs and cats only.

- High sensitivity and high image quality ISO 100-51200
The maximum normal ISO sensitivity is 51200*. The high-performance image sensor and noise reduction of the EXPEED 6 image processing engine, which is also used in higher-end models, enable the camera to capture details and textures clearly in both still and moving images. Even in dark scenes, a higher shutter speed can be used by setting the camera to a higher sensitivity, allowing you to take pictures with less blurring.
Sensitization can be increased up to *204800 equivalent. The maximum normal ISO sensitivity during movie recording is 25600.

- 4K UHD video without cropping
4K UHD/30p movies can be shot without cropping, based on DX format. Self-portrait mode is activated when the camera's vari-angle image monitor is pointed toward the front, and it is easy to shoot high-quality vlog videos using pupil AF and full-time AF (AF-F), which keeps track of the subject.
