Product Specs

Basic Information

Product Features
Compact and lightweight mirrorless camera suitable for shooting video in a wide range of scenes, from everyday vlogging to special effects

- Video expression that cannot be experienced with smartphones
The Z 30's image sensor (APS-C size/DX format) is approximately 14 times larger (in terms of area) than the image sensor in most smartphones (*1/2.5-inch image sensor), allowing it to capture more light, and the same EXPEED image processing engine as the Z 7/Z 6 6 image processing engine and NIKKOR Z lenses, which are the same as those used in the Z 7/Z 6, to achieve high image quality. It also has excellent high-sensitivity performance and produces clear images even in dark areas.

- Optimized design for movie shooting, smallest and lightest of the Z series*1)
The smallest and lightest body in the Z series, with a design optimized for movie shooting, makes it easy to carry and comfortable to shoot for long periods of time. Even with the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR kit lens attached, it weighs only 540g(*2), about the size of a 500ml plastic bottle, making it easy to carry around. The deep, easy-to-hold grip feels comfortable in the hand, even when shooting all day long. The grip can be held firmly, allowing you to shoot more stable video.

- Exposure compensation can be set as desired even in AUTO mode
The simple and easy-to-use shooting mode [AUTO] employs specifications that enable expression with a focus on the brightness of the image even when the camera is in [AUTO]. The brightness can be easily changed with the exposure compensation button and command dial. The brightness can be changed easily using the exposure compensation button and command dial.

- A full range of functions to enhance expressiveness, including Picture Control
The flagship Z 9's Picture Control [Auto], which adjusts colors to best suit video, makes it easy to enhance the quality of your videos. You can also freely change the mood of your work with 20 different Creative Picture Controls. Furthermore, the camera is loaded with features that enhance the expressive power of video, such as slow motion video that can be captured by the camera, long time video recording that can last up to 125 minutes(*3) in a single shot, and 4K UHD video with high resolution.

- Time-lapse movies that enrich the expressive power of Vlogs and video content
The Z 30's Time Lapse Movie function automatically captures still images at set shooting intervals and records them in the camera as a time-lapse movie. The Z 30's "Time Lapse Movie" function automatically captures still images at set shooting intervals and records them in the camera as time-lapse movies.

- Custom buttons and mode dial for instant setting changes
The Z 30 offers a wide range of customization options for smoother operation during shooting. The Fn1 and Fn2 buttons can be used to quickly recall registered settings during shooting. Frequently used functions can be pre-registered on the U1/U2/U3 shooting mode dials and accessed simply by turning the dial. For example, setting animal AF to U1 allows you to instantly respond to the movements of pets, while setting the function best suited for night photography to U2 allows you to quickly take night shots.

- Easy-to-use operation even for first-time users
Equipped with pupil AF and animal AF, the camera can capture images in which the face and pupils are in focus by letting the camera do the work for you. In addition, a touch panel is used for the vari-angle image monitor that allows easy shooting at any angle, including high and low angles. With the same light touch operation as that of a smartphone, focusing, shooting, and setting changes can be made quickly with a touch of a finger.

- High Still Image Performance Unique to Z Series Cameras
The Z series cameras have a maximum normal ISO sensitivity of 51200(*4), which allows for beautiful images even in dark environments. Pupil AF/animal AF detects the face and eyes of people, dogs, and cats, and high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 11 frames/second (*5) for easy moment capture. Silent shooting captures the natural facial expressions of friends and pets. Inheriting many functions from the high-end model, the new model also offers high performance in still image shooting.
