Iconic design. Incredibly advanced sensors. Stunning B&W with new dedicated monochrome selector. Crystal clear imagery with new Pixel-shift. Superior VR performance. Premium embossed leather exterior. Timeless elegance meets modern performance.
The Z f inherits the iconic Nikon FM2 design you’ve seen before, but comes packed with features you haven’t. A new dedicated monochrome selector accentuates the beauty of black and white photography. Shoot multiple NEF (RAW) files with Pixel-shift for reduced noise and enhanced image quality, and video performance on par with the Z 9. Superior VR performance. Creative Picture Control for creative colours, tonality and clarity. The first vari-angle monitor in full-frame/FX-format series and the first touchFN camera in the Z Series for your operability needs. A new era of possibilities.
