Optics

mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera[3]

How it works

The autofocus system uses 493 phase-detection points covering approximately 90% of the frame, with eye-detection for humans and animals. In-body five-axis image stabilization provides up to five stops of shake correction.[4]

The camera supports mechanical and electronic shutters, with continuous shooting up to ten frames per second. Dual card slots accept CFexpress Type B (or XQD) and SD UHS-II cards.[4][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

In a typical photography process, the camera is paired with Nikkor Z lenses; images are captured in raw or JPEG and later transferred via USB-C or Wi-Fi for post-processing. The dual card slots provide backup during professional shoots.[4]

Applications

The camera also records 4K UHD video at up to 60 frames per second, with oversampled 4K from the full sensor width at lower frame rates. N-Log and HLG HDR support are available for external recording.[4][2]

  • Autofocus tracking is described as less capable than newer Nikon bodies in challenging conditions.
  • The rear screen only tilts and does not fully articulate.
  • The model is described as not being a dedicated video-focused camera.
