The Nikon Z fc is a sleek, modern DX-format Z-mount mirrorless camera that’s optimized for vlogging and other video applications. Key features include:
Optimized for vlogging and other video applications
20.9MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 processor
Fast, accurate autofocus and focus tracking
4K UHD capture at 24/25/30p
Nikon Z System. The Nikon Z fc belongs to Nikon’s full-frame Z-mount system, which gives you exceptional image quality and optical design in a compact build. This system’s inner diameter is 17% larger than the F mount, allowing for more advanced optics and lenses, while the 16mm flange distance is 65% shorter than the F mount, which makes for markedly slimmer body designs. Z-mount cameras are only compatible with Z-mount lenses, and Z-mount lenses only work with Z-mount cameras.
Great Image Quality with Fast Performance. The DX-format 20.9MP CMOS sensor is paired with the EXPEED 6 processor to give you a native ISO range of 100-51,200 and an extended ISO range of 100-204,800. The sensor gives you clean, low-noise images at high ISO values, while the EXPEED 6 processor gives you a 11 fps top full-resolution continuous shooting speed and 30 fps shooting at 8MP.
209-Point Hybrid Autofocus System. The Z fc’s AF system uses phase-detection and contrast-detection AF points to quickly and accurately acquire focus, making it great for stills and video. Eye-Detection AF, which uses facial recognition to focus on a familiar subject’s eyes, is available for both stills and video.
UHD 4K Video Capture. The Z fc isn’t just for ultra-sharp stills; it’s capable of in-camera UHD 4K recording at 24/25/30p, Full HD at up to 120p for slow-motion playback, and time-lapse shooting with the ability to produce a finished UHD 4K video file directly from the camera.
High-Res Electronic Viewfinder and LCD. The built-in EVF boasts 2.36m-dot resolution, 100% coverage, and 1.02x magnification to give you a bright, clear view of what the sensor sees. The tilting 3.0-inch 1m-dot rear touchscreen LCD can also be used for image composition and review when shooting at arm’s length, and its vari-angle design is excellent for vlogging and selfies.
Tough and Compact Retro-Style Build. As you’d expect, the Z fc is plenty durable in spite of its compact and lightweight build. Its magnesium-alloy body features dust and weather sealing, so inclement weather and harsh climates won’t be able to stop you. Its precision-carved aluminum dials have engraved markings, and there are mechanical shutter-speed, exposure-compensation, and ISO controls.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The Z fc uses Nikon’s SnapBridge platform to transfer images from the camera to a phone or tablet. Using Bluetooth, you can quickly transfer low-res proxy files to share, tag your files with dates, times and locations, and operate the camera remotely with shutter release and live view display.
Additional Features. The included EN-EL25 battery gives you up to 300 shots per charge, and a single memory-card slot supports SD/SDHC/SDXC card speeds up to UHS-I.
