Nikon’s first FX-format mirrorless camera with 45.7 effective megapixels gets the most out of the NIKKOR Z lenses’ unprecedented optical performance

Our vision has always been to create cameras and lenses that capture more light. More light means more detail. More speed. More possibilities. The Z 7 brings that vision to life (and then some). Combining the advantages of a lightweight mirrorless design, a revolutionary new full-frame lens mount and matched lenses, a Nikon designed 45.7MP image sensor and seamless integration with Nikon’s DSLR system—including the NIKKOR lenses you love—the Z 7 is a camera unlike any before it. And yet, it’s unmistakably a Nikon. This is mirrorless reinvented.

Evolution never ends for high-pixel-count cameras. Featuring 45.7 effective megapixels in a compact body, the Z 7 — Nikon’s brand new, FX-format mirrorless camera — fully exploits the unprecedented optical performance offered by the new NIKKOR Z lenses and delivers overwhelming edge-to-edge detail in both stills and videos. In addition, its wide, 493-point hybrid AF system with superb focusing accuracy and the new EXPEED 6 image-processing engine contribute to achieving sharper images than ever. The 3690k-dot Quad-VGA electronic viewfinder provides a clear view and an amazingly comfortable shooting experience, thanks to Nikon’s advanced optics and imaging expertise. And with 10-bit N-Log as well as 4K UHD and 8K time-lapse* movie, it meets the needs of demanding video creators too. Condensing all of this power into a compact yet robust body, the Z 7 promises to take you to a new world of truly amazing images. * 8K time-lapse movie production requires third-party software.

A crisper definition in stills and movies with a new sharpness parameter — EXPEED 6 The new EXPEED 6 image-processing engine helps maximize the high resolving power of NIKKOR Z and NIKKOR F lenses, along with the camera’s high-pixel-count image sensor performance. It’s designed to bring more sharpness to your images while effectively reducing noise, allowing the camera to achieve a maximum standard sensitivity of ISO 25,600. The engine now supports a mid-range sharpening parameter* for Picture Control, Nikon’s unique image creation system, which works together with the existing sharpening and clarity parameters to effectively enhance sharpness for both stills and videos. EXPEED 6 also offers diffraction compensation, which helps capture landscapes and cityscapes crisply even at slow apertures. And with the introduction of Creative Picture Controls, it enables you to create your own look more easily than ever before. * High image quality mode only for video

Delivering unparalleled resolution with NIKKOR Z lenses — Backside illumination CMOS sensor featuring 45.7 e effective megapixels and ISO 64-25,600

At the heart of the Z 7 is a new FX-format backside illumination CMOS sensor, featuring 45.7 effective megapixels and focal-plane phase-detection AF pixels. It takes full advantage of NIKKOR Z lenses´ unparalleled optical performance, bringing a new level of sharpness to your images. What’s more, by increasing the volume of signal accumulated in the photodiodes as much as possible, the Z 7 achieves a standard sensitivity range of ISO 64-25,600 (expandable to ISO 32-102,400 equivalent) with advanced image processing by EXPEED 6. Focal-plane phase-detection AF pixels are efficiently distributed throughout the sensor, allowing it to provide accurate AF over a wide area of the frame. Meanwhile, the sensor’s copper-wiring circuits enable rapid read-out of AF information and the huge volume of data from its 45.7 effective megapixels, while realizing continuous shooting at up to 9 fps*. * AE is fixed at the first frame.

The Z 7 introduces a mid-range sharpening parameter* for Picture Control, Nikon’s image creation system. It sits between the existing clarity parameter, which adjusts overall sharpness, and sharpening, which adjusts the appearance of details and patterns. Used together, they give you finer control over the various textures within the frame to make them look sharper or softer. If you want to control sharpening, clarity and mid-range sharpening in a simpler way, “quick sharp” is available to adjust them with a single slider. * High image quality mode only for video

With digital cameras, if you select a small aperture to increase depth of field when shooting cityscapes or landscapes, it may cause a loss of sharpness across the image due to diffraction. The Z 7’s newly employed diffraction compensation function automatically reduces the effects of diffraction when a small aperture is used. As a result, you can get the most out of the high resolving power of NIKKOR Z and NIKKOR F lenses and the camera’s high-pixel-count image sensor.

Accurate focus across 90% of the frame — 493-point hybrid AF system To experience the true potential of the Z 7’s 45.7 effective megapixels and the high resolution of the NIKKOR Z lenses, extremely sharp focus is essential. The Z 7 adopts a newly developed hybrid AF system that offers extremely wide coverage — approx. 90% of the frame both horizontally and vertically with 493 focus points*1 . Using an AF algorithm that’s optimized for the FXformat sensor, it achieves focus on the subject, utilizing focal-plane phase-detection AF or contrast-detect AF as appropriate. Thanks to its wide coverage, it can also focus on subjects in the periphery, bringing a new level of creative freedom. What’s more, the NIKKOR Z lenses are designed to meet a stricter AF standard, ensuring high-resolution performance and superior AF accuracy. And when shooting stills of dark scenes, activating the camera’s low-light AF function offers AF down to -4 EV*2 . *1 In FX format with single-point AF. *2 With f/2.0 lens attached, ISO 100, 20°C/68°F

Approx. 5.0-stop vibration reduction for a wide variety of scenes — Nikon’s fi rst*1 in-camera VR The Z 7 incorporates an in-camera vibration reduction (VR) mechanism, providing an effect equivalent to a shutter speed up to approx. 5.0 stops*2 faster. It detects camera shake using the image’s motion vector information as well as the gyro sensor, and then drives the vibration reduction unit to offer compensation in five directions: yaw, pitch, X, Y, and roll, which is likely to be noticeable in videos. It also works with NIKKOR F lenses, including non-VR lenses*3. *1 Among interchangeable lens digital cameras. *2 Based on CIPA Standards. This value is achieved when NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S attached, with zoom set at the maximum telephoto position. *3 Requires Mount Adapter FTZ. When using NIKKOR F lenses, the VR effect is slightly lower compared to using NIKKOR Z lenses.

Pinpoint AF* Uses a focus area half the size of single-point AF to attain precise focus on a very small area of the subject — particularly useful for capturing subjects such as the pistil of a flower, or an intricately designed accessory. * Available when AF-S is selected for still images. Contrast-detect AF is activated when this mode is set. Single-point AF Focuses on the subject using just the selected focus point. This is ideal when you want to achieve focus on a particular part of a stationary subject, such as a person’s eye. Dynamic-area AF* Focuses on the subject using the selected focus point. If the subject briefly leaves the selected point, the camera will focus based on information from the surrounding AF points. * Available when AF-C is selected for still images. Wide-area AF (S/L) Captures a subject with a wider focus area. Two AF area size options are available, depending on the size of the subject. Auto-area AF Using information from all focus points, the camera automatically detects the main subject and focuses on it. When “On” is selected for “Auto-area AF face detection,” the camera automatically detects faces, and users can choose which face to focus on if there is more than one. Thanks to a newly developed face-detection and subject-tracking algorithm, the AF can keep tracking a subject’s face if they turn their head or briefly look away.

Get a clear and comfortable view of your subjects — Approx. 3690k-dot Quad-VGA electronic viewfinder (EVF) incorporating Nikon’s superior optical and image-processing technology Viewfinder visibility is crucial for photographers. In developing a mirrorless camera system, Nikon didn’t just aim for impressive specifications. The Z 7’s electronic viewfinder boasts an organic EL panel, approx. 100% frame coverage and approx. 0.8× magnification*, with an approx. 37.0° diagonal viewing angle. But it also draws on Nikon’s superior optical and image-processing technology to ensure a clear and comfortable view with reduced aberration and minimum eyestrain, even during extended shoots. Furthermore, fluorine coat is applied to the eyepiece protection window, reducing flare while repelling dirt. * 50mm lens at infinity, -1.0 m-1.

Take full control over focusing — Four functions for smoother MF operation Some photographers prefer to use manual focusing instead of AF depending on the subject, and the Z 7 provides four confirming functions to realize maximum focus precision. You can zoom in on the image to confirm focus in detail by pressing the zoom in button before shooting. The electronic rangefinder indicates if the subject is in focus, or if the focus point is far in front or behind. When focus is achieved, the selected focus point turns green, allowing even easier confirmation. Meanwhile, the focus distance indicator* at the bottom of the display shows where focus is obtained, between infinity and the minimum range. Finally, when focus peaking display is enabled, the camera automatically detects the highest-contrast edges in the scene and highlights them in a designated color. * Available when using NIKKOR Z lenses.
