NIKON ZFC OVERVIEW
Blending
classic looks with modern performance, the Nikon Zfc checks off all the boxes
on a content creator's wish list: stylish and sleek retro design, impressive
image quality with the Z mirrorless system flexibility, and it's optimized for
vlogging and video applications. The
Zfc is a DX-format mirrorless camera sporting a 20.9MP CMOS sensor, which pairs
with EXPEED 6 image processing to realize quick shooting performance up to 11
fps, UHD 4K video recording at 30p, and sensitivity up to ISO 51200. Despite
its classic looks, this camera is updated for contemporary content creation and
features a fully articulating touchscreen LCD, supports live streaming, is
compatible with external microphones, and has an advanced 209-point AF system
with full-time subject tracking and eye-detection AF. Focusing
on the physical design, the Zfc stands out as a clear reference to Nikon's
classic SLR film camera heritage, and features several familiar physical
controls on the body, including dedicated dials to adjust ISO, shutter speed,
and exposure compensation. The body also features a 2.36m-dot OLED EVF and
supports SnapBridge wireless connectivity for pairing with a mobile device for
remote camera control. Also benefitting on-location shoots and longer takes,
the Zfc also supports in-camera battery charging and on-the-go power via the
USB Type-C port. 20.9MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor and
EXPEED 6 Image Processor
The
DX-format 20.9MP CMOS sensor is paired with the EXPEED 6 image processor to
provide a versatile mixture of high sensitivity, nuanced image quality, and
fast overall performance. At native values, a sensitivity range from ISO
100-51200 permits working in a broad array of lighting conditions, and can be
further expanded up to ISO 204800 for extreme low-light conditions. The mixture
of resolution and sensor size also contributes to clean image quality and
smooth color transitions with reduced noise throughout the sensitivity range.
In addition to benefitting image quality, the EXPEED 6 processor also affords a
wealth of speed throughout the camera system, including a top full-resolution
continuous shooting rate of 11 fps. Besides
imaging, the sensor's design also incorporates a 209-point hybrid autofocus
system, which uses both phase-detection and contrast-detection methods to
quickly and accurately acquire focus for both stills and video applications.
This focusing system also supports Eye Detection AF, which uses facial
recognition to help lock focus onto subjects' eyes.
UHD 4K Video Recording
Capable
of recording more than just stills, the Zfc supports UHD 4K video recording at
up to 30 fps and Full HD recording at up to 120 fps, for slow-motion effects,
along with the ability to save movie files to the in-camera memory card.
In-camera time-lapse shooting is also possible.
Heritage Design with Intuitive
Functions
Precision
carved aluminum dials with engraved markings and mechanical controls for
shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. Intuitive functions also enable
easy access to auto mode, quick settings, and the menu help guide.
Body Design and Connectivity
- A
large 3" 1.04m-dot LCD screen is available for bright, clear, and vivid
image playback and live view shooting. The screen has a vari-angle design,
which benefits front-facing selfie captures, and it is also a touchscreen for
more intuitive operation, navigation, and settings control.
- A
2.36m-dot electronic finder is present for comfortable eye-level viewing. It
has a 1.02x magnification and uses NIKKOR optics to guarantee a sharp, clear
image.
- A
robust magnesium alloy chassis is both dust- and weather-resistant to benefit
working in harsh climates and inclement conditions.
- Built-in
SnapBridge connectivity to enable seamless transfer of low-resolution imagery
as well as remote shooting capabilities. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi
enables communication between the camera and a smart device and, additionally,
the mobile device can remotely trigger the shutter and display a live view
image from the camera to enable working from a distance.
- Live
streaming and web conferencing via separately purchased USB Type-C cable.
- 3.5mm
stereo mini-pin jack provides plug-in power
- Included
EN-EL25 rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 300 shots per
charge.
- Compatible
with NIKKOR Z lenses as well as F-mount lenses using the separately purchased
FTZ Mount Adapter.
NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 SE Lens
Included
with the camera body is the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 SE Lens, an ultra-compact,
lightweight FX-format prime lens with a traditional Nikon heritage design. This
special edition lens is designed to be a versatile wide-angle lens well-suited
to a range of subjects, including landscape, architecture, and reportage. With
an f/2.8 max aperture, this fast, bright lens offers beautiful details at a
standard focal length. Complementing the optical design, a multi-focus system,
which employs two stepping motors, helps to realize impressively fast,
accurate, and quiet focus performance, along with full-time manual focus
override, to suit both stills and video needs. Additionally, a programmable
control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and
exposure settings. It makes for a great carry-around lens for spontaneous
moments at any time of day.
