Overview
- The world's first*1 partially-stacked CMOS sensor, featuring 24.5 effective megapixels, achieves an approximately 3.5x faster readout than the Z6II.
- Pre-Release Capture at up to 120 fps allows capture up to 1 sec before fully pressing the shutter release button.
- Flexible in-camera video recording options such as 6K N-RAW/ProRes RAW and 5.4K ProRes 422 HQ & H.265.
- Full HD/240p for flexibility to create 10x slow motion videos in 10-bit H.265.
- The world's brightest*2 EVF at 4000 cd/m2, a wide DCI-P3 color gamut, and a 5760k-dot high-resolution for a clear, accurate display of detail.
- Superior robustness equivalent to the Z8, and enables function in cold situations down to -10°C/14°F.
- High-performance AF of nine subject types inherited from the Z9 and Z8.
- Flexible Color Picture Control*3 enables images to be crafted with more freedom.
- Nikon Imaging Cloud enables image transfer without the need for a computer and offers a variety of bespoke color presets (Imaging Recipes).
