Features:-

A deep grip design and balanced weight feel great with both NIKKOR Z and F-Mount NIKKOR lenses and the Mount Adapter FTZ adapter. Buttons and dials are comfortably placed—features like the sub-selector and AF-On button are in the same position as the D850. Unmistakably Nikon.

Big performance.
Small footprint.

One of the major benefits of the Z 7’s thin 16mm flange back distance is that cameras can be made smaller and lighter. The Z 7 is 26% lighter than the D850, yet it maintains outstanding handling and balance, even when using telephoto F-Mount NIKKOR lenses. It’s as comfortable to carry as it is to shoot with.

Flagship Nikon durability.

A skeleton forged from ultra-strong Magnesium Alloy, the same material used in the D850 and D5 for its extreme durability and incredible strength-to-weight ratio. The same brake mechanism and shutter blade material used in the D850, tested for 200,000 cycles while actually loaded in the camera. The Z 7 is ready for the field.

NEW NIKKOR Z LENSES

The next generation of NIKKOR glass.

Empowered by the larger Z Mount and shorter 16mm flange focal distance, NIKKOR Z lenses gather more light and break traditional rules of the “sweet spot”. Forget about stopping down for maximum sharpness—NIKKOR Z are at their best and deliver corner-to-corner sharpness even at their widest aperture.

Legendary F-Mount NIKKOR Lenses

Greater performance from the lenses you love.

When used with the optional Mount Adapter FTZ, more than 90 F-Mount NIKKOR lenses maintain all of their sharpness, resolving power and functionality and gain the advantages of the Z 7’s in-body VR, silent shooting, PDAF focusing system,¹ 4K video and more. Approximately 360 F-Mount NIKKOR lenses can be used. Compatibility as only Nikon can deliver.

493-Point Hybrid AF System

Focus on what matters.

493-Point On-Sensor PDAF

493² on-sensor AF points cover 90% of the frame (approx.) horizontally and vertically. Subjects are acquired quickly when they enter the frame and tracked throughout the frame, even to the far edges.

New Hybrid Autofocus

Using an AF algorithm optimised for its FX-format sensor, Z 7 automatically switches between focal-plane phase-detect AF and contrast-detect AF to fine-tune focus. The light-shielding phase detection pixels are carefully arranged on the sensor to preserve light, ensuring accurate AF even in dim lighting.

New Subject Tracking

Whether shooting eye-level with the EVF or in Live View with the LCD, Auto Area AF smoothly tracks your subject. For example, when shooting portraits, the system pays attention to the upper body, too, maintaining focus position when your subject briefly turns away from the camera or moves out of view.

Get the latest Subject Tracking performance which requires Firmware 3.0.

Eye-Detection AF

Eye-Detection AF is a powerful tool for capturing portraits that tracks and locks focus on your subject’s eye not only with AF-S (Single AF) mode, but also with AF-C (Continuous AF) mode—especially useful when your subject keeps changing their pose. Eye-Detection AF is also capable of intelligently recognising the eyes of multiple people in the frame, giving you the freedom to choose which person and eye to focus on and can even remain locked on eyes that become partially or temporarily obstructed.

New Animal Detection AF

Capture still images when focus has been acquired on a dog or cat’s eye, even in situations that were previously difficult for auto-area AF. When shooting video dog or cat’s face can be detected.

Pure Viewing Experience

Just like the real thing.

New 3.6M-Dot Quad VGA Viewfinder.

Oh, what a view.

Take an ultra-high resolution QUAD VGA display, add Nikon optics for magnification, including Aspherical lens elements and Fluorine coating, and you’ve got an EVF experience unlike any before it. Minimal lag and blackout, 100% frame coverage (approx.), corner-to-corner clarity and sharp magnification. It has the feel of an optical viewfinder, and you can use it for both stills and videos.

New Icon-Driven Info Display

Keep your eye on the prize.

All relevant info is displayed out of the way and is easy on the eyes. A new customisable menu appears right inside the viewfinder, so you can quickly adjust settings without ever taking your eye off the shot. Focus modes, white balance, exposure, VR settings, Picture Controls, and more—all within eye’s reach. Preview exposure and white balance changes, image stabilisation and depth-of-field in real time. You can even review the photo or video you just shot.

Up to 5 Stops of VR Image Stabilisation

Powerful in-body 5-axis VR image stabilisation is applied to whatever NIKKOR Z lens you’re using. Up to five stops³ of image stabilisation in up to five directions—yaw, pitch, roll, X and Y. During video recording, optical VR is combined with electronic VR (e-VR) for even steadier shots. Normal VR mode for static subjects. Sports VR for moving subjects.

VR for F-Mount NIKKOR Lenses

For the first time, F-Mount NIKKOR lenses like the AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED or AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED can benefit from in-body 3-axis VR.⁴ NIKKOR lenses that already have VR, like the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR, get the added benefit of roll axis for a total of 3-axis VR. Just add the optional Mount Adapter FTZ and you’re good to go.

New Built-In Timecode

All of your Z 7 footage can be time-coded in-camera for easier synchronising and logging, especially when editing shots from multi-camera shoots.

Slow Motion Videos

Capture every detail of movement with 120 FPS. Then play them back at 30, 25 or 24 FPS for jaw-dropping, fluid slow motion in 1080p High Definition.

Focus pulling optional

Four AF-area modes for videos: Single-Point AF, Wide-Area AF (S or L) and Auto-Area AF. Seamless automatic switching between Phase Detect and Contrast Detect AF based on the situation. Mimic focus pulling techniques by controlling when AF starts and stops in AF-C mode using AF speed and AF tracking sensitivity options.

New 10-Bit HDMI Output

What’s the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit recording? Only about 1 billion more colours (64X more data)—so much more flexibility in post-processing. Record directly to an optional external recorder with 10-bit output via HDMI, the industry standard. Simultaneously record uncompressed 8-bit 4K UHD movie files to the memory card and an external recorder. (Atomos Open Protocol supported for syncing start/stop.)

Smooth, Quiet AF

The speed, smoothness and accuracy of the Z 7’s AF system is ideal for video. It’s virtually silent, very little chance it will be picked up by an external mic. When used with NIKKOR Z lenses, “breathing” and “wobbling” are all but eliminated. You can even touch to focus using the LCD for fast transitions between subjects.

ISO 64 (Expandable to ISO 32)

Increased light capture means you can shoot at lower sensitivity more often. And the lower the sensitivity, the greater the detail, colour range and contrast.

ISO 25,600 (Expandable to 102,400)

More light gathering potential, flawless EXPEED 6 noise reduction and new NIKKOR Z lenses free you to explore the darker side of light with entirely new brilliance.

Remote Shooting

With SnapBridge version 2.5 or greater, you can also use your compatible smartphone as a remote monitor and controller. Touch focus, adjust settings like exposure mode, white balance and more, then fire the shutter.

New USB Battery Charging

For the first time in a full-frame Nikon camera, you can charge the Z 7’s new EN-EL15b battery in the camera through a standard USB-C connection—from your computer, a wall outlet or other charging device.⁸ Already have EN-EL15a/EN-EL15 batteries?⁹ They work with the Z 7, too.

New connectivity 

Connect to a Mac or PC over Wi-Fi and wirelessly transfer RAW, JPEG and movie files. Two modes available: Camera Access Point mode, for connecting directly to a PC, and Station (STA) mode, for connecting over a router.¹⁰

Brilliant. Bright. Stunning.

The beautiful high-resolution touchscreen is as sharp and clear as a smartphone. 8 cm (3.2-inches). 2.1-million dots. Crystal clear and vibrant. Tilt for shooting at high and low angles. Touchscreen control. This display is a smooth operator.

Like using a smartphone.

Nikon takes touchscreen control to the next level. Touch to focus. Pinch to zoom. Touch to fire the shutter. Swipe through photos and videos. Navigate settings as easily as navigating a smartphone. Pinch to magnify the image on-screen to check for critical sharpness. We’re living in a touchscreen world, and this is a touchscreen camera.

Sharper, clearer menus.

Totally familiar for a Nikon DSLR shooter, fast and intuitive for someone new to the Nikon system. Z 7’s menus and user interface are elegant, clear and easy to navigate with touch control. Easily add your favourite functions to the (i) menu—over 30 settings available—then access them from the LCD or EVF.

Remote Shooting and Rf Speedlight Control

Capture and create remotely.

Take control of the light with any compatible Nikon Speedlight. Use the optional WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller for wirelessly controlling SB-5000 Speedlights from another room, around corners or outdoors in bright sunlight. Advanced Wireless Lighting using optically controlled Speedlights like the SB-700 and SB-500 is also possible. For remote shooting, the WR-1 and WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controllers can be used.
