CLASSIC DESIGN MEETS MODERN ENGINEERING
Whether you’re creating content or capturing your artistic vision, this is the perfect addition for stylish photography lovers. Tell your own story and capture some of life’s iconic moments with a camera that’s equally iconic. The Z fc is an ode to Nikon’s rich history and heritage. Taking inspiration from the Nikon FM2, it infuses cutting-edge technology in an aesthetically pleasing camera body. It’s a lightweight and compact system that’s the quintessential companion for all your photography projects and adventures, wherever you are.
HERITAGE AT HEART
Amplify your everyday style with the Z fc. Inspired by the trademark features of Nikon film cameras, the engraved Nikon brand name, circular eye-piece, control dials and shutter button all come together to create a joyfully tactile shooting experience. Textured leather and matte silver accents add an element of luxury to its rugged, yet sophisticated design. You’ll also be able to further express your unique personal style with 6 Premium Exterior1 colour options for your Z fc.
The accompanying kit lenses are decked out with a sleek black and silver coating to match that vintage vibe of the camera body. The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is treated with a silver exterior colour; and the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE), a special edition lens designed to emulate the look and feel of the much-loved manual NIKKOR lenses, are introduced to complement Z fc.
CREATIVITY MEETS CRAFT
Take your creativity to the next level with 20 types of Creative Picture Controls pre-set filters that can be previewed via the electronic viewfinder or live monitor before shooting to save time on post-shoot editing. Quickly identify your subjects and capture precise facial expressions, in humans and pets, with Eye-Detection AF and Animal Detection AF2 for both stills and videos. Capture clear and detailed images, even in low-light conditions with a high ISO sensitivity of up to 51,2003.
For those looking to capture sharp selfies or create vlogs with an unobstructed view, the TFT LCD vari-angle monitor makes shooting an absolute dream. Relive occasions with moving visuals, the Z fc records in 4K UHD and features a slow-motion video option that’s great at emphasising details that the eye normally doesn’t pick up. A dedicated movie mode (AF-F) allows you to keep focus on your intended subject, even when on the move – perfect for capturing emotive scenes.
GO WITH THE FLOW
Intuitively designed for an easier and quicker shooting experience, the Z fc allows for quick adjustments and to keep your creativity flowing while on the go. Dedicated dials for important settings such as ISO, shutter speed, exposure, and display panel for aperture setting are all conveniently located at the top of the camera for an overview at a glance. Sturdy and light, the Z fc camera body weighs approximately 390g and is built with magnesium alloy to deliver resilience through your photography journeys.
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Complete your photography workflow with SnapBridge and Webcam Utility. Transfer stills and videos seamlessly to your smart phone for instant uploading to social media and remote shooting with Snapbridge Ver 2.8. Providing sharper output for any online streaming with Webcam Utility support, the Z fc is an excellent combination with its compact body and vari-angle monitor. The ever-expanding line-up of NIKKOR Z lenses, together with approximately 360 F mount lenses when paired with the Mount Adapter FTZ4 means you can take your creativity even further for any photography genres.
