Z fc fuses classic design with Z Series technology. Small size with big image quality. 4K videos with full-time Eye-Detection autofocus. A flip out vlogger screen with live streaming capabilities. This is a camera you think you’ve seen before. But the performance is entirely new.
Classic. Tactile. Modern.
Designed in the spirit of classic Nikon cameras.
Precision carved dials.
Feel every shot with tactile dials and manual controls, or sit back and let technology take over with Eye-Detection AF, touch screen, new self-portrait mode, and much more.
Mechanical controls.
Take full control of every moment with three tactile aluminium dials dedicated to ISO, Exposure Compensation and Shutter Speed.
See for your selfie.
Always find your best angle with a fully articulating, touch screen vari-angle monitor designed to make everyday shooting a breeze.
Available in six eye-catching colours.
In addition to the classic black, you can get the Z fc in one of six colours from a Nikon Australia Authorised Reseller.
Quality that thrills.
What sets the Z fc apart is the 20.9MP DX CMOS sensor paired with the EXPEED 6 engine and the light-gathering advantages of the wider Z Mount. Together, they give you clean, professional looking videos and stills, even in low light.
It all starts with the Z Mount
The Z fc is designed around Nikon’s revolutionary Z Mount, the widest lens mount of any comparable camera system. A wider mount means more light, and more light means more of everything good — sharpness, contrast, accurate focus, low light performance and image quality
Freedom to compose.
Take a moment and appreciate the world around you from fresh perspectives. The Z fc employs a 3.0-in vari-angle monitor — the first in a Z series camera. Effortlessly shoot vertical shots from low angles.
Set your sights.
Z fc’s sensor is practically covered in focus points— 87% coverage to be precise. That means wherever your subject is within the frame, a focus point is locked on. Compose the way you want.
Lock Eyes.
Nikon’s intelligent Eye-Detection AF for video and stills quickly locks onto eyes— humans, dogs or cats— and follows them. This is especially useful when you can’t be behind the camera, for first-person videos and selfies.
Get your shot. Whatever the light.
ISO sensitivity goes all the way up to ISO 51,200 (expandable to ISO 204,800) with superb sharpness, detail and clarity. Create after hours and in less-than-ideal lighting.
Creativity. Built in.
Add another element of uniqueness and artistry to your photos and videos with 20 Creative Picture Controls, all visible in real time while you shoot, either through the viewfinder or on the tilting touchscreen display.
Video done right.
Comprehensive video, vlogging and streaming capabilities. Record 4K Ultra HD video at 30p, 25p or 24p full pixel readout with no cropping. Combined with NIKKOR Z lenses, you’ll maximise the sensor’s resolution and produce videos with lifelike depth and clarity.
A vlogger’s best friend.
Z fc’s vari-angle display can face forward for easier vlogging and first-person recording. This activates self-portrait mode, bringing key camera controls to the monitor so you can conveniently touch and tap adjustments.
Live streaming.
Look your absolute best with Z fc and a NIKKOR Z lens. Simply connect the camera to your computer with a USB Type-C cable— it provides power too — and compatible software like the free Nikon Webcam Utility. You’ll get sharpness, clarity and flattering depth of field unlike a typical webcam.
Plays well with others.
Capture high quality sound in-camera using Z fc’s built-in stereo mic or a dedicated third-party external mic. The 3.5mm stereo mini-pin jack provides plug-in power. Monitor your audio levels onscreen, including a clipping indicator, and make gain adjustments in real-time.
Autofocus. Automated.
The whole time you’re recording, the autofocus system is working, making precise adjustments to keep your subject in sharp focus. This means you can be the one in front of the camera, even streaming live, with total confidence in your footage.
Lenses to match.
A future classic.
Meet the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5–6.3 VR. Capable of shooting wide-to-normal angle images — everything from landscapes to street scenes to portraits all captured clearly with 4.5 stops of vibration reduction. Plus a classic silver finish to match the Z fc.
A new look.
Introducing the new NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE), a special edition lens with a design inspired by the manual focus lenses used when the Nikon FM was released, this special edition lightweight, ultra-compact, fast prime completes the look of the Z fc. Take it everywhere and capture spontaneous moments anytime of day.
Image Transfers. Wireless and automatic.
Pair your smart device to Z fc from the SnapBridge app once, and your phone and camera are always connected. You can transfer videos and stills manually or set the app to automatically import every still you take, then edit and post your work with your favorite phone apps.
