Nikon Z 50

The Nikon Z 50 is a sleek, extremely compact DX-format mirrorless camera in Nikon’s versatile Z mount. Key features include:

• Great image quality in an extremely compact build

• 20.9MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 processor

• Fast, accurate autofocus and focus tracking

• 4K UHD capture at 24/25/30p

Nikon Z System. The Nikon Z 50 belongs to Nikon’s Z-mount system, which gives you exceptional image quality and optical design in a compact build. This system’s inner diameter is 17% larger than the F mount, allowing for more advanced optics and lenses, while the 16mm flange distance is 65% shorter than the F mount, which makes for markedly slimmer body designs. Z-mount cameras are only compatible with Z-mount lenses, and Z-mount lenses only work with Z-mount cameras.

Great Image Quality with Fast Performance. The DX-format 20.9MP CMOS sensor is paired with the EXPEED 6 processor to give you a native ISO range of 100-51,200 and an extended ISO range of 100-204,800. The sensor gives you clean, low-noise images at high ISO values, while the EXPEED 6 processor gives you a 11 fps top full-resolution continuous shooting speed and 30 fps shooting at 8MP.

209-Point Hybrid Autofocus System. The Z50’s AF system uses phase-detection and contrast-detection AF points to quickly and accurately acquire focus, making it great for stills and video. This system supports Eye-Detection AF, which uses facial recognition to focus on a familiar subject’s eyes.

4K UHD Video Capture. The Z 50 isn’t just for ultra-sharp stills; it’s capable of in-camera 4K UHD recording at 24/25/30p, Full HD at up to 120p for slow-motion playback, and in-camera time-lapse shooting with the ability to produce a finished UHD 4K video file directly from the camera. You can save movie files to in-camera memory cards or to an external recorder via HDMI out.

High-Res Electronic Viewfinder and LCD. The built-in EVF boasts 2.3m-dot resolution, 100% coverage, and 1.02x magnification to give you a bright, clear view of what the sensor sees. The tilting 3.2-inch 1m-dot rear touchscreen LCD can also be used for image composition and review when shooting at arm’s length, and its 180° flip-down design is excellent for selfies.

Tough, Compact Build. As you’d expect, the Z50 is plenty durable in spite of its compact and lightweight build. Its magnesium-alloy body features dust and weather sealing, so inclement weather and harsh climates won’t be able to stop you.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The Z50 uses Nikon’s SnapBridge platform to transfer images from the camera to a phone or tablet. Using Bluetooth, you can quickly transfer low-res proxy files to share, tag your files with dates, times and locations, and operate the camera remotely with shutter release and live view display.

Additional Features. The included gives you up to 300 shots per charge, and a single memory-card slot supports card speeds up to UHS-I. You also get a range of special-effects modes and in-camera image-editing options.
