More than mirrorless.
Nikon mirrorless.
Our vision has always been to create cameras and lenses that capture more light. More light means more detail. More speed. More possibilities. The Z 7 brings that vision to life (and then some). Combining the advantages of a lightweight mirrorless design, a revolutionary new full-frame lens mount and matched lenses, a Nikon designed 45.7MP image sensor and seamless integration with Nikon’s DSLR system—including the NIKKOR lenses you love—the Z 7 is a camera unlike any before it. And yet, it’s unmistakably a Nikon. This is mirrorless reinvented.

Features:

• 45.7 Megapixels
• FX Format
• 9 FPS Continuous Shooting
• 64–25,600 ISO (Expandable to 102,400)
• 4K UHD 3840x2160 at 30/25/24p

FEELS LIKE A NIKON
As comfortable and familiar as an old friend.

STREAMLINED, FAMILIAR ERGONOMICS
At home in your hands.
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.

26% LIGHTER
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. Its as comfortable to carry as it is to shoot with.

MAGNESIUM ALLOY BODY
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.

EXTENSIVE WEATHER SEALING
The forecast is: it doesn't matter.
Like the D850 and other high-end Nikon DSLRs, the Z 7 is extensively weather sealed against dust and moisture, as are Nikkor Z lenses and the Mount Adapter FTZ. No need to baby this camera.


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*, 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
The points of the story.
493 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
The best of both worlds.
Using an AF algorithm optimized 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
Follow a face in the crowd.
Whether shooting eye-level with the EVF or in Live View with the LCD, Auto Area AF smoothly tracks your subject's face—even when it’s one among many. 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.


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 customizable 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 stabilization and depth-of-field in real time. You can even review the photo or video you just shot.


IN-BODY VR IMAGE STABILIZATION
Steady as it goes.

UP TO 5 STOPS OF VR IMAGE STABILIZATION
Rock steady. Tack sharp.
Powerful in-body 5-axis VR image stabilization is applied to whatever NIKKOR Z lens you're using. Up to five stops of image stabilization 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
Your favorite lenses now have VR.
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. 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.


PORTABLE CINEMATIC POWERHOUSE
Made for video.

FULL FRAME 4K ULTRA HD
Amazing productions start here.
Capture cinematic 16:9 4K UHD/30p video in full-frame using the total width and resolution of the Z 7’s backside-illuminated sensor. Clean output at high ISO. Zero crop factor with full-frame NIKKOR Z and F-Mount NIKKOR lenses. Full-pixel readout in DX Mode for sharper 4K footage with rich information equivalent to 5K. Focus Peaking in both 4K and 1080p recording. Simultaneous 8MP stills. This is 4K as it was meant to be.

8K TIME-LAPSE
Travel through time.
Like the D850, the Z 7 is a time-lapse machine. Shoot up to 9,999 full resolution stills with no shutter vibration using the Interval Timer, then combine them into one 8K movie with 3rd party software. Create 4K time-lapse sequences right in the camera with exposure smoothing and extended low-light metering range—great for star trails and light painting.

NEW 10-BIT HDMI OUTPUT
Smoother, richer post processing.
What's the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit recording? Only about 1 billion more colors (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
Even more powerful for videos.
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.

FOUR AF-AREA MODES
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 N-LOG WITH VIEW ASSIST
Maximum detail, viewable in-camera.
Nikon's N-LOG format preserves more detail, up to 12 stops of dynamic range, shadows and highlights to make color grading more precise in post. For easier spot checking of focus and exposure, the new View Assist function displays simple gradation compensation, highly useful for confirming the final look of the footage.

NEW BUILT-IN TIME-CODE
Shot lists made easy.
All of your Z 7 footage can be time-coded in-camera for easier synchronizing and logging, especially when editing shots from multi-camera shoots.

SLOW MOTION VIDEOS
Secrets revealed.
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.


HD TILTING TOUCHSCREEN
A feast for the eyes.

2.1 MILLION-DOT TILTING TOUCHSCREEN
Brilliant. Bright. Stunning.
The beautiful high-resolution touchscreen is as sharp and clear as a smartphone. 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.

FULL TOUCH OPERATION
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.

NEW IMPROVED GUI DESIGN

Easily add your favorite functions to the (i) menu—over 30 settings available—then access them from the LCD or EVF.


ULTIMATE IMAGE QUALITY
Create your masterpiece with ours.

NEW Z MOUNT
A breakthrough in optical design.
17% larger internal diameter than Nikon's acclaimed F-Mount. Wider than any full-frame mount available. It totally changes what’s possible with lens design. Enhanced low-light performance. Even illumination from corner-to-corner. Maximum apertures as wide as f/0.95. Faster data transfer between camera and lens. This is the ideal balance between mount diameter, large image sensor and flange focal distance.

NEW EXPEED 6 IMAGE PROCESSING
Bringing your images to life.
The fastest, most comprehensive EXPEED system yet. Delicate tones with vivid colors. Suppressed noise without loss of detail. Greater processing speed. New mid-range sharpening alongside conventional sharpening. Diffraction compensation for stopped down lenses. 4K capture with mid-range sharpening, vignette control, auto distortion control and lateral chromatic aberration correction. This is the brain and muscle of the Z 7.

NEW 45.7MP IMAGE SENSOR
Full frame brilliance.
One of the finest full-frame image sensors Nikon has ever designed. 45.7 million effective megapixels. Backside illuminated. Discreetly placed focal-plane phase-detection AF pixels. Maximum dynamic range and low light performance. Minimal light falloff at the periphery of the frame. And without an optical low pass filter, it's able to capture the full resolving power of NIKKOR Z and F-Mount NIKKOR lenses.

9 FPS SHOOTING
The speed to succeed.
Shoot up to 9 FPS at full resolution (12-bit RAW or JPEG) with minimal shooting noise and without the need for an external battery pack. For complete silence, switch to Silent Mode and shoot up to 8 FPS with no mechanical noise.

ISO 64 (EXPANDABLE TO ISO 32)
Lower sensitivity. Greater sensibility.
Increased light capture means you can shoot at lower sensitivity more often. And the lower the sensitivity, the greater the detail, color range and contrast.

ISO 25,600 (EXPANDABLE TO 102,400)
Cloak yourself in darkness.
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.
