Product Features in Detail


PORTABLE PRECISION
Take the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR anywhere your inspiration leads you. Taking up very minimal weight in your bag, the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR weighs in at approximately 135g yet produces intensely rich image quality thanks to its lens elements. A versatile zoom range from 16mm to 50mm excels equally as well with wide-angle photography as it does with medium-telephoto closeups. Catch fleeting moments with ease with the lens’ simple and effective buttonless retractable-lens mechanism.


POWERFUL PERFORMANCE
It may be light-weight and compact, but don’t be mistaken - this lens packs a powerful punch. Whether your subject is up-close or far away, achieve razor-sharp images across the entire frame with its remarkable resolving power. The large inner diameter and shorter flange focal distance of the Z mount system goes a long way to ensuring powerful optical performance.


BANISH BLUR
Nothing’s worse than capturing what should be a show-stopping photo, and seeing the image is tarnished by unintended blur. Thankfully the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR’s built-in optical VR system provides superb blur-correction that’s equivalent to a shutter speed of 4.5 stops faster*. This means you can shoot without increasing ISO in low-light conditions – making it ideal for indoor events that require handheld shooting. Of course, not all photography subjects sit still, so if you need to capture something in full-flight, it’s best achieved by activating the ‘SPORT’ mode via your Z 50.


COMPLETE CONTROL
There are times when a moment is best conveyed with motion and sounds, and the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lets you do that with full creative control and minimal interruption. Capture quiet moments without the fear of unwanted camera noise with the lens’s autofocus (AF) mechanism with stepping motor (STM) and diaphragm mechanism. The easy-to-use control ring lets you comfortably capture images with different focus points and levels of brightness. And smooth aperture control means you can seamlessly sail between scenes by delivering natural exposure changes. Creative control is firmly in your hands


SUPERIOR OPTICAL PERFORMANCE CONCENTRATED IN A HIGHLY PORTABLE, COMPACT AND LIGHT BODY FACILITATES SHOOTING FOR AMAZING IMAGE QUALITY
Utilizing a short flange focal distance, one of the great advantages of the Z mount system, a thin body design with a weight of only approx. 135 g/4.8 oz is achieved without sacrificing optical performance. Also, the adoption of a retractable-lens mechanism that shortens the length when stored results in a compact and light design. In addition, the retractable-lens mechanism can extend/retract the lens via zoom ring rotation without pressing a button. This highly mobile standard zoom lens enables the easy capture of high-quality images anytime and anywhere, even when sudden shutter opportunities arise.


HIGHLY PRACTICAL ZOOM RANGE* FROM WIDE-ANGLE 16 MM SUITABLE FOR LANDSCAPES TO MEDIUM-TELEPHOTO 50 MM
Featuring a zoom range from wide-angle 16 mm to medium-telephoto 50 mm, this lens is ideal for a wide variety of scenes and subjects such as wide-spread landscapes, snapshots and portraits.
* Angle of view is equivalent to that of a 24-75mm lens in FX/35mm format.


BEAUTIFUL IMAGES OF EVEN FINELY DETAILED OR NEAR SUBJECTS CAN BE CAPTURED
Thanks to the high resolution attained with a large-diameter Z mount that greatly changes the perception of conventional DX-format kit lenses, fine details can be faithfully and sharply reproduced across the entire frame from maximum aperture. Also, utilizing an extremely short minimum focus distance of 0.2 m/ 0.66 ft (at 24 mm zoom position), even close subjects can be sharply focused for beautiful images. High-quality images showing exceptional detail transform everyday lives and familiar scenes into highly attractive and impressive works that can be appreciated by everyone.

Employment of an ED glass element (1) and aspherical lens elements (4) effectively controls various aberrations, minimizing color bleeding caused by chromatic aberration as well as curvature of field that is likely to occur at the periphery in the wide-angle range.


On both the wide-angle and telephoto sides, depiction with a sense of depth utilizing bokeh is made possible. You can easily create eye-catching effects in portraits that impressively emphasize the subject or pictures of flowers in which one particular bloom is effectively focused on.


SUPERB VR EFFECT EQUIVALENT TO A SHUTTER SPEED 4.5 STOPS FASTER ENABLES THE CAPTURE OF IMAGES WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT CAMERA SHAKE
The built-in optical VR (Vibration Reduction) system provides an outstanding blur-correction effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.5 stops faster* (based on CIPA Standard). Even for scenes such as night landscapes and low-light indoor situations, image blur in a finder image or resulting image caused by camera shake is effectively compensated, enabling the reliable capture of shutter opportunities.

* This value is achieved when attached to a mirrorless camera equipped with an APS-C size image sensor, and when zoom is set to the maximum telephoto position.


GREAT MOVIE RECORDING PERFORMANCE FOR SMOOTH AND NATURAL FOOTAGE
A wide range of features that realize enhanced movie expression is incorporated. With effective focus-breathing reduction, natural movies with minimal shifting of the angle of view are attained even when the focus point changes. The control ring to which various functions such as focus (M/A)*, ISO sensitivity, aperture or exposure compensation can be assigned allows smooth and quiet clickless operation. Because AF and diaphragm mechanisms ensure quiet operation, movie recording is reliably enabled without worrying about their operation sounds being recorded. In addition, stable aperture control delivers smooth and natural exposure changes to movies.

* With this manual-priority autofocus mode, AF is instantly overridden with MF by rotating the control ring.
