Vloggers can now enjoy an amazing variety in imaging expression with the new Nikon Z 50 camera. This is Nikon's first DX-format mirrorless camera which has inherited its operability, design and reliability as a mirrorless system from the original Nikon Z 7 and Nikon Z 6. Their characteristics are condensed and improved to come up with a lightweight, compact and durable body which provides users superior capabilities and powerful expression with each and every shot. This kit comes with the Nikon Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens. Read on for more detailed information.
Product Features in Detail
Compact and Lightweight
Despite Z 50's lightweight and compact body, it is also very user-friendly because it provides a grip that is secure and comfortable to hold, and all controls and operations buttons are positioned for right-handed operation.
EXPEED 6 Image-Processing Engine
This spectacular processing engine works with Nikon's DX-format CMOS sensor. This gives users still-image shooting- ISO 51200 the highest standard sensitivity in its class. Other special features include mid-range sharpening plus quick sharp for Picture Controls, the very same imaging options Z 7 and Z 6 owners enjoy.
CMOS Sensor
The Z 50's AF system allows the camera to focus better even in low light compared to any other DX-format mirrorless camera. Meanwhile, the auto-exposure and autofocus continue to function in high-speed continuous shooting at 11 fps. The hybrid AF system's algorithm optimizes the DX-format sensor and focuses by switching automatically between focal-plane phase-detection AF and contrast-detect AF.
Rich Variety of Lenses Available
Nikon’s Z mount system supports both the NIKKOR Z FX and NIKKOR Z DX formats. This means all NIKKOR lenses , including NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm F/4.5-6.3 VR and NIKKOR Z DX 16-5-mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lenses that were released at the same time, can also be used with the Z 50. Even the S-Line lenses which have proven outstanding optical performance can be utilized.
Intuitive Operation
The Nikon Z 50 is fully equipped with a 3.2-inch, 1040k-dot tilting TFT. This touch-sensitive LCD monitor can support touch operation just like that of a smartphone. It has a new function button for zooming in and out and another help function using the touch panel. The electronic viewfinder offers a natural view and also supports the same operations as a camera monitor. This lets users adjust various camera settings without taking their eyes off the viewfinder.
Self-Portrait Mode
The tilting monitor is adjustable for various angles, which makes selfies and video recording a breeze. Enabling the Self-Portrait mode will lock operational buttons and controls except for the shutter-release button to prevent accidental misoperation and give users a firm grip on the camera.
Spectacular Imaging Expression
The Nikon Z 50 supports the recording of the DX-format based full-frame 4K UHD films. This lets users enjoy sharper, high-quality videos. Furthermore, Creative Picture Controls enables unique imaging expression which can be applied with movie recording that will best suit one's creative intent or preference.
Supports SnapBridge App
The Z 50's compatibility with the SnapBridge app allows immediate sharing of still images and videos via social media.
With DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Standard Zoom Lens
This incredibly compact and lightweight lens measures approximately 32 mm*2 in length and weighs around 135 g. It can also support convenient zoom ranges beginning at 16mm and ending at 50 mm*3. This makes it the perfect choice for recording various scenes such as snapshots, landscapes, portraits and close-ups with a minimum focus distance of 0.2 m*4 for both movies and still images. The lens has an optical vibration reduction (VR) mechanism demonstrating an outstanding blur-reduction effect. It also has a camera shake compensation equivalent of a 4.5-stop*5 increase in its shutter speed.
