Nikon Zfc housing

Our tradition. Your creativity.

The Z fc combines classic Nikon camera design with innovative Z-series technology - for outstanding image quality and pure, unadulterated style. Whatever you shoot: Photos, videos, or vlogs. With the lightweight DX-format mirrorless camera, you can take creativity to a whole new level and create truly legendary images.

Now it's your turn

Capture legendary moments with a camera whose aesthetics will inspire you. The Z fc mirrorless camera was inspired by the acclaimed SLR Nikon FM2 from the early 80s, and features authentic design details that have been lovingly recreated: from the dials to the round viewfinder to the classic Nikon logo on the viewfinder box.

Legendary genes

The black, textured body. The fine grain in the silvery metal of the body. The Z fc mirrorless camera has character - just like the Nikon SLRs from the age of analog photography had. And the Special Edition NIKKOR Z lens adds to that character. Design details from times past. With the creative performance of today.

Operates like an analog Nikon camera.

The dials are arranged like those on the Nikon FM2 and crafted from solid aluminum. The mechanics work with incredible precision. You can feel the click. If you've worked with Nikon SLR cameras before, your muscle memory will take over immediately. And even if you haven't, you'll love the feel of these dials.

Real dials

The dials let you set shutter speed, exposure compensation, and ISO sensitivity without having to go to the camera menu. You can also configure the camera to use the dials for exposure time or exposure compensation.

Upper display

Want to shoot portraits with a shallow depth of field or street scenes with a small focal length and maximum depth of field? The small display shows the aperture number for the shot.

Circular electronic viewfinder

The Z fc has a high-resolution electronic viewfinder, but the eyepiece is round - like the optical viewfinder on the Nikon FM2. The viewfinder displays the subject with great clarity and is automatically activated when you bring the camera to your eye.

For today's demands

The Z fc looks like it came straight out of the 80s. The durable magnesium alloy body meets the demands of today. The case is robust in every respect, yet lightweight, making it an ideal companion. Slung over your shoulder, it will earn you admiring glances from passers-by.

Tangible quality

The construction of the Z fc is based on magnesium alloy, which is also used in Nikon professional cameras. This camera has an optimal balance of durability and light weight, so it's ideal companion in any place your inspiration takes you.

Admirable performance

With the revolutionary Nikon Z bayonet - the centerpiece of its design - the Z fc captures legendary moments in breathtaking quality. Thanks to the large-diameter Z bayonet, the 20.9-megapixel DX-format sensor can capture more light. And more light benefits sharpness, contrast, focusing speed, and low-light imaging performance.

Legendary moments with lifelike detail

The Z fc doesn't just look like a legend. Thanks to its high-resolution sensor and wide ISO latitude of 100 to 51,200 on automatic ISO, this camera delivers outstanding sharpness, detail and clarity day and night. The smooth and fast autofocus system keeps pace even at frame rates up to 11 fps. So you'll always catch the right moment, even in the fastest action.

For any light

The Z fc captures legendary moments even when the lighting isn't perfect. Thanks to wide ISO latitude and "low-light autofocus," you can keep shooting when the sun goes down.

Filters and effects

The 20 in-camera Creative Picture Controls for photos and movies are displayed in real time as you shoot. You can adjust the intensity to suit your creative ideas.

Friends and family

Shooting portraits? Eye AF detects your subjects' eyes - people, cats, and dogs alike - and keeps them in focus even when you're moving.

Tell your stories

How will you capture legendary moments? Shooting movies was not yet an option for the Nikon FM2 not yet an option. Yet it pushed boundaries when it first appeared - with shorter shutter speeds than ever before. The Z fc creates stunning movie shots and is also the first Nikon Z camera with a tilt and swivel monitor. Experience a whole new range of framing possibilities - whether shooting freehand or working with a tripod.

Fantastic movies

You can shoot movies in 4K/UHD at 30p or turn ordinary moments into legendary ones with slow motion at Full HD. You can also shoot stills while you film and create impressive 4K time-lapse sequences right in the camera.

Fascinating viewing angles

The high-resolution, tilt-and-rotate touchscreen monitor lets you shoot from any angle you want. When you rotate the monitor forward, the camera automatically switches to self-portrait mode. Ideal for movie recording and selfies.

Vivid vlogs

Great content should look great, too. With the Z fc, you can achieve incredible sharpness and stunning depth. Use the camera for interviews. Or turn the tilt-and-rotate monitor toward you to create perfect framing shots.
