Vintage And Powerful

With a retro body that features a tactile design and dials, the camera feels like an original and timeless piece of technology. Nikon has packed the Z fc with must-have specs for the modern creator, including webcam capabilities for streaming live.

The unit is built for on-the-go content creators, thanks to the connectivity with the Nikon SnapBridge app, allowing you to instantly send shots to your phone.

Added vlogger-friendly features such as impressive 4K UHD, a flip-out LCD screen, and built-in audio options (plus an additional microphone jack) make it a natural gear addition for a streamer or video enthusiast.

Eye autofocus captures both humans and animals and allows for precision in still plus video. Take advantage of the USB-C power delivery to shoot longer and expand your time on set.

The Nikon Z fc also includes in-camera timelapse, easy access to controls and menu settings, and compatibility with the full suite of Z lenses and F lenses (with the adapter).

Given the camera’s compatibility with Nikon lenses, the company has also added two new pieces of glass to its collection. The first — the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens — is available in a kit alongside the Z fc camera.

Nikon notes the 15-50mm f/3.5-6.3 lens is its smallest DX lens to date. With a compact build and the versatile zoom range, it can capture street photography, landscapes, portraits, and more. The lens includes 4.5 stop of built-in VR image stabilization, fast autofocus abilities, and extra-low dispersion and aspherical glass.

The second of Nikon’s latest lenses is the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) lens — a bright and fast full-frame prime, also available as a kit with the Z fc. The lens is a 42mm equivalent on DX format cameras and allows for extra close shots thanks to its 0.63-foot minimum focusing distance.

Enjoy the silent dual stepping motors and quick autofocus, as well as the small and compact size which will allow for easy travel and fast captures.
