Meet the Z series mirrorless camera for the rest of us. Tough. Insanely small. Dead simple to use. Connected to your phone. Ready to transform you into a pro-caliber creator. Your followers won’t know what hit ’em.
OPEN YOUR MIND. SEE THE LIGHT. BROADEN YOUR VIEW. GO ALL THE WAY & BEYOND.
A bigger mount. What a bright idea.
TheZ 50is designed around Nikon’s revolutionary Z mount, the widest lens mount of any comparable camera system. A wider mount means more light, and more light means more of everything good—sharpness, contrast, focusing speed, low light performance and image quality.
Shines in low light.
With the 20.9MP DX CMOS sensor, a robust EXPEED 6 engine and the light-gathering advantages of the wider Z mount, photos and videos shot in low light look clean and professional.
See for your selfie.
Flip down the LCD screen to activate Self Portrait Mode—perfect for taking selfies and for vlogging.
Tell your story. Your way.
With incredible video specs like 4K Ultra HD and time-lapse, in-camera editing, 1080p slow-motion and so much more, you’ll love creating and sharing your next show-stopper with theZ 50.
Your i-menu. Your way.
New inspiration often strikes when you’re in the middle of shooting. TheZ 50’sconvenient i button gives you a powerful shortcut to adjust camera settings on the fly. The i menu is fully customizable, letting you choose your 12 most frequently used settings and arrange the order for convenience. You can view the i menu items on the LCD monitor or the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). You can quickly change these while confirming the results in real time—all without taking your eyes off your subject.
Edit videos on the fly.
Shoot a clip, trim it right in the camera, send it to your phone and post it without missing a beat.1
Like two cameras in one.
When shooting video, you often want to use different camera settings than those you need for stills. TheZ 50lets you separately save the most appropriate settings for each shooting mode and then change smoothly between them with the flick of a lever.
Life’s more fun in slow motion.
Turn an ordinary moment into an epic 120 FPS slow motion 1080p Full HD video, great for bending time, speed ramping and more.
Quick and nimble.
Capture 11 frames per second* continuously with full quality or up to a blazing fast 30 FPS with 8-megapixel stills in silent video mode.
*When using a mechanical shutter, in continuous H (extended) release mode and NEF (12-bit RAW) + JPEG image quality.
