Leveraging its full potential, you will also be able to fully optimise the in-built optical Vibration Reduction (VR) with lenses such as the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR for high image quality.
Moreover, the camera offers more than just everyday casual filming with its 4K UHD capabilities utilising the full DX-based image sensor width and slow-motion movie setting with a range of image dimensions and frame rate.
The Z fc allows users to capture every inch and detail of the moment with its touch-operational 7.6cm (3-inch) vari-angle TFT LCD display, and AF-F (full-time AF) that tracks subjects even when taking self-portraits. Explore different angles express yourself in both stills and movies with confidence. You don't have to adjust anything as the monitor automatically switches to self-portrait mode when you turn it to the front. Additionally, when switched on, the camera supports USB power delivery and USB charging.
