Clarity. No matter how you frame it.
Photos and 4K videos with perfect focus are at your disposal. The advanced hybrid AF (autofocus) system is fast, accurate, and extremely smooth. The AF points on the sensor cover approximately 90% of the frame horizontally and vertically for top-edge sharpness from edge to edge. Focusing on subjects happens instantly whether they are in the center, at the edge, or moving.
Superb performance after sunset
Take photos freely day and night, thanks to the automatic light sensitivity range of 100–51200 ISO and low-light AF. From urban landscapes in the midnight hours to low-light portraits, capture more details than ever in the dark
Friendly with people and animals
Capture even better spontaneous portraits of other people, as well as your dog or cat. The Eye Detection AF function locks onto the eyes for perfect human portraits. The Animal Detection AF function does the same for dogs and cats. The focus remains sharp even if your subject is moving.
Silent Operation
The Nikon Z 50 camera focuses silently and features a silent photography mode. The friend who asks you to bring your camera to their wedding knows that you will discreetly capture those unique moments.
Timing is everything
If you can see it – you can capture it. Continuous shooting at up to 11 frames per second (fps) with autofocus and auto exposure allows you to capture scenes that many others miss.
Your own videos
Your cinematic aspirations come true with the Nikon Z 50. You can record 4K/UHD video at 30p and capture slow-motion footage in Full HD. Without the limitations of the crop factor, you can take advantage of the full range of the camera's large DX-format sensor. You can also take photos while recording video and create stunning 4K time-lapse videos with the camera's built-in function.
See Clearly
The exceptional clarity of the electronic viewfinder (EVF) allows you to see everything clearly, whether you are taking photos or videos. The electronic viewfinder displays a natural image, similar to the optical viewfinders of DSLRs. At the same time, you can see your images as they will be after applying the settings you want. The display remains smooth and stable, even when you magnify it to ensure you have focused.
Everywhere you go
The Nikon Z 50 is ready to capture every moment that impresses you and also features a pop-up flash for additional lighting. With its lightweight body, you can take it with you everywhere, and it includes a strong magnesium alloy on the top and front.
Your Angle
The large high-resolution LCD screen has touch controls similar to those of smartphones and can tilt up or down. Whether you're shooting video or selfies, your angles are better than ever.
Your Style
There are 20 creative effects within the camera for photos and videos, and you can add your own touch to each of them. Simply adjust the intensity during the preview of the effect to achieve results that are uniquely yours.
Made to be held
Once you feel your fingers gripping the deep handle of this camera and start shooting, you won't want to part with it. With buttons and touch controls carefully placed, operation is effortless and the simple and clear DSLR-style menu is learned in no time. Whether you are new to Nikon in general, or just to Nikon's mirrorless system, familiarity is achieved very easily.
