Built for Professional-Quality Results
The Nikon Z fc model captures captivating content, even in low-light conditions. The 20.9MP DX CMOS sensor is coupled with the EXPEED 6 engine to maintain clarity for both still and action media. The wider Z mount assists these features by letting in more light. And more light means enhanced contrast and sharpness, along with more accurate focus. Speaking of focus, the Nikon Z fc model easily tracks the desired target using advanced Eye-Detection AF technology. Once the subject is found, whether human or animal, the camera locks onto them and keeps them in focus wherever they are in frame. To top it off, ISO sensitivity reaches up to ISO 51,200 and is expandable up to ISO 204,800. The result? Unparalleled detail during post-sunset photo shoots.

Record crisp 4K Ultra HD video with the Nikon Z fc digital camera. Choose between NIKKOR Z lenses to maximize resolution and add depth for more lifelike media. Looking to create professional-quality vlog content? The Vari-angle display simplifies first-person recording with its ability to face forward, which automatically turns on self-portrait mode. And the built-in stereo mic removes the need for a third-party one. Keep an eye on audio levels, monitor the clipping indicator and make gain adjustments as you film to ensure you get the ideal results. Additional questions about the Nikon Z fc model?

Monitor your audio levels on-screen, including a clipping indicator, and make gain adjustments in real-time. - Image Transfers. Wireless And Automatic.
Pair your smart device to the Z fc from the SnapBridge app once, and your phone and camera are always connected. You can transfer videos and stills manually or set the app to automatically import every still you take, then edit and post your work with your favorite phone apps. - Grab The Remote.
When you can’t be behind the camera, pull out your compatible smartphone and use it to control the Z fc. See what the camera sees, change camera settings like aperture and shutter speed, then take the video or still. - Always Up To Date.
