Nikon Zf Overview

By B&H Photo's
Nikon Zf Mirrorless Camera (Black)
Iconic Design Inspiring Elite Performance
The most powerful entry yet in Nikon's line of digital throwbacks, the full-frame, creator-inspired Zf Mirrorless Camera in black proves once again that good style never goes away. While the camera's body design retrieves the filmic, steel-feel functionalism of vintage SLRs, its insides are nonetheless outfitted with the latest in Z-series features and capabilities, turning the Zf's iconic silhouette into a modern and tactile shooter that uses its advanced tech to deliver timeless imagery.
Immersive and Intuitive Design
Recalling the FM2, Nikon's mechanical workhorse of yesteryear, the Zf's machined edges, knurled dials, and marbled texture are designed to fully immerse the user in the sensual experience of operating a beautiful machine. Made from precision-carved aluminum, the dials for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation feature engraved markings for superlative manual control. The mechanical shutter fires with an audible, authoritative click. A dedicated black-and-white mode with two monochrome recipes is available at the tip of a finger as well.

This intuitive, haptic-friendly design doesn't apply solely to the camera's retro-style controls. The camera's electronic viewfinder, which lies in a prism-shaped housing that is as pleasing to the bony orbit as it is to the eye, can now be manipulated by touching the 3.2", vari-angle rear LCD screen, allowing you to move focus points, select a subject to track, and toggle between display modes all while your eye remains resting against the viewfinder. The rear screen is also fully articulating and front-facing, allowing easy navigation and operation at high and low angles.

Other design features include:
  • Dual memory card slots offering flexible file storage capabilities; one SD and one microSD permit overflow, segregated, and repetitive saving options.
  • A robust magnesium alloy chassis is both dust and weather resistant, allowing you to work in harsh climates and inclement conditions.
  • Compatible with optional MC-N10 Remote Grip and AR-11 Soft Shutter Release.
Full-Frame Sensor, Full-Speed Processor
24.5MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor
A 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor is used for all-around shooting, impressive low-light image quality, and fast readout speeds to benefit continuous shooting, movies, and time-lapse recording. The back-illuminated design of the sensor also affords noticeably clean high-sensitivity output for reduced noise when working at high ISO values. Additionally, the Zf features a high-resolution photo mode that combines multiple exposures to create a single 96MP file.
EXPEED 7 Image Processor
  • Utilizing the same powerful processing engine used in the Z9 and Z8, the camera's EXPEED 7 Image processor works in conjunction with the sensor design to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling.
  • Enhanced with Deep Learning technology, the camera features an auto mode that analyzes your shooting situation and automatically adjusts aperture, ISO, and shutter speed to match your intentions. With this setting you can automatically capture portraits with beautiful background blur or keep all faces in focus for a group shot.
  • Extremely fast 30 fps burst rate with silent mechanical shutter and 14 fps burst rate with mechanical shutter.
  • Pre-release capture records up to 30 JPEGS a full second before shutter is released.
Advanced Video, Autofocus, and Stabilization
UHD 4K Recording and Versatile Video Control
  • New shutter-priority exposure mode lets you record with a fixed shutter speed, making smooth adjustments to ISO and aperture to maintain even brightness in your shot.
  • Matching the camera's high-end photo attributes, the Zf offers a variety of frame rates and resolutions for all your video needs. Oversampled from 6K, UHD 4K video recording is possible with full pixel readout up to 30p, and Full HD 1080p video recording is also supported up to 120p for slow motion playback.
  • Internal recording up to 125 minutes directly to a memory card with 10-bit H.265 in SDR/HLG/N-log tone modes.
Fast and Intelligent AF
  • Like the Z9 and Z8, the Zf's autofocus system recognizes a wide range of common subjects — people, cats, dogs, birds, bicycles, motorbikes, cars, aircraft, and trains — and uses Deep Learning technology to provide exactly the right focus and tracking for each.
  • Eye-Detection AF for photo and video automatically locks onto the eyes of people, pets, and birds, even when they're extremely small in the frame. For the first time, the feature is also available for manual focus lenses, automatically magnifying the area around the eyes so you can quickly confirm sharp focus.
Vibration Reduction
  • In-body 5-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction compensates for up to 8 stops of camera shake when paired with Z-mount lenses, letting you slow shutter speed an amazing 8.0 stops slower than would otherwise be possible without causing image blur. Additionally, this system also works with adapted F-mount lenses when using the optional FTZ Adapter, where 3-axis stabilization is used.
  • Focus point vibration reduction system applies stabilization to the area around the active focus point, wherever it is in the frame, providing precise correction right where you need it.
Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens

Covering a useful range of focal lengths, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S is a versatile zoom, spanning wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture maintains a consistent exposure throughout the zoom range and also helps to realize a more compact and lightweight alternative to an f/2.8 zoom. In regard to the optical design, a unique aspherical extra-low dispersion element, in addition to three aspherical elements, is used to help reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range in order to achieve high image sharpness and clarity. Both Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings have also been applied to control flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color rendering in bright and backlit conditions.

Complementing the optics, a stepping motor provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override to suit both stills and video applications. A programmable control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and exposure settings. Additionally, the lens has a button-less retractable barrel to realize a more compact form factor when not in use.

Standard zoom covers a wide-angle to portrait-length range and is designed for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras.
Constant f/4 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also contributes to the relatively lightweight design and compact form factor.
A unique aspherical extra-low dispersion element is incorporated into the optical design, along with three additional aspherical elements, to greatly reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations, distortion, coma (comatic aberration), and flare for consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.
A Nano Crystal Coat, along with a Super Integrated Coating, has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting.
Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
Exposed elements feature a fluorine coating that affords protection to the optical system against dust, grease, and water droplets.
Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions.
Button-less retractable design maintains a compact form factor when the lens is not in use.

Would you please describe the manual focus capacities?
Asked by: Bradley
Manual focusing of the 24-70mm f4 S lens is done by wire. This means as you rotate the focus ring, a motor electronically moves the elements to change the focus. This is different than using a Nikon SLR lens which was a mechanical focus instead of electronic. The Nikon ZF camera has manual focusing aids such as focus peaking and viewfinder magnification.
