Introducing the Z 50, a compact, lightweight, and powerful mirrorless camera. Inheriting the proud DNA of the Z series, this camera features a large inner diameter of 55mm and a short flange focal distance of 16mm – delivering incredibly vibrant images and three-dimensionality without the little imperfections. Capture spontaneous life moments with the intuitively-designed and comfortable camera body that feels like an extension of your hand. It is almost as nimble and compact in size as your passport – though not as thin!
Capture your passion with 20.88 million effective megapixels and the EXPEED 6 image-processing engine. Adopting the same hybrid autofocus (AF) system as the Z 7 and the Z 6, the Z 50 comes equipped with one of the first Nikon CMOS sensors that incorporates phase-detection AF. With 2091 AF points covering approximately 87% horizontally and approximately 85% vertically of the frame, easily capture moving objects, even at the periphery. For portrait shots where the clarity of the eyes matter, eye-detection AF is available and allows an intuitive selection of the intended eye focus, even when multiple people are within the frame.
Whether you’re in a low-light environment, or on a night out, an ISO sensitivity of 51200 for stills, and 25600 for videos will ensure your images come out well lit. Express yourself even further with Creative Picture Control, a mode that offers 20 different creative options to make your stills and films more dynamic. Pair the Z 50 with the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR or NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR to effectively reduce camera shake as both lenses come with dual detect optical vibration reduction which means every image will be sharper than ever.
