Capture your iconic moments while sporting a unique vintage style with the Z fc Mirrorless Digital Camera from Nikon. The Z fc features a classic, tactile design fused with modern Z-series technology, and this DX-format mirrorless digital camera revolves around the highly-versatile Z mount. Equipped with a flip out vari-angle LCD screen, this compact 4K camera delivers outstanding image quality for photos and video.
20.9 MP DX CMOS sensor paired with EXPEED 6 processing engine provides high sensitivity, fast overall performance, and superb image quality. The mixture of resolution and sensor size also contributes to clean image quality and smooth colour transitions with reduced noise throughout the sensitivity range. In addition to benefitting image quality, the EXPEED 6 processor also affords a wealth of speed throughout the camera system.
Capable of recording more than just stills, the Z fc supports UHD 4K video recording and for composition a flip out vari-angle LCD is provided. Full-time AF with eye detection is also featured with a built-in stereo microphone, external microphone jack, live stream, and web conference capabilities.
Classic tactile design with analogue controls for shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. Intuitive functions also enable easy access to auto mode, quick settings, and the menu help guide.
Mobile Connectivity
Sends images to your phone via the free Nikon SnapBridge app and a compatible smart device.
