More detail. Better sound. From product unboxing to tutorials, reviews to recipes, music to cooking, and travel to parkour... no matter what your playground, your professional-quality videos will delight your subscribers. With the Z30, your movies are as sharp, deep, and sonic as the best vloggers and streamers.
Be a must-have in 4K
From 4K UHD video (30p) to time-lapse to smooth slow-motion Full HD (120p), the Z 30 uses the full width of its large sensor to give you a near 100% field of view. Framing, whether of yourself or a subject, is simple.
Why stop?
With up to 125 minutes of uninterrupted video footage⁵ you have enough room for long or continuous shooting. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with Nikon's SnapBridge app, make it easy to transfer content wherever you are.
Crisp, clear sound
Capture high-quality audio via the sensitive built-in stereo microphone or an external microphone. The audio menu offers options for recording your voice or ambient sound, such as music and city noises. There's also a wind noise reduction feature.
Go for quality that rocks
At home, in the studio, or on the road. The Z 30's imaging power will let you pre-record or stream the most dynamic vlogs you've ever made, while keeping your photos interesting with rich, detailed shots. It's an opportunity to deliver content straight from the camera.
More light, more impact.
The extra-wide Z-mount allows the camera's large 20.9 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor to capture more light than a smartphone. Whether you're shooting video or stills, no other smartphone offers such rich detail. Indoors or outdoors, day or night.
Nighttime inspiration
Videos and photos taken in low-light conditions are crisp and professional-looking. Use a maximum sensitivity of ISO 25,600 for video and ISO 51,200 (expandable) for stills. Shoot at night with the same fast, accurate focus as during the day.
Intuitive control of the creation
Low angle. Low angle. Wide angle... The Z 30's 7.5 cm (3") swivel touchscreen monitor, sleek displays, and thoughtful controls make it easy to take any shot. If you're recording vlogs and shooting stills, you can save separate settings for video and stills, and switch between them as needed. No need to stop and reconfigure your settings each time.
Comfort and stability
The Z30 fits perfectly in your hand. An engineering feat on such a small camera, the large grip allows for stable handheld shooting, even at arm's length. Plus, Nikon's Electronic Vibration Reduction (e-VR) keeps video footage sharp and stable.
Designed for handheld video shooting
If you turn the swivel monitor forward, the camera instantly activates self-portrait mode and clears the screen for a clear view. You can use the conveniently positioned recording control to take shots or record video.
Ready for action
No matter what angle you shoot from, the video recording control on top of the camera body is always in the right place. A prominent red border around the screen confirms that you're in video mode. A red light on the front confirms that you are recording.
Customizable controls
There are many ways to customize the controls and adjust the settings. You can assign favorite menu items to the instantly accessible i-Menu and save frequently used settings to the camera's Fn controls or to the U1, U2 and U3 positions on the mode dial.
Dare!
Tough lighting. Stealth action. A quiet place. Whether you're shooting video or stills, the Z 30 has advanced automatic features that make it easy to control your creativity. You can also use Silent Mode to shoot discreetly. From compositions you know how to make to those you haven't tried yet, get the results you want without stressing.
Secure focus
Want to capture the action or shoot yourself in the middle of a rush? Movie AF mode uses continuous AF to simplify focusing. The camera locks onto your subject, no matter what they do or how often you change composition on the fly.
Catch the eye
Whether you're shooting video or stills, Eye Detection AF and Pet Detection AF modes quickly focus on the eye. The camera stays focused on your subject's gaze, even when they turn away and turn around.
Perfect exposure
Shoot with confidence in all lighting situations without having to learn complicated settings. When shooting in Auto mode, you can quickly and easily adjust the camera's exposure compensation so your subject or face is always well lit.
Exciting photos
For stills, a fast, continuous shooting rate of 11 fps with optimal AF/AE performance lets you create shots that stand out. From street scenes to the skatepark, your Insta shots are right in the middle of the action.
Create like a pro
The Z 30 is compatible with a wide range of high-performance interchangeable lenses and all the accessories you need to create content you and your subscribers will love. Publish your creations and grow your gear as your practice grows.
Lenses to suit you
Whether you're shooting in a small space or on location, there's always a Nikon lens to suit. Choose from all NIKKOR Z-mount lenses and Nikon DSLR F-mount lenses mounted on Nikon's optional FTZ II mount adapter.
Easily adapt your setup
Got a favorite microphone? The Z 30 is compatible with popular third-party vlogging accessories as well as a wide range of Nikon accessories. Whether you want to keep your setup simple or more sophisticated, the choice is yours.
Use your camera handheld or hands-free
Shooting in the distance? Filming yourself? You can use the Nikon ML-L7 remote control with the Z 30. You can also attach the remote to a SmallRig tripod grip for comfortable camera control.
Adjust, shoot, create
If you like to play with filters, the Z 30 adapts to your current inspiration to create right from the camera. You've got 20 Creative Picture Controls for photos and videos, all customizable and visible in real time as you shoot.
Give your smartphone something to do
Since you don't use your phone to create vlogs anymore, Nikon's SnapBridge app will keep it busy. Wirelessly transfer 4K video and photos with hashtags directly to your phone for easy sharing. Or use SnapBridge to control the camera remotely.
Wire and upload
With a universal USB Type-C cable (included), you can power the Z 30 to stream live vlogs and charge your camera's battery at the same time! For the sharpest, most remarkable videos, use a NIKKOR Z lens and connect the Z 30 to a computer via Nikon Webcam Utility.
