Our heritage. Your creativity.
The Nikon Z fc combines the classic design of the brand's cameras and innovative Z-series technology to produce exceptional image quality, while sporting a simple and clean style. It lends itself to all conditions and all types of shots, from photos to videos to vlogs. Take your creativity into the future and create iconic images with this DX-format mild mirrorless camera.
Capture legendary moments with a camera that connects you to the aesthetic you've always loved. Inspired by the famous Nikon FM2 film SLR from the early 1980s, the Z fc mirrorless camera sports authentic design details that have been meticulously recreated: from the adjustment dials and round viewfinder to the classic Nikon logo etched on the pentaprism. .
Mythical, from generation to generation
The black textured case. The subtle grain of the silver metal frame. The Z fc mirrorless camera displays as much character as the Nikon film SLRs of yesteryear, as does its special edition NIKKOR Z lens. This device takes some design details from the day and combines them with the powerful creative technologies of today.
The heavy-duty aluminum adjustment dials are arranged as they were on the Nikon FM2. The mechanism works with incredible precision: you will feel the trigger. If you've used a Nikon SLR before, your muscle memory will take over. If this is your first time, you'll love the 'tactile' side of the dials.
Protruding adjustment knobs
Individual dials let you adjust shutter speed, exposure compensation, and sensitivity without accessing the camera menu. You can also configure the camera so that you can adjust shutter speed or exposure compensation using the command dials.
Upper screen
Do you want to shoot portraits with a shallow depth of field or shoot large street scenes that are crisp in all directions? Check the aperture at a glance on this small screen, which shows the aperture value used.
Round electronic viewfinder
The Z fc's high-definition viewfinder is electronic, but its design is circular, just like the optical viewfinder on the Nikon FM2. It activates when you bring the camera up to your eyes and allows you to see everything clearly.
A design in tune with the times
Don't be fooled by its 1980s look: the Z fc's rugged magnesium alloy chassis proves that this mirrorless camera is firmly established. Resolutely solid, the case is no less light and easy to transport. Hang it over your shoulder and prepare to receive admiring glances from passers-by.
Palpable quality
The structure of the Z fc is made of magnesium alloy, the material used for professional Nikon cameras. Striking an optimal balance of strength and lightness, this camera is designed to go with you wherever inspiration takes you.
Based on Nikon's revolutionary Z mount, the Z fc mirrorless camera can capture your iconic moments in exceptional quality. Thanks to the Z mount, the large 20.9 megapixel DX-format sensor captures more light. This gain in brightness translates into better quality in all areas: sharpness, contrast, speed of focus and performance in low light conditions.
Mythical moments reproduced in great detail
The mythical status of the Z fc is not based only on its aesthetics. Thanks to its high-definition sensor and its wide sensitivity range of 100 to 51,200 ISO, with automatic adjustment, this camera offers exceptional sharpness, clarity and detail, day or night. The fast and smooth autofocus system lets you shoot at up to 11 frames per second. You will never miss any scene, even the most fleeting.
Exceptional results in all lighting conditions
Mythical moments don't always come in the perfect light, but that's no problem with the Z fc. With its wide sensitivity range and low light AF, you can keep shooting when the sun goes down.
Filters and Effects
The Z fc features 20 Creative Picture Controls for photos and videos, all visible in real time while shooting. You just have to adjust their intensity according to the desired result.
Family and friendly circle
Do you shoot portraits? Eye-detection AF quickly locates the eyes of your subjects (whether they are people or pets) and maintains focus perfectly, even when moving.
How will you immortalize your mythical moments? Video was not available on the Nikon FM2, but this SLR still broke barriers when it was launched, delivering the fastest shutter speeds of its time. The Z fc produces stunning video footage and is also the first Nikon Z camera to feature a tiltable monitor. Explore never-before-seen framing, whether hand-held or with a tripod.
Masterful videos
You can record 4K / UHD videos at 30p, or turn ordinary moments into epic scenes by shooting slow motion in Full HD. You can also take photos while filming and create spectacular 4K time-lapse footage, right from the camera.
Fascinating angles
The swiveling, high-definition touchscreen monitor makes it easy to shoot at any angle you want. Rotate the monitor forward to automatically engage self portrait mode. Great for creating videos where you are the subject or taking selfies.
Dynamic vlogs
Great content deserves good image quality. With the Z fc, you get incredible sharpness and a flattering depth of field. Perform interviews or turn the tiltable monitor towards you to address the camera directly.
Become a streaming pro
Stream live content of unique quality. Use the Z fc and the free Nikon Webcam Utility to showcase the best version of yourself.
Easily share your creations
You only need to log in to the Z fc once from the SnapBridge app. You can then manually or automatically upload photos and videos for easy sharing or backing up.
Charging via USB
You can charge (camera off) or power your Nikon Z fc via USB⁶. This feature comes in handy for taking photos for extended periods indoors or recording a time-lapse.
