The Nikon Z fc combines the classic design of Nikon cameras with innovative Z-series technology to produce outstanding image quality, while sporting a simple, sleek style. It lends itself to all conditions and all types of shooting, from photos to videos to vlogs. Propel your creativity into the future and create iconic images with this lightweight DX format hybrid camera.

Your turn has come

Capture iconic moments with a camera that connects you to the aesthetic you've always loved. Inspired by the iconic Nikon FM2 film SLR of the early 1980s, the Z fc hybrid camera features authentic design details that have been meticulously recreated - from the adjustment dials to the round viewfinder to the classic Nikon logo etched into the pentaprism.

Mythical, from generation to generation

The black textured body. The subtle grain of the silver metal frame. The Z fc hybrid camera has as much character as the Nikon film SLRs of the past, as does its special edition NIKKOR Z lens. This camera takes some of the design details of the era and combines them with the powerful creative technologies of today.

NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR silver

Silver edition of the 16-50mm DX-format wide-angle zoom. This ultra-compact lens features the same silver color as the Z fc, for a look that will go anywhere.

Get the feel of a Nikon film camera

The durable aluminum adjustment knobs are arranged just as they were on the Nikon FM2. The mechanism works with incredible precision: you'll feel the shutter release. If you've used a Nikon SLR before, your muscle memory will take over. If it's your first time, you'll love the "tactile" feel of the dials.

Prominent adjustment dials

Individual dials let you adjust shutter speed, exposure compensation and sensitivity without accessing the camera menu. You can also set up the camera to adjust shutter speed or exposure compensation using the control dials.

Top screen

Do you want to shoot portraits with a shallow depth of field or large street scenes that are sharp in every shot? Check the aperture at a glance on this small display, 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 Nikon FM2's optical viewfinder. It activates when you bring the camera up to your eyes and allows you to see everything clearly.

A design in the air of time

Don't let the 1980s look fool you-the Z fc's sturdy magnesium alloy chassis proves that this hybrid camera is firmly rooted in the times. The body is solid, yet lightweight and easy to carry. Hang it over your shoulder and prepare to receive admiring glances from passersby.

Palpable quality

The Z fc is constructed of magnesium alloy, the material used in Nikon's professional cameras. With an optimal balance of strength and lightness, this camera is designed to take you wherever inspiration takes you.

Seductive performance

Based on Nikon's revolutionary Z-mount, the Z fc hybrid camera can capture your mythical moments with exceptional quality. Thanks to the Z-mount, the large 20.9 megapixel DX-format sensor captures more light. The result is better quality in all areas: sharpness, contrast, focus speed, and low-light performance.

Mythical moments captured in great detail

The Z fc's legendary status is not just about its looks. With its high-definition sensor and wide ISO range of 100-51,200, with automatic adjustment, this camera delivers exceptional sharpness, clarity and detail, day or night. The fast, fluid autofocus system lets you shoot at up to 11 frames per second. You'll never miss a scene, even the most fleeting ones.

Outstanding results in all lighting conditions

Mythical moments don't always happen in perfect light, but that's not a 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 movies, all visible in real time during shooting. Just adjust their intensity to suit your desired result.

Family and friends

Shooting portraits? Eye Detection AF quickly finds the eyes of your subjects (whether people or pets) and keeps them in perfect focus, even if they move.

Tell your stories your way

How will you capture your mythical moments? Video wasn't available on the Nikon FM2, but this SLR still broke barriers at its launch, offering 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 steerable monitor. Explore never-before-seen framing, whether handheld or with a tripod.

Masterful video

You can record 4K/UHD video at 30p, or turn ordinary moments into epic scenes by shooting in slow motion in Full HD. You can also shoot stills while filming and create spectacular 4K time-lapse footage right from the camera.

Fascinating angles

The high-definition swivel touch monitor makes it easy to shoot from any angle you want. Rotate the monitor forward to automatically engage self-portrait mode. Ideal for creating videos where you are the subject or taking selfies.

Dynamic vlogs

Great content deserves great image quality. With the Z fc, you get incredible sharpness and flattering depth of field. Conduct interviews or turn the swivel monitor towards you to address the camera directly.

Become a streaming pro

Stream live content of unparalleled quality. Use the Z fc and the free Nikon Webcam Utility to present the best version of yourself.

Easily share your creations

You only need to connect to the Z fc once from the SnapBridge app. You can then manually or automatically transfer photos and videos for easy sharing or backup.

Charging via USB

You can charge (camera off) or power your Nikon Z fc via USB. This feature comes in handy when you're shooting indoors for a long time or recording a time-lapse.
