Nikon Z9 Full Frame Mirrorless Camera in Detail

Best in class AF and tracking performance

The 493-point AF system includes 405 auto-area AF points – five times more than the Z 7 II – while 10 AFarea modes let users optimise their AF setup for any job. Deep-learning AI, meanwhile, powers the most advanced, simultaneous detection of up to nine different subject types. This combines with 3D tracking – a first for Nikon’s mirrorless camera range – to help capture every key moment. From people and their features to animals and vehicles; the Z 9 understands what is being photographed and reacts instantly to changes in subject position, orientation, or velocity.

Game-changing video capabilities.

The Z 9’s incredible imaging power lets users record exquisite full-frame 8K 24p to 60p and 4K 24p to 120p video and time-lapse movies in-camera. 8K video footage at 30p can be recorded for approximately 125 minutes at a time, the longest duration amongst mirrorless camerasi. Furthermore, compatibility with the ProRes 422 HQ recording formatii which reliably meets the wide range of demands of video production. And an upcoming firmware update will enable the recording of RAW 8K video in ultra-smooth 60piii. Full AF/AE and Eye-Detection AF support filming, as Nikon’s new N-RAW format keeps file sizes manageable.

Powerful speed.

Capture more than 1,000 frames in full-resolution RAW at 20fps in one burst. It is also possible to shoot up to 120fps at approximately 11 MP in JPEG normal image quality with full AF/AE capability in the new C+ mode. The world’s fastest scan ratevi virtually does away with rolling-shutter distortion, to such an extent that the mechanical shutter has been removed. Shutter speeds of 1/32000 combine with the camera’s ability to shoot at ISO 64 to deliver incredible depth of field, even in extreme bright-light conditions.

Constant visibility, in real-time.

The Z 9 features the brightest (3000-nit) electronic viewfinder display, with dual-stream technology that ensures always-live, black-out free shooting, so that photographers never miss a moment. The Z 9’s display provides a genuinely continuous real-time view, meaning if a subject moves or there’s the slightest change in the scene being photographed, the user will see it.

Ergonomics and robustness.

In another first for Nikon, the Z 9 is equipped with a 4-axis vertical and horizontal tilting monitor, allowing photographers to adapt to the moment with fast, flexible framing. Every inch the professional’s tool, the camera’s ergonomics, such as the button layout, have been refined and improved based on input by professional photographers. Its robustness, meanwhile, goes beyond the D6, ensuring users can capture everything even under harsh conditions. A new AF mode button lets users switch AF mode and AF area mode during viewfinder shooting, while the top and rear LCD control panels and key buttons illuminate with a flick of the power switch to easily change settings in the dark.

Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S Lens

The Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S joins Nikon’s mirrorless S-Line which are comprised of the most optically refined lenses available for the Z-mount system. This classic ultra wide-angle focal width zoom is the final lens to complete the essential ‘trinity’ for Nikon’s mirrorless system offering,  together with the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S and Nikkor Z 70-200mm VR S lens. Covering all of the major focal distances with the fastest aperture possible allow pros and enthusiasts to gain the best advantage with these three models.. The lens lends itself perfectly to both stills and video shooting, with minimal focus breathing or shift and a smooth, silent autofocus motor. Unlike many ultra wide-angle zooms, the Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S has an almost completely flat front element, allowing regular lens filters including the new 112mm Neutral Colour Filter lens protector and the 112mm Circular Polarising Filter II.

Designed for professionals the Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S is currently the world’s shortest ultra-wide f/2.8 zoom of this kind, ideal for landscape photography, architecture and night photography. Optics have been employed for corner to corner sharpness, even when wide open and light fall off is extremely well controlled. As expected on a lens of this quality Nikon has used Nano Crystal and ARNEO Coatings to reduce ghost and flare considerably, ideal for subjects for which this lens is intended. Despite the 16 elements in 11 groups (including 4 ED elements and 3 aspherical elements), the lens only weighs 650g. and delivers advanced S-Line quality with consistently high quality results. Extensive weather sealing has been employed throughout to ensure this lens will function in extreme conditions as required by enthusiasts and working professionals out in the field.
