Nikon Z30 + Nikkor Z MC 50mm f2.8

Nikon Z30

Leave your smartphone behind and bring your vlogging ideas to life with premium image quality. The Z30 is compact, powerful, and super easy to use. It opens up creative spaces with more light, power and versatility.

From product unboxings and cooking recipes to travel and parkour, the Z 30 makes it easy to create vibrant, professional-looking vlogs with the clarity and depth expected by top vloggers and streamers. The camera's DX-format image sensor (which is much larger than a smartphone's image sensor) enables the kind of sharp, detailed movies that simply can't be achieved with a smartphone. Vloggers can record long takes of up to 125 minutes of uninterrupted footage. Full-time autofocus is available during recording. The Z 30 uses the full width of its sensor to provide a field of view of approximately 100%. Audio quality is excellent thanks to the camera's built-in stereo microphone or an external microphone.

The tilting and rotating touchscreen monitor makes it easy to film and shoot from different angles. The deep grip allows stable handheld shooting, even with an outstretched arm. Changing the look of a vlog is as easy as changing lenses. The Z 30 is packed with advanced automatic features for even more creative control. However vloggers envision their content evolving, the Z 30 gives them the space to bring their ideas to life.

Unmissable in 4K

From 4K UHD movies (30p) to time-lapse movies and smooth slow motion in Full HD (120p), the Z 30 uses the full width of its large sensor to offer a 100% field of view (approx.). Framing yourself and your subject is easy.

No need to stop

Space for up to 125 minutes of uninterrupted footage. That's plenty of room for long takes or continuous shooting. Thanks to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and the Nikon SnapBridge app, you can upload content from anywhere.

Crystal-clear, clear audio

Capture

your audio in premium quality with the sensitive built-in stereo microphone - or an external

mic.

The audio menu offers options for recording voices or ambient sounds like music and streets. There's also a wind noise filter.

Quality that inspires

At home, in the studio, or on the road. With the Z 30, record the liveliest vlogs in advance or stream them right away. Your photo feeds will wow your followers with detailed still images. This is your chance to pull content straight from the camera.

More light, more wow!

Thanks to the large Z bayonet, the DX-format sensor captures so much more light than a smartphone at 20.9 megapixels. Whether movies or photos, no smartphone can match that much detail. Indoors or outdoors, day or night.

Inspired by night

Movies and photos taken in low light look clear and professional. Shoot movies at up to ISO 25,600 and photos at up to ISO 51,200 (expandable). Just keep shooting into the night with the same fast, accurate autofocus you rely on during the day.

Intuitive creative controls

Low. High. Wide. The Z 30's 3-inch touchscreen monitor, with its uncluttered views and thoughtful controls, lets you capture any type of shot with ease. When shooting both vlogs and photos with the camera, you can save separate settings for movies and photos and switch between them as needed. No need to pause and reconfigure settings every time.

Ready for action

No matter what angle you're shooting from, the movie recording button on the top of the camera body is always right where you need it. A clear red frame around the monitor confirms you're in movie mode. A red light on the front confirms you're recording.

Customizable Controls

You have many ways to customize the controls and make adjustments. The immediately accessible i-Menu lets you assign your favorite menu options. You can assign frequently used settings to the Fn buttons - or to custom settings U1/U2/U3, which you can then access via the function dial.

Follow the eyes

Eye AF and Animal Detection AF modes, available for stills and movies, quickly capture the eyes of people, cats, and dogs. The camera keeps the subject's eyes in focus even when they turn away and look back.

Perfect Exposure

Shoot

confidently in all lighting conditions without having to learn complicated settings. In Auto mode, you can quickly and easily adjust the camera's exposure compensation so the subject or your face is always well lit.

Exciting photos

For stills, a high continuous shooting rate of 11fps is possible with full AF and AE (auto exposure) support. From the street to the skate park, Insta-perfect shots in the middle of the action.

Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f2.8

The NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 lens for mirrorless cameras ensures razor-sharp shots even when the distance between lens and subject is just a few inches. With life-size macro photography - that is, a magnification of 1 : 1 - you can capture amazing detail. And even with more distant subjects, from portraits to street photography, you benefit from the natural perspective of the classic 50mm normal focal length.
