Overview

Z 50
Tiny has never been a bigger deal.

Meet the Z series mirrorless camera for the rest of us. Insanely small. Tough. Dead simple to use. Connected to your phone. Ready to transform you into a pro-caliber creator. Your followers won’t know what hit ’em.

 

Creativity comes full circle.

A bigger mount. What a bright idea.

Z 50 is designed around Nikon’s revolutionary Z mount, the widest lens mount of any comparable camera system. A wider mount means more light, and more light means more of everything good—sharpness, contrast, focusing speed, low light performance and image quality.

It’s your story. Tell it beautifully.

4K Ultra HD and time-lapse, 1080p slow-motion, filters, effects and so much more.

Edit videos on the fly. 

Shoot a clip, trim it right in the camera, send it to your phone and post it without missing a beat.1

Life’s more fun in slow motion.

Turn an ordinary moment into an epic 120 FPS slow motion 1080p Full HD video, great for bending time, speed ramping and more.

Little but fierce
Slim, sleek, rugged design for every adventure.

The power of Z, only smaller.

Z 50 delivers the award-winning performance of Z series in the smallest interchangeable lens DX-format camera ever.2

Have camera, will travel.

Z 50’s strong, durable magnesium alloy construction makes it tough enough to take just about anywhere without fear. No need to baby this baby.

Your ’gram is going to❤️ it.
From camera to your followers in a snap.

Works with your smartphone.

Built-in Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth make sharing a snap. Install Nikon’s SnapBridge app, and your Apple® or Android™-powered phone becomes a powerful accessory for Z 50. Easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to your phone, and even use your phone as a remote monitor to to see what Z 50 sees, adjust camera settings, take pictures and record video.

Shines in low light.

With a 20.9MP DX CMOS sensor, a robust EXPEED 6 engine and the light-gathering advantages of the wider Z mount, photos and videos shot in low light look clean and professional.

See for your selfie.

Flip down the LCD screen to activate Self Portrait Mode—perfect for taking selfies and for vlogging.

Eye catching in so many ways.

When shooting photos, Z 50’s outstanding autofocus system can lock onto your subject’s eye and keep focus there, even when they’re in motion, for beautifully focused portraits.

Creative filters and effects.

Get creative with unique mood-setting filters and effects. Z 50 includes 20 high quality Creative Picture Controls and 10 Special Effects, all of which can be previewed in real-time and applied to both photos and videos.

Silence is golden.

When you need to be a fly on the wall—capturing intimate moments, candid portraits, wildlife, music and more—turn on Silent Photography Mode and shoot in complete silence.


Oh, what a viewfinder

Feast your eyes on Z 50’s stunning high-resolution Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). It activates when you bring the camera to your eye, and it shows you exactly how your photos and videos will look—preview Creative Picture Modes, filters, effects and camera settings in real time.


Z mount. One size fits all

Your lens collection can grow with your creative aspirations. Z 50 works with all the cutting-edge NIKKOR Z lenses and approx. 360 compatible DSLR lenses (with the optional Mount Adapter FTZ).


A touch of genius

Swipe through photos and videos, touch to focus, navigate camera menus as easily as using a smartphone with Z 50’s large high-resolution touchscreen.

Chic ergonomic.
Form and function in complete harmony.

  • Comfortable Viewing

    Electronic Viewfinder is slightly extended for a more comfortable glare-free fit against your eye.
     

  • Smart Controls

    Extreme attention was paid to the placement of each button and dial for comfortable, efficient handling.
     

  • High-End Feel

    You can feel the quality. Well balanced, deep grip, magnesium alloy construction...sturdy in every way.

NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens
See the big picture with the smallest of lenses.

The absolute smallest NIKKOR Z lens—the smallest DX format lens ever, in fact—the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR covers the sweet spot of the zoom range, letting you capture street scenes and landscapes as easily as portraits and close-ups. It has powerful Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization to keep your videos steady and your photos sharp. It focuses quickly and silently and surpresses focus breathing—ideal for recording videos and high-speed action. And when not in use, it retracts into itself for a compact profile and added protection.

NIKKOR Image Quality

Capture vibrant street scenes, landscapes, portraits, selfies, low light, action, how-to videos and more. This little powerhouse can do so much.

Small and Mighty

Delivers big imaging power and durability in an ultra-compact package. When used on the Z 50, you've got Nikon's smallest DX interchangeable lens camera configuration ever.
Z 50 and NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR photo of a seaside city in low light from above

Rock Steady

Built-in VR image stabilization keeps you sharp and steady, even when handheld. It also lets you shoot stills at slower shutter speeds (up to 4.5 stops*)—a huge advantage in low-light situations.

Wide or Vertical 4K Videos

The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR's zoom range is ideal for everything from interviews and how-to videos to close-ups and establishing shots. Like high-end cinema lenses, it's designed to suppress focus breathing—a common occurrence with smartphones, that makes videos look amateurish. Plus, its AF motor, focusing ring and control ring are virtually silent, so the camera's built-in mic won't pick up noise from the lens during recording.

  • Precision Autofocus

    The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR uses a blazing fast, nearly silent stepping motor for autofocusing, and it performs brilliantly with Z series' Eye AF to keep focus right where you want it.
     

  • High Contrast

    An Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass lens element reduces color defects and glare for sharper, clearer images with outstanding contrast.
     

  • Customized Control

    Assign your favorite function to the control ring—aperture control (great for iris transitions during video recording), ISO adjustments, exposure compensation or manual focus.

NIKKOR Z: The front line of an imaging revolution.

Designed and optimized to take full advantage of the Z system's larger mount, Z lenses like the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR gather substantially more light, providing even illumination and improved sharpness from the center of the frame to the far edges. Autofocusing is fast and quiet. Video recording is clean and smooth with highly minimized focus breathing and reduced wobbling. Intuitive on-lens controls can be customized to your individual shooting style and so much more. Z lenses are designed with a sense of consistency that combines reliability and beauty with next-dimension optical performance for complete freedom in image creation.

Additional Lens Features:

Stepping Motor

NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism

An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. With conventional D/G type lenses, the diaphragm blades are operated by mechanical linkage levers.

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass

An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

IF Lens

A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Aspherical Lens

A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.

Super Integrated Coating

Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.

Vibration Reduction

A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.

Z DX 50-250mm | f/4.5-6.3 VR Lens

Reach farther. Do more.

A telephoto lens gives you more than just zoom power. Telephoto lenses are great for portraits—they render faces naturally without distortion. They make your subject stand out against a soft, blurry background. They let you fill the frame with interesting compositions. And, yes, they also let you get closer to the action—wildlife, sports, concerts, events and more. The NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR delivers compact, lightweight telephoto capabilities for Z series cameras. Fast, accurate and nearly silent, it's equally adept at videos and stills. As a second lens alongside the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR, you can cover just about any shooting situation.

Powerful Image Stabilization

At telephoto distances, the smallest camera movements can blur a photo. Video is even less forgiving—we're all familiar with shaky smartphone videos. The NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR has the most effective Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization system of any NIKKOR yet, up to 5 stops*! Your videos will be rock-steady, and your telephoto photos will be sharp and clear.

Professional-Looking Videos

Telephoto lenses are the best way to get cinematic close-ups and shallow depth of field in your videos. Like high-end cinema lenses, the NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR is designed to suppress focus breathing—a common occurrence with smartphones that makes videos look amateurish. And both its focusing ring and control ring are virtually silent, so you won't hear any camera noises during recording.

  • Precision Autofocus

    The NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR uses a blazing fast, nearly silent stepping motor for autofocusing, and it performs brilliantly with Z series' Eye AF to keep focus right where you want it.

Mount Adapter FTZ II

Adapt Nikon DSLR lenses to Z series mirrorless cameras

The Mount Adapter FTZ II is the bridge between legendary NIKKOR glass and Z series mirrorless cameras, now with a streamlined design. It seamlessly adapts the F-Mount to the larger Z-Mount, retaining the image quality, autofocus performance*, weather sealing and comfortable handling of any mounted lens. Keep using the lenses you love with the most innovative camera bodies available.

No loss of image quality or speed

There is no glass inside of Mount Adapter FTZ II, which means nothing gets between your lens and your image sensor. F-mount lenses retain all of their superb image quality with no loss of brightness, contrast or speed.

Stabilized by the camera body

Experience fast aperture NIKKOR primes like the AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED with up to 5 stops of 3-axis VR* image stabilization. NIKKOR lenses that already have VR, like the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR, get the added benefit of roll axis for a total of 3-axis VR.

Streamlined design

The streamlined design of the Mount Adapter FTZ II means comfortable shooting in any direction, including vertically. With no tripod mount of its own, it also accommodates wider tripod plates on your camera, the MB-N11 battery grip and WT-7A wireless transmitter.

Weather sealed. Durable

Built from magnesium alloy, the Mount Adapter FTZ II is strong and lightweight with a durable finish. It's extensively weather-sealed to preserve the performance of pro-level cameras and lenses. And it makes a precise fit with the camera and lens, crucial for meticulous performance.

Works with so many lenses

The Mount Adapter FTZ II works with approximately 360 F-mount lenses, over 90 of which retain full functionality. From fisheyes to perspective control lenses, fast primes to super telephotos, the Mount Adapter FTZ II brings so many possibilities to the Z series.
