Nikon Z30 Mirrorless Camera Body in More Detail
Advanced Nikon imaging power
With decades of experience and millions of users worldwide, Nikon has created a highly competent hybrid camera for newcomers and those familiar with shooting photos and videos. The Z30 is a massive step-up from a smartphone, capable of capturing beautiful videos and stills to impress any audience, boasting a crop format (DX) CMOS sensor with around 20.9 megapixels. This makes sure your images and videos are next-level with more light gathered and great low light performance.
You can create content day or night with the Z30 thanks to high ISO capabilities of ISO 25,600 for video and ISO 51,200 for photos and the base ISO 100 delivers crisp, clean images in bright settings.
Unmissable video performance
Using the full width of the camera sensor, the Z30 records up to 125 minutes of uninterrupted high quality 4K 30p movies or high speed 120p Full HD for slow motion effects. You can also shoot timelapse and other content, while seeing 100% field of view for easy subject framing. You can create footage with clarity and excellent depth of field for top-class vlogging and streaming.
Powerful features for content creators
Everything content creators need is packed into the compact 405g camera body, which has a deeper ergonomic grip for comfortable handholding. Record audio with built-in stereo microphones or add your favourite external camera mic, like the super lightweight Rode VideoMic GO.
If you livestream to your audience, Nikon includes their free live stream software and the camera can be powered with the USB cable for uninterrupted power while vlogging and streaming.
For selfie content, high and low angles the Z30 includes a 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen monitor which has a clean interface and intuitive controls. Self portrait mode is automatically activated when the LCD is turned forwards, after which the screen becomes uncluttered for a clear view to frame yourself. Settings can be saved separately for stills and video too, with easy switching between different content types.
A deep grip and Nikon’s eVR (electronic vibration reduction) help to keep movies looking smooth and steady even when you run and gun. To make sure creators know when the camera is recording there’s a red border and red light confirmation, while the movie record button on top of the camera is always to hand.
Advanced Autofocus
Nikon’s advanced subject detection AF features human eye and animal (cats and dogs) subject detection which helps you to get sharp focus on your subjects, wherever they move in the frame. The camera will track them as they move around and get pin sharp results letting you concentrate on being creative. Video AF employs full-time AF to stay locked on your subject no matter what they do.
Perfect for photography
When you capture photos you can use advanced AF and shoot with a wide range of ISOs in almost any lighting, and shoot using auto modes for perfect exposures, or manual mode when you want. Capture brilliant shots of fast moving action too, with continuous shooting speeds of up to 11fps with full AF/AE.
WiFi And Bluetooth sharing
Share your content from virtually anywhere with WiFi And Bluetooth connectivity using Nikon’s free SnapBridge app or the included Nikon software for live streaming. The app also lets you control the camera remotely, opening up new creative possibilities for engaging content.
Huge choice of lenses
The mirrorless Z mount on the Z30 allows the camera to accept any Nikon mirrorless lens, including DX models like the stabilised Z DX 16-50mm F/3.56.3 VR lens or full-frame (FX) lenses.
