Camera OverviewNikon Z fc

The Nikon Zfc is a retro-styled APS-C mirrorless camera built around a 20.9MP sensor powered by the EXPEED 6 image processor. It covers an ISO range of 100 to 51200, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The autofocus system combines Phase Detection and Contrast Detection across 209 focus points, and includes Eye Detection AF and AI-Based Subject Tracking for reliable subject acquisition.

For stills, the camera delivers a maximum burst rate of 11fps at a resolution of 5568x3712 pixels, with six Picture Control color profiles including Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, and Landscape. On the video side, the Zfc records up to 4K with frame rate options spanning 24fps through 120fps, in 8-bit depth, and adds a Flat color profile to the video Picture Control options. Stabilization is handled digitally via Electronic IS — there is no in-body optical stabilization.

The camera features a 3.0-inch fully articulating TFT LCD touchscreen at 1.04 million dots and a 2.36 million dot OLED EVF with a 60Hz refresh rate. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C, Micro HDMI, and a 3.5mm microphone jack, though no headphone jack is present. The body is constructed from magnesium alloy with plastic elements, measures 135 x 94 x 44 mm, weighs 390g, and carries no weather sealing.

It uses EN-EL25 batteries rated at approximately 300 shots per charge.
