Features
Nikon Z f logo

The Z f is a full-frame camera speculated to use the same 24.5MP BSI-CMOS sensor used in the Nikon Z 6II as its official specification are the same. It has a 273-point phase-detection autofocus system and can shoot up to 10 frames per second in normal mode, and 14 frames per second in expanded mode.[6]

Although it closely reassembles the Nikon Z fc which was also based on the design of Nikon's classic FM2 with almost the same internals of Nikon Z 50, there are number of upgrades on the Z f even in comparison to the Z6II that the camera internals are based on.[2]

This includes 8 stops of Internal Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) which only the Sony α7R V is capable of at the time of Z f's release,[7] and world's first Focus-point Stabilization technology which the IBIS axises shifts and rotates around the user selected autofocus point rather than in the middle like the conventional IBIS.

Nikon's Focus-point Stabilization technology allows for sharper stabilized image at the focused point, whereas the conventional IBIS cannot compensate the blurs that are further away from the center of the sensor.[8]

The Z f also is the first camera in the Nikon range that allows for Pixel Shift Shooting, which can produce up to 96 Megapixel image by taking multiple shots (32 for 96 Megapixels) in quick succession while the sensor is shifted pixel by pixel. The taken shots are then processed in Nikon's NX Studio to form a single large megapixel picture.[9] The overall process is the same as Fujifilm's Pixel Shift Multi-Shot[10] and Sony's Pixel Shift Multi Shooting[11] function.

The body, top plate and bottom plate of the camera is made from magnesium alloy, and plastics are used in some areas. Major difference with the Z fc is that brass is used for the top dials instead of aluminum.[12] The kit lens for the Z f includes a Nikkor Z 40mm ƒ/2 (Special Edition) designed to match the body.[13]

Camera is Nikon's first to implement a dual SD/Micro-SD setup. The image processor have also been upgrade to Expeed 7, and the camera's autofocus is on par with those of Nikon Z 8 and Z 9.[4]

On 25 September 2023, Nikon announced that the Z f is expected for delayed delivery for some customers due to unexpected order volume.[14]
