Auto Capture
Now Optimised for Next-Level Action.
Elevate your sports photography and videography with the enhanced Auto Capture. The new reserve function lets you set shooting times in advance, saving battery during setups. Manual focus1 is now even easier, directly selectable on the camera itself. Plus, enjoy increased flexibility with [C15] and [C60] modes, enabling you to capture moments at your preferred burst rates.
Farewell Flicker.
Say goodbye to flicker headaches. New presets tailored to handle commonly encountered sources like LED signboards are now available2. Adjusting values is simple – simply hold down the [High frequency flicker reduction] button. No more manual hunting for the perfect shutter speed, letting you capture your best moments without the distraction of flickering lights.
Perfect Your Portraits.
Rich Tone Portrait is now supported. It brings out radiant skin textures, capturing richer tones and intricate details—perfect for straight-out-of-camera shots at weddings or in the studio. Ideal as a base for retouching, this feature, combined with Portrait Impression Balance, Skin Softening, and NIKKOR Z lenses such as NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S, NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S or NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena, create stunning results.
