NIKON Z50 +16-50MM + 50-250MM

20.9MP DX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 image processor

The 20.9MP CMOS sensor with DX format is paired with the EXPEED 6 image processor to provide a versatile mix of high sensitivity, nuanced image quality, and fast overall performance. At native values, a sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200 allows for work in a wide range of lighting conditions, and it can be further expanded to ISO 204800 for extreme low-light conditions. The combination of resolution and sensor size also contributes to clean image quality and smooth color transitions with reduced noise across the sensitivity range. In addition to benefiting image quality, the EXPEED 6 processor also offers great speed throughout the camera system, including a maximum full-resolution continuous shooting speed of 11 fps and 30 fps at 8MP.

In addition to the image, the sensor design also incorporates a 209-point hybrid autofocus system, which uses phase detection and contrast detection methods to acquire focus quickly and accurately for both still image and video applications. This focus system is also compatible with Eye Detection AF, which uses facial recognition to help focus on the subjects' eyes.

UHD 4K video recording

Capable of recording more than just still images, the Z 50 supports UHD 4K video recording at up to 30 fps and Full HD recording at up to 120 fps for slow-motion effects, along with the ability to save movie files to the camera's memory cards or an optional external recorder via HDMI output. It is also possible to shoot in-camera intervals with the ability to produce a finished UHD 4K video file directly from the camera.

Body design and connectivity

• A large 3.2" LCD screen with 1.04 million dots is available for playback of bright, clear, and vivid images, as well as live image capture. The screen features a 180° tilting design, which is beneficial for front-facing selfies, and it is also a touchscreen for more intuitive operation, navigation, and control of settings.
• An electronic search engine for 3.6m points is present for comfortable eye-level viewing. It has a magnification of 1.02x and uses NIKKOR optics to ensure a sharp and clear image.
• The individual SD memory card slots support up to the UHS-I protocol for quickly storing photo and video files.
• A robust magnesium alloy chassis is dust and weather resistant to benefit working in adverse climates and inclement conditions.
• Built-in SnapBridge connectivity to enable seamless transfer of low-resolution images, as well as remote shooting capabilities. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Wi-Fi allow communication between the camera and a smart device, and additionally, the mobile device can remotely trigger the shutter and display a live view image from the camera to allow working from a distance.
• The included EN-EL25 rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 300 shots per charge, and in-camera charging is supported when using the optional EH-73P charging AC adapter.
