Our heritage. Your creativity.
The Z fc is where classic Nikon camera design meets innovative Z series technology for superb image quality and pure, unadulterated style. Wherever you shoot, whatever you shoot-from stills to movies to vlogs. Propel your creativity into the future with the lightweight DX-format mirrorless camera that puts iconic in your hands.

Capture your iconic moments with a camera that connects you to the aesthetic you've always loved. Inspired by the celebrated Nikon FM2 SLR film camera from the early '80s, the Z fc mirrorless camera boasts authentic design details that have been meticulously re-created: from the control dials to the round viewfinder and the classic Nikon logo engraved on the pentaprism.

Iconic-it's in the family
The black textured body. The subtle grain in the silver metal of the frame. The Z fc mirrorless camera displays just as much character as the Nikon SLR film cameras of yesterday-and its special-edition NIKKOR Z lens looks the part too. It's all about original design details from back then. And real creative power for today.

Handles like a Nikon film camera
Control dials are laid out just as they were on the Nikon FM2 and each dial is machined from solid aluminium. The mechanisms actuate with incredible precision-you'll feel the click. If you've used a Nikon SLR camera before, your muscle memory will kick right back in. If you haven't, you'll love the physicality of the dials.

Physical control dials
Individual dials let you control shutter speed, exposure compensation, and ISO sensitivity without going into the camera menu. You can also set up the camera so that you can use the command dials for shutter speed or exposure compensation.

Top display panel
Are you going for portraits with shallow depth of field, or wide street scenes that are sharp from front to back? The small display panel lets you confirm aperture at a glance by showing you the f/stop number you're shooting at.

Round electronic viewfinder
The high-resolution viewfinder on the Z fc is electronic, but the design is circular-just like the optical viewfinder was on the Nikon FM2. You'll see everything clearly and it activates when you bring the camera up to your eye.

Built for today
The Z fc might look like it just stepped out of the '80s, but the robust magnesium-alloy chassis ensures this mirrorless camera is ready for today. Sturdy in every way, the body is also lightweight and easy to carry around. Hang it from your shoulder and prepare for admiring glances from passers-by.

You can feel the quality
The skeleton of the Z fc is forged from magnesium alloy, the same material used in Nikon's professional cameras. Striking an optimal balance of durability and lightness, this is a camera designed to go wherever inspiration takes you.

Love the performance
Designed around the revolutionary Nikon Z mount, the Z fc mirrorless camera can capture your iconic moments in stunning quality. Thanks to the Z mount, the large 20.9 MP DX-format sensor captures more light. And more light means more of everything good-sharpness, contrast, focusing speed, and low-light performance.

Iconic moments in real detail
The Z fc doesn't just look iconic. Thanks to its high-resolution sensor and wide automatic light-sensitivity range of 100-51200 ISO, this camera gives you superb sharpness, detail, and clarity-day or night. The smooth, fast autofocus system lets you shoot at up to 11 frames per second. You'll get the shot, no matter how fleeting the action might be.

Right in any light
Iconic moments don't wait for perfect lighting, and nor does the Z fc. With its wide ISO range and low-light AF, you can keep on shooting when the sun goes down.

Filters and effects
There are 20 in-camera Creative Picture Controls for photos and videos, all visible in real time while you shoot. Simply adjust the intensity to match your vision.

Friends and family
Shooting portraits? Eye-Detection AF quickly finds your subjects' eyes-humans, cats and dogs alike-and keeps them in sharp focus, even if they move.

Tell stories your way
How will you capture your iconic moments? Video wasn't an option with the Nikon FM2, but that SLR camera still broke barriers when it arrived, with faster shutter speeds than ever before. The Z fc delivers stunning video footage-and it's also the first Nikon Z camera to feature a vari-angle monitor. Prepare to take your framing to a whole other level whether shooting handheld or with a tripod.

Masterful movies
You can record 4K/UHD video at 30p, or turn ordinary moments into epic moments by shooting slow-motion footage in Full HD. You can also capture still frames while filming and create dramatic 4K time-lapse sequences in-camera.

Intriguing angles
The high-resolution vari-angle touchscreen monitor makes it easy to shoot at the angle you want. Turn the monitor to the front and the camera automatically enters self-portrait mode. Perfect whether you're filming or taking selfies.

Vibrant vlogs
Great content deserves to look great, too. With the Z fc, you'll get incredible sharpness and flattering depth of field. Use it for interviews-or turn the vari-angle monitor on yourself for perfectly framed straight-to-camera segments.

Stream like a pro
Set your live streams apart from the rest with great looking video. Go live with the best version of yourself using your Z fc and the free Nikon Webcam Utility.

Easy sharing
You only need to connect to the Z fc from the SnapBridge app once. You can then transfer photos and movies manually or automatically, for easy sharing or backup.

USB charging
You can charge (camera off) or power your Z fc via USB?. Convenient if you want to shoot for longer periods indoors or while recording a time-lapse video.

Perfect partners
Go from portraits to wide-angle views with ease. Simply pair the Z fc with its kit lenses, the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2 SE or the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR.

Ready for you
As a member of the Nikon Z family, the Z fc works with all NIKKOR Z lenses. There's also an optional grip for a deeper hold, and vlogging accessories, too.
