Nikon Z9 FX-Format 8K Video Mirrorless Camera Body
The Nikon Z9 is a professional full-frame mirrorless camera featuring a 45.7MP stacked CMOS sensor and an EXPEED 7 processor. The stacked sensor and high-speed processing are designed to provide fast image processing, high-speed autofocus, rapid burst shooting and reduced rolling-shutter distortion. The camera uses the Nikon Z mount and supports RAW and JPEG image formats for high-resolution photography.
For professional video production, the Z9 supports internal 12-bit N-RAW recording up to 8.3K at 60p, 4.1K at 60p ProRes RAW and 10-bit oversampled 4K UHD recording at up to 120p. The supplied information specifies continuous recording for up to 2 hours and also highlights slow-motion recording capabilities for action-focused video production.
The camera uses deep-learning AI autofocus with 3D Tracking and a 493-point phase-detection autofocus system. The subject detection system is specified for multiple subjects including people, eyes, birds, animals, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and airplanes. This provides automated subject tracking for professional photography and videography applications.
The Z9 uses an all-electronic shutter with a maximum shutter speed of 1/32000 second. Continuous shooting is available at up to 20fps for RAW files, while 11MP JPEG stills can be captured at up to 120fps. The product information also specifies RAW bursts of more than 1,000 frames, providing high-speed capture for demanding action photography.
A 3.2-inch tilting LCD and electronic viewfinder provide framing and camera control, while connectivity includes HDMI, Bluetooth and USB interfaces. The camera supports professional storage using CFexpress media and is designed for photography, videography and demanding professional workflows.
