Nikon has announced a new mirrorless camera, the Z f. It has the appearance of the old analogue Nikon FM2 from 1982, but with the latest technology. The Z f houses a 24-megapixel full-frame sensor.

The retro appearance of the Nikon Z f is characterised by the large dials, the shutter button and the typical 1970s and 1980s Nikon logo. The camera houses a special black-and-white switch. This makes it easy to switch directly to black-and-white photography with the new Monochrome Picture Controls.

The Nikon Z f has the latest EXPEED 7 image processor, making many autofocus options available. The camera has the same nine types of subject recognition as the Z 8. AF 3D tracking has also been improved.

The Z f can shoot up to 30 frames per second. The camera offers pre-buffering, allowing images to be saved up to 1 second before the shutter button is pressed. The photos can be saved to one of the two memory cards, or to both.

Nikon has built several new features into this new camera. These include adjusting the AF point via the touchscreen, pixel-shift shooting for higher resolutions, and deep learning technology for subject identification.

For video, there is 10-bit H.265 in 4K UHD quality. The maximum recording time is 125 minutes and a handy red frame appears to indicate that recording is taking place. Many video features have been taken from the Z 9.

The Nikon Z f promises many features that make it an interesting camera. The camera will be available from October 2023 in various colour options, and black, of course. The recommended retail price is 2,499 euros.
