THE UNSTOPPABLE Z 9

The change is here: seize the power of the flagship Z series mirrorless camera and the world-best, industry-and Nikon-first features within

A big change has arrived in the world of photography. Nikon Middle East FZE. unveils the Z 9, the revolutionary full-frame (Nikon FX-format) Z series mirrorless camera designed to surpass expectations with its unrivalled performance and breakthrough features that are firsts for both in the mirrorless category and in Nikon.

Enhancing user capability, the introduction of the Z 9 allows professionals to capture stills and videos with ease. Nikon’s first 4-axis vertical and horizonal tilting monitor and integrated vertical grip will have users capturing the best moments in comfort, even under the harshest conditions. The Z 9 also features the world’s largest*1 variety of simultaneous subject detection amongst mirrorless cameras, with its tenacious autofocus (AF) offering, and the Real-Live Viewfinder without blackout period. Users will be among the first to enjoy shooting with stunning 8K in-camera recording for up to 125 minutes for making it the most practical camera for location shoots.

“A camera is an extension of a photographer, supporting them to express their visions and narratives through images and videos. The flagship Z series mirrorless camera was developed with this in mind, to empower users with ground-breaking capabilities, while ensuring smooth operations with state-ofthe-art ergonomics, to deliver utmost efficiency and reliability. There’s nothing quite like the Z 9. Whether it is immortalising high-speed races, fleeting wildlife moments or avant-garde fashion shows, both professionals and experienced hobbyists alike are unstoppable in their pursuit of capturing every best moment.” said Grant Norton, CEO of Premium Brand Distributors for Nikon in South Africa.

With an advanced algorithm that utilises the newly developed deep learning technology, transcend expectations with the powerful performance of the Z 9 that delivers the world’s largest*1 variety of simultaneous subject detection of people, animals, and vehicles; tracking a total of nine subjects simultaneously in both stills and videos, without the need to toggle back and forth to switch settings. When the Auto mode is selected, the algorithm automatically selects main subjects with comprehensive consideration of information such as subject size, position, defocus, and more2.

In addition, the improved detection performance and an increased 405-point auto-area AF have enhanced the AF acquisition and tracking of even smaller subjects and their movements. The subject detection works for wide-area AF (S) and (L), auto-area AF, 3D-tracking, even during video recording.

Introducing 3D-tracking for still image shooting, this first-time feature in Nikon mirrorless cameras allows users to seamlessly capture the spilt-second moments, from the fastest sprinters to race cars and effectively keep tracking them. Additionally, with the high-speed processing from the new EXPEED 7, which also enhances subject detection performance, even documenting fleeting audience expressions can now be a breeze.

With the world’s fastest*2 120 fps continuous shooting (High-Speed Frame Capture+*3), make an impact in capturing the detail and precision of what only the Z 9 can see – fleeting micro-moments that are invisible to the naked eye. Continuous shooting of up to 120 fps is supported with NIKKOR Z lenses, and 94 kinds of NIKKOR F lenses with AF. The Z 9 can also continuously shoot at 20fps to capture over 1,000 frames*4 in JPEG or RAW formats, even when flicker reduction is turned on. This is a first for Nikon that is made possible with the high processing capability and large buffer of EXPEED 7 and the fast write speed of a CFexpress Type B card.

*2 Users can change the main subject with the multi selector, if the camera shows unintended subjects. *3 With AF/AE tracking. JPEG normal image quality only. The number of frames that can be shot is less than that of highspeed continuous shooting. Use of a recommended card is advised. With C30 setting, approx. 45- megapixel images can be shot at 30 fps. *4 When using NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens and ProGrade Digital Cobalt 1700R 325GB memory card; in [RAW + JPEG] or [JPEG + JPEG] recording, duration for continuous shooting is approx. 3 seconds; future firmware update within this year will further enhance this function.
