The Nikon Z 7 is a mirrorless system camera housing from the Japanese manufacturer Nikon with a Z bayonet . The camera was presented on August 23, 2018 and is designed for professional use.
technical features
With the Z 6 and Z 7 models, the Z series initially comprises two mirrorless system camera housings with full-format sensors . Both cameras use a back-illuminated chip (Back Side Illumination, BSI technology) without a low-pass filter . The filter glass of the image sensor of the Z 7 has a better anti-reflective coating, so that unwanted reflections between the image sensor and objective lenses are more strongly suppressed. The inside diameter of the Nikon Z bayonet is 55 millimeters and at the time of the announcement it was the full-frame bayonet with the largest inside diameter. The larger opening means that more light can be directed onto the image sensor through the new Z lenses. A corresponding, manually focussed 0.95 / 58 mm lens was announced for 2019, which is extremely bright .
The Z 7 has 493 focus areas , which is significantly more than previous Nikon cameras. A five-axis image stabilizer (VR) is integrated into the weatherproof camera housing and it has extensive video functions.
At the same time as the Z 6 and Z 7 camera models, Nikon initially presented three new lenses for the Z-mount: a 35mm f / 1.8, a 50mm f / 1.8 and a zoom 24–70mm f / 4. The new Z-Mount is the first new development of a lens connection for 35mm cameras from Nikon since 1959, so there is a wide range of high-performance lenses from many manufacturers for the F-Mount. In order to ensure that these lenses can be used seamlessly, Nikon has provided the Z models with an F- to Z-mount adapter with which, with a few exceptions, all Nikon F lenses since 1959 can be connected to the Z series cameras can. Modern AF-S, AF-P and AF-I Nikkor lenses can be used with this adapter on the Z 7 without restrictions. Older AF-D Nikkor lenses without their own AF motor can use all other functions except for the autofocus, such as B. Focus peaking in the viewfinder, VR, exposure control and all exposure modes. Even older AF (without D-Chip), AI or AI-S Nikkor lenses no longer allow focus peaking and the number of exposure modes that can be used may also be limited.
