Nikon Z30 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body

Compact, connected, and designed for creators, the Nikon Z30 is a purpose-built mirrorless camera optimised for vloggers and live streamers. Pairing Nikon's noteworthy image quality, 4K video recording, and a large 20.8MP DX-format sensor with a specialised feature-set and design, the Z30 is designed to elevate your content and tag along on your everyday adventures.

Video and Streaming
At the heart of the camera is a DX-format 20.8MP CMOS sensor, which benefits not only video production needs but also makes the Z30 a highly capable stills camera, too. UHD 4K recording up to 30p is supported for crisp, high-resolution video needs. Full HD 120p recording is available too, for slow-motion playback. Continuous recording for up to 2 hours and 15 minutes is possible for documenting events or any other situation that requires longer continuous takes. Live streaming is possible at up to Full HD 60p or 4K 30p, and the Z30 is compatible with a variety of web conferencing apps, meaning it can easily function as a high-quality webcam, too. For longer takes, streaming, and other instances where you need constant power, the Z30 can be powered via the USB Type-C port.

Photo Capabilities
Versatile 20.8MP resolution suits stills needs, too, and means the Z30 is a perfect tool for capturing stills during productions or for photographing higher-resolution thumbnails and promotional images. The large DX-format sensor benefits working in low-light conditions by producing imagery with low noise, high clarity, and a useful sensitivity range from ISO 100-51200, or up to ISO 25600 when recording video. For photographing fast-moving action, a top continuous shooting speed up to 11 fps is available. Merging stills and video, in-camera time-lapse production is possible. Built-in presets and filters can also be used to refine your photos and videos straight from the camera.

Vlogging Essentials
Purpose-built for vlogging and content creation, the Z30 incorporates a series of physical touches and operational functions perfect for creators: Compact body design incorporates a 3" 1.04m-dot free-angle LCD screen. This positionable screen can face forward for accurate selfie compositions and can close inward to protect the screen from scratches and fingerprints when not in use. Selfie-style controls permit changing the focus position and exposure, as well as setting the self-timer, via the touchscreen when the screen is facing forward. Front red tally lamp clearly indicates when the camera is recording. Special attention is given to audio recording with the inclusion of a top stereo microphone along with the inclusion of a 3.5mm external microphone port for working with an optional mic. Also, there is an optional dedicated Wind Muff to cut wind noise and improve quality when using the onboard mic. Steady your handheld videos using the digital e-VR image stabilisation, which helps to reduce unwanted wobbles and shakes while recording.

Fast, Reliable Autofocus
Hybrid autofocus system uses both phase-detection and contrast-detection methods to quickly and accurately acquire focus for both stills and video applications. Eye Detection AF uses facial recognition to help lock focus onto subjects' eyes.

Face and eye tracking can recognise people, dogs, and cats, and can lock onto these subjects and track focus as they move around the scene. Ideal for product close-ups, the AF system quickly and naturally shifts focus as you hold something up to the camera and then re-shifts focus to the subject as the product is moved away.

Connectivity and Operation
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatibility work with the SnapBridge app for mobile devices, enabling remote camera control as well as wireless transferring of photos and videos to your smartphone or tablet. Intuitive design includes a '?' button to provide a clear explanation of all camera settings, there is a dedicated Auto mode for times when you'd rather the camera optimise the shooting settings, and there's a customisable 'i' menu for quick access to your essential settings.
