Nikon Z9 Overview
Unstoppable was just the beginning. Stills or video, Nikon’s firmware updates are keeping the Z 9 flagship mirrorless camera at the top of its game. Whether it’s news, sports, fashion, reportage, events. Take the most advanced camera we’ve ever made. To places only you can reach.
No misses. No limits. No boundaries.
The Z 9 will take you as close to perfect as you can imagine. The new, stacked 45.7 MP full-frame CMOS sensor and ultra-fast EXPEED 7 processer deliver astonishing image quality. Nikon’s most advanced AF system ever re-defines tenacious. Day-long shoots. Hours of 8K video. The most extreme locations. The fastest action. The Z 9 stands up to the toughest professional demands—and then some.
Class-leading, mind-blowing AF
Continuous AF calculations performed at unheard-of speeds. Simultaneous subject recognition powered by advanced AI algorithms. Real-time views with absolutely no EVF blackout. There might not be an algorithm for luck—but there’s a whole system for precision.
Deep-learning AI
People, animals, birds, vehicles. No other AF system can recognise so many subjects in a scene at once. The Z 9 can lock onto eyes no matter how small the subject is within the frame and recognise faces—even if they’re upside down!
Advanced auto-area AF
The phenomenal 493-point AF system includes 405 auto-area AF points—five times more than the Z 7II. Subject tracking across the frame surpasses even that of the acclaimed D6. 10 AF-area modes let you optimise your AF setup for any job.
Advanced 3D tracking
The pitch. The sky. The track. The Z 9 follows subjects with ferocious precision. Our most advanced 3D-tracking system understands what you’re shooting and reacts instantly to changes in subject position, orientation, or velocity.
Selectable AF patterns
Find razor-sharp focus where you need it most. Up to 20 selectable wide-area AF patterns let you customise your AF for tricky shooting situations. Avoid fixed obstacles like tennis nets or hurdles as you stay locked on the action.
Blaze ahead—fast
Blistering speeds of up to 120 fps with full AF/AE put the Z 9 firmly in a class of its own. You can also shoot at 20 fps and capture over 1000 full-resolution images in one high-speed burst. Lens choice is vast, with over 100 fast Nikon lenses supporting shooting at up to 120 fps.
No visible rolling shutter
The world’s fastest sensor-scan rates and super-fast shutter speeds virtually do away with rolling-shutter distortion. Images won’t look warped. Straight lines will look straight.
Fast shutter speeds
Shutter speeds of 1/32000 combine with the camera’s ability to shoot at ISO 64 for incredible depth of field when shooting with fast NIKKOR Z lenses, even in extreme bright-light conditions.
Tireless buffer
Shoot without interruption. The deep, high-speed buffer won’t slow you down, and easily handles shooting at up to 120 fps. Dual slots accept fast CFexpress Type B cards that easily keep the buffer clear.
Blackout-free EVF for real-time views
You have never seen a view like this before. The Z 9 boasts the world’s brightest (3000-nit) electronic viewfinder display—and there’s absolutely no lag. With up to 120 fps refresh rate, you get a genuine, continuous real-time view. If your subject moves or there’s the slightest change in the scene you’re shooting—you’ll see it.
Four-axis tilting monitor
Adapt to the moment with fast, flexible framing. The large, responsive monitor tilts 90 degrees from a horizontal or vertical shooting position. You’re free to let the action lead, and nail extremely low or high angles with ease.
Intuitive information display
The info display automatically rotates when you switch to shoot vertically. The clean interface makes settings quick to confirm in landscape or portrait orientation, and the i-menu and ISO buttons are easy to reach when shooting vertically.
Advanced on-the-spot customisation
The Z 9 lets nothing come between you and the image. The info display can show a pure view or a customized view. You can assign focus positions to multiple buttons: each button can recall a separate focus position or the same focus position.
Pre-release image capture
The days of ‘I just missed it’ are gone. In High-Speed Frame Capture, the Z 9 can record images for up to a second before you fully press the shutter-release button. And you can set a post-release burst to continue for up to four seconds.
Game-changing images
Astonishing detail. Pin-sharp precision. The quality of the files coming straight from the camera is where you win or lose. With the Z 9—you win. Maximum colour depth is astounding. Dynamic range in stills and video is truly staggering. Images are exceptionally clean. File sizes are revolutionary.
Extraordinary in any light
A native ISO range of 64 to 25600 (expandable to 32-102400, equivalent) couples with an advanced noise-reduction algorithm—and in-camera flicker reduction. Nail exceptional results under the toughest lighting conditions.
Intelligent AWB
From diverse skin tones to sunsets. New AI algorithms offer exceptional Auto White Balance accuracy when shooting portraits or working in natural light. Dedicated algorithms ensure faces are properly exposed when using iTTL fill flash.
A new way to deliver RAW
Go all in on image quality without compromising transfer speeds. The Z 9 lets you work with a new high-efficiency RAW file format. Files retain the same level of detail as uncompressed RAW—at one-third of the standard RAW file size.
Exquisite 8K video—in-camera
The Z 9’s incredible imaging power lets you record exquisite full-frame 8K video and time-lapse movies in-camera. You can record hours of 8K video footage at 30p—or go all the way and record RAW 8.3K video in ultra-smooth 60p. You get full AF/AE and Eye-Detection AF when filming. Files are beautifully clean, and Nikon’s new N-RAW format keeps file sizes manageable.
Cinematic 8K flexibility
Nikon’s N-RAW lets you use the full width of the Z 9 sensor to internally record ultra-high-resolution 8.3K (8256×4644) video. If you don’t need the wider format, you can record standard 8K DCI (8192×4320), or 8K UHD (7680×4320).
4K video at up to 120p
The Z 9 also records thrilling 4K footage, using the full width of its sensor. You get absolute clarity in every pixel, and more client-friendly file sizes. Choose from frame rates, including 120p for silky-smooth slow motion.
4K UHD oversampled from 8K
For maximum definition when filming in 4K, you can record incredibly sharp 4K/60p UHD footage oversampled from 8K. Get the best possible quality from the camera, without the need to store 8K files.
24-bit sound
With 24-bit sound available in linear PCM recording, the Z 9 lets you record footage with beautifully dynamic audio. You can also turn off power to the microphone connector, diminishing unwanted noise from unused components.
12-bit RAW in-camera recording
Expand your range to 12-bit in-camera recording with ProRes RAW HQ (up to 4K/60p) or Nikon’s new N-RAW format (up to 8K/60p and 4K/120p). You can also record at an 8-bit/10-bit depth in-camera using H.265 (HEVC), or 10-bit Apple ProRes 422 HQ.
Perfect exposure
The camera’s waveform monitor makes it easy to find bright areas, dark areas, and hotspots in the frame. N-Log or RAW, you can confirm tricky exposures at a glance.
Easy confirmation
The custom i-menu lets you display the main video settings simultaneously on the monitor. You can also confirm resolution and frame rate via the camera’s top screen.
No mistakes
Say goodbye to accidental recording—or failure to record. When you press the recording button, a red REC frame appears on the monitor to let you know you’re rolling.
8K still frames
You can extract consecutive high-resolution still frames from up to 10 seconds of 8K footage, and save them as individual JPEG files.⁸ Ideal if you need to deliver video footage and stills.
Unparalleled creative lighting
Red-carpet events. High-concept fashion shoots. Fast-paced urban sports. The Z 9 is compatible with Speedlights and Speedlight systems suited to any location and every assignment. The camera’s electronic shutter means you can work with a flash in complete silence when needed. New AI algorithms remove the risk of over-exposing people’s faces by accurately controlling the volume of light fired.
