Having gained an excellent reputation for the way the Z 6 and Z 7 fit and feel in the hand, the pressure was on to ensure the Z 50 offered a similarly pleasing handling experience. Rather than starting from scratch, Nikon looked at the success of the Z 6 and Z 7’s design before setting about making its smallest Z-series camera to date. Nikon’s FTZ mount adapter is compatible too should any Z 50 users wish to use their older F-mount lenses as they start to build up their Z mount collection. The cheapest full frame Z mount lens at present is the Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S (£349), which is equivalent to a 75mm f/1.8 prime on the Z 50. It should also be pointed out there’s nothing to stop Nikon’s full frame Z-mount lenses being used with the Z 50, but a 1.5x crop factor does apply.
Looking at Nikon’s lens roadmap tells us the next DX-format Z mount zoom to arrive will cover a focal length of 18-140mm (equivalent to 27-210mm). Here we see the new Nikon Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR kit zoom extended to the furthest point in its zoom range Its Vibration Reduction is effective to 4.5 stops, it has a minimum focus distance of just 20cm and it accepts filters and adapters of the 46mm variety. The Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is a compact retracting zoom that adds very little weight (135g) to the camera and is equivalent to 24-75mm in 35mm terms. Nikon has released two DX-format Z mount zooms to coincide with Z 50’s release.

NIKON Z50 FULL FRAME DOWNLOAD
Pairing the camera to a smartphone is very straight forward and so is the way you download images, either at their original size, or a reduced 2MP resolution.
NIKON Z50 FULL FRAME BLUETOOTH
The alternative is to trigger the camera wirelessly using the remote shooting function within Nikon’s SnapBridge app that connects via the Z 50’s Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. The eye-sensor that detects your eye being raised to the viewfinder is effective and quickly switches the feed from screen to electronic viewfinder and vice versaĪnyone who’d like to use the Z 50 with a wired remote release will need to make sure it’s accessory port compatible – Nikon’s MC-DC2 (£35) being one such example. Like the Z 7 and Z 6 there’s the option of manually selecting the electronic first-curtain to eliminate blurring caused by shutter shock, but this does limit the top end shutter speed to a maximum of 1/2000sec. The Z 50’s silent shooting mode automatically engages the electronic front-curtain shutter, which true to its word eliminates the slap of the mechanical shutter when you’d like to shoot discreetly. Shutter speed ranges from 30secs to 1/4000sec with a flash sync of 1/200sec.
Rather than adding a switch to the lens, it’s controlled directly from the camera. Instead, Nikon has opted for optical stabilisation in the form of Vibration Reduction (VR) technology built into its new Z mount APS-C lenses. That something is in-body image stabilisation (IBIS). Nikon weren’t able to keep the body small and deliver the Z 50 at under £1000 without forgoing something though. It’s possible to change what they control from the Z 50’s Custom controls (shooting) options The Z 50 adopts function buttons (Fn1 and Fn2) from the Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z 7. These include pinpoint AF to aid with precise focusing on small subjects in the frame, single-point AF, the choice of two wide-area AF modes and an auto AF mode that works in conjunction with the face/eye detection modes when photographing portraits and groups of people. Like the Z 6 and Z 7, users get five AF-area modes. In total there are 209 phase detection AF points, which cover 90% of the frame horizontally and 100% vertically, with the option to select every other point for faster AF point repositioning across the frame. With on-chip phase-detection pixels and a wide AF working range of -4 to +19 EV, expectations of its hybrid focusing system are high.
NIKON Z50 FULL FRAME ISO
It has a low pass filter and teams up with an EXPEED 6 image processor that sees it shoot across a broad sensitivity range of ISO 100-51,200 (expandable to ISO 204,800). The sensor that’s located directly behind the large Z-mount is closely related to the 20.9-million-pixel APS-C CMOS chip that’s been used before in the Nikon D500 and D7500. When the 16-50mm kit lens is retracted, the camera and lens can fit inside most jacket pockets
