    • Effective Pixels: 24.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)

  • General
    • Brand: Nikon
    • Model Number: 1649
    • Product Name: Z 5 4K Video Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)
    • Color: Black
    • Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
    • Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): RAW, TIFF, JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 1/8000 to 30 sec. in steps of 1/3 or 1/2 EV, bulb, time, X200 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: Auto; Programmed auto with flexible program (P); Shutter-priority auto (S); Aperture-priority auto (A); Manual (M); User settings (U1, U2, U3) (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • White Balance Modes: Auto (3 types), Choose color temperature (2,500 K–10,000 K), Cloudy, Direct sunlight, Flash, Fluorescent (7 types), Incandescent, Natural light auto, Preset manual (up to 6 values can be stored), all with fine-tuning, Shade (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 24.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Nikon Z

  • Display
    • Display Type: TFT-LCD
    • Screen Size: 3.2 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: approx. 2100k-dot (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
  • Video
    • Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
    • Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording at 60 fps (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)

Q: I have lens to fit a Nikon D5300. Will these lens fit this camera?

A: They will fit with the FTZ adapter, which you would need to purchase. If your lenses are DX format (cropped sensor), they will work, but they will not work well on a full-frame camera like this one. If the lenses are Nikon lenses, it should say on the side of the lens if it is DX or FX format. The D5300 is a DX format camera, but your lenses could be either DX or FX. If they are FX, they will work as intended.

Q: what are the recommended lenses for the Z-5? are they the same as the Z-50?

A: Any of the Z line lenses unless you buy the ftz adapter. I use a 35mm & 24-70mm on the adapter

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great camera! Especially when switching from DSLR

    I’m coming from a shooting with the Nikon D800 for about 7 years now and i’ve had a lot of trouble switching over to mirrorless. I’ve tried out Sony and Cannon even the Z6ii but those files didn’t satisfy my taste. I picked up this camera thinking “eh I’m probably not gonna like this one either…it’s the cheapest full frame camera in Nikon’s lineup…I need the *pro* cameras which are $3000 +” to my surprise this camera is everything I wanted. It’s has all the pros of a Nikon plus the advantages of mirrorless such as eye af, it’s much lighter, touchscreen af, and more

    Perfect for my needs!

    The first time I have a full frame digital camera. I mostly take videos of my grandchildren. I mostly use the Nikon Z lens 50mm 1:1.8. I like taking videos in the aperture priority mode because I can control the depth of field. The quality is so high even in HD that individual frames are perfect size and resolution for sharing with family and friends. What I also like is the Nikon tradition of compatibility with older lenses. With the FTZ adapter I can use all my older lenses. I have only started exploring the camera's options. However, I was able to start using it with a minimal preparation. It is worth noting the camera's low light capabilities. One of the pictures below is a frame from a HD video the other is a RAW picture.

    New full frame user, giving it two thumbs up.

    My first use of a full sensor and I’m very amazed in the difference from my old crop sensor d3500. The quality of the AF and usability compared to the other Nikon. I am not a pro photographer but really looking to start, this will definitely get my feet wet with the quality of pics. Here are couple shots with my 50mm 1.8 Nikkor z mount lens
